Where to buy

The Sierra 18-7878-1 is a short, Ford style oil filter. It is listed for most Volvo and Ford engines and is built to meet OEM specifications for marine use. The inside is epoxy coated against corrosion. Its cross references include Mercruiser 803470, OMC 502904 and Volvo 1266286-2, which helps when matching it to an older filter number.

Our take

The epoxy coating inside the can is the notable feature of this short Sierra 18-7878-1 filter. A filter in a damp engine bay is exposed to moisture, and the coating is aimed at corrosion. Check your old filter's number against the cross references.
