Oil Filter (help)

[Uncle Dave]

Greetings All<br /><br />Seemed like a simple matter. Just unscrew the filter, take the number to the auto part house and pick up a new filter. Whoa, no listing for mercruiser or quicksilver. On to walmart super center. Even less help there. I had to look it up my self.<br />It is a older(1988) 140 mercruiser. Just a 4 cylinder Chevy motor. Should be snap to cross and replace.<br /><br />Can someone help with the cross.<br />The number on the quicksiver filter is 35-802885Q<br />Thanks,<br />Uncle Dave

Those are very special filters ($85) for the older 140's, you put an automotive filter on there and you will blow every bearing out of it within 1 hour.<br />Ok, just kidding, it's the same filter as a Chevy 5.7

Hi Don,<br /><br />Been to a part store lately? Some kid with sheet metal hanging from his nose and one ear. Hair looks to be in curlers. And ask him to look up a mercruiser part number. Reply Duh.<br /><br />Thanks, I'll try Chevy 5.7 and not mercruiser.<br />Uncle Dave

PH25 or PH30 if it will fit in the doghouse. Dont like those filters? Most places can cross those numbers.
