New Marine Oil Filter Compatible With Mercruiser 4.3L 262 Cid V6 Alpha 4V Gen+ Carb Alpha Bravo

OIL FILTER — V6 4.3L BLOCK-MOUNT MERCRUISER/OMC/VOLVO PENTA:

V6 4.3L WITHOUT REMOTE FILTER — BLOCK-MOUNTED CONFIGURATION:
Per Wholesale Marine, Primeau's Marine, Mercury Marine, MarineEngineParts, and PowerBoatSupply documentation, OEM Mercury 35-883702K (Quicksilver 35-883702Q) is the genuine MerCruiser oil filter SPECIFICALLY for V6 4.3L 262 CID engines with the oil filter mounted directly on the engine block (NON-REMOTE configuration). This is the COMPANION filter to the GM Short filter (35-866340Q03) — that one fits everything EXCEPT this V6 block-mount configuration, while THIS filter fits ONLY the V6 4.3L block-mount applications.

⚠️ CRITICAL FITMENT — V6 4.3L FILTER MOUNTING:
MerCruiser 4.3L V6 engines have TWO oil filter mounting configurations:
1. REMOTE-MOUNT (filter on remote bracket) → use 35-866340Q03 filter
2. BLOCK-MOUNT (filter directly on engine block) → use THIS 35-883702K filter
Verify your engine configuration BEFORE ordering. Both filters are GM-style but different sizes.

FITMENT NOTE:
OEM-spec replacement Oil Filter for Mercury 35-883702K (Quicksilver 35-883702Q). ALWAYS verify the OEM part number AND filter mounting location from your engine service manual before ordering. CRITICAL: If your filter is mounted on a remote bracket (NOT directly on engine block), you need the 35-866340Q03 filter instead — NOT this one.
