The Quicksilver 35-877769Q01 oil filter is purpose-built for Mercury’s legendary Verado L6 outboard engines – 4-stroke, inline-six motors ranging from 200 HP to 300 HP (including the special 350 HP and 400R models). As a genuine OEM product, this filter directly replaces the factory filter (Mercury OEM #883701) and delivers equal or better filtration quality. With Quicksilver, you get a filter proven in the harshest environments, keeping your oil clean and safeguarding your valuable Verado engine.
This filter features an integrated anti-drainback valve, meaning oil does not drain out of the filter back into the crankcase when you shut off the engine. At the next startup, oil pressure builds quickly and critical engine components receive immediate lubrication, eliminating the risk of a damaging dry start. The special internal design uses high-capacity pleated filter paper (maximizing surface area) to trap fine soot, metal shavings, and other debris that would otherwise circulate through your engine. This is especially important for supercharged Verado engines that run at high pressures – clean oil ensures reliable performance and a longer life for your supercharger and bearings.
Quicksilver’s filter is also built tough: the metal canister is thick-walled and rust-resistant, able to withstand constant vibration and the marine environment. Even during extended operation, there’s no risk of leaks or bulging. Mercury Marine trusts this filter so much that it’s the recommended unit even for the top-tier Verado 400R (racing edition).
Changing your oil filter is a small investment with big returns – it’s advised to replace it annually or every 100 running hours on a Verado to ensure maximum power and protection. Always use genuine filters and high-quality 4-stroke oil (e.g., Mercury/Quicksilver 25W-40) to maintain your engine’s warranty and health. Your Mercury Verado will reward you with flawless performance, quiet operation, and full power on demand.
- Compatibility: This oil filter fits all Mercury and Mariner Verado inline-6 models – 200 HP, 225 HP, 250 HP, 275 HP, 300 HP, as well as the Verado Pro 350 HP and the high-performance Verado 400R.
- Use Case: Ideal for high-speed boats and RIBs equipped with Verado engines, where reliability under extreme conditions is critical (such as offshore speedboats, patrol and rescue vessels).
- Maintenance Tip: Check your oil level and condition regularly. When replacing the filter, always oil the gasket and hand-tighten the filter per Mercury’s guidelines to ensure proper seating and sealing.
