This is a Quicksilver replacement oil filter for V6 MerCruiser sterndrives whose filter sits directly on the engine block. It uses M-Pleated filter media to remove contaminants and an anti-drain back valve to help keep lubrication available at startup. The metal shell is 50% thicker than a conventional filter's. It is not for V6 engines with a remote oil filter system. It is also listed for OMC GM V-6 3.8L and 4.3L engines, replacing 502903.
Our take
The anti-drain back valve is there to help keep lubrication in place at startup and prevent dry starts. This filter is for block-mounted setups only: the maker states it is not for V6 engines with a remote oil filter system, so check how yours is plumbed first.
