The Quicksilver 35-8M0162832 is a multi-compatible oil filter designed to service a range of small 4-stroke outboard engines across different brands. Primarily, it is a direct OEM filter for Mercury/Mariner engines from 8 to 30 HP, ensuring a perfect fit and filtration performance up to Mercury’s standards. Additionally, this filter is equivalent to those used in certain Yamaha and Honda engines: for example, Yamaha models from 15 up to 60 HP (including popular Yamaha F25, F40, F50, F60) and Honda 8-50 HP outboards (Honda BF20, BF30, BF40, BF50, etc.). This means if you have a fleet with mixed engine brands, you can rely on this one filter for many of them – a convenience with guaranteed quality.
The integrated anti-drainback valve is an important feature that prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is shut off. For small engines that are frequently started and stopped (such as during trolling or when used as a kicker motor), this is especially beneficial – every time you start up, the engine immediately gets oil instead of running dry for those critical first seconds. The filter media is engineered to meet the specifications of all the aforementioned manufacturers, trapping abrasive particles and sludge that can appear in engine oil.
The Quicksilver 8M0162832’s canister is compact, made to fit in the tight confines of small engines, yet without compromise on strength. It’s corrosion-resistant, which is important if using a Yamaha outboard on saltwater, for example. Replacing it is just as straightforward as with the original filter for each brand – simply spin it on in place of the old one, hand-tighten (or per manual), and you’re done. It’s advisable to change this filter yearly or around every 100 hours of engine operation to ensure optimal care.
- Mercury Compatibility: All Mercury/Mariner 4-stroke outboards 8–30 HP (including both carbureted and EFI models where applicable).
- Yamaha/Honda Compatibility: Yamaha 15–60 HP 4-strokes (e.g., Yamaha F15, F20, F25, F40, F50, F60) and Honda 8–50 HP 4-strokes (BF8, BF9.9, BF20, BF30, BF40, BF50). Note: This Quicksilver filter is commonly referenced as equivalent to Yamaha’s 5GH-13440 and 69J-13440 series filters covering the listed models.
- Practicality: If you own different brands of engines, this universal filter simplifies maintenance – no need to stock separate filters for Mercury and Yamaha/Honda when the Quicksilver 8M0162832 covers both.
- Quality uncompromised: Despite its versatility, this is an OEM-grade product developed by Mercury. You get reliability and proven quality – the filter is designed to withstand the same tests as original Mercury and Yamaha parts, which means a long engine life and peace of mind on the water.
