There's 184 cross referenced oil filters you can use for the GM 4.3 Litre Mercruiser engine. Do not tighten with the oil wrench, only hand tighten. I always use the larger oil filters because it is without any doubt, better oil flow. Always oil the new gasket on the new oil filter and screw it back onto the 4.3 litre engine..... again, hand tighten.
The dealership gave me this smaller filter. I am going to go back to the bigger one in the spring. Thanks for watching our video on how to change the engine oil in a 4.3 Mercruiser boat engine, hope it helped you out. BTW this job up by our way it a $210.00 job!...Crazy!
Thanks for the great video. My understanding is that this is a 4.3 liter engine. And yet you are measuring 4 and a 1/2 quarts of oil. Should it not be 4.3 liiters of oil?
The manufacturer specs are 4 1/2 quarts. You should also consult the owner's manual for your boat it you are unsure on your application. Hope the video helped you to change the oil on your boat.
Oddly enough 4.3 liters is 4.54 quarts. So it's basically the same but I agree with the others and typically the displacement isn't how much oil it takes.

Omg I needed this video. I just got a boat, and I'm trying to learn all this stuff myself. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Do you happen to have the P/N for the deeper filter?
Here is a link to the Sierra oil filter that came off of my 4.3 Mercruiser engine. amzn.to/3ZUrGtU

Hey thanks man! Was struggling to figure out where all the parts are!!
Thank you for watching out video that shows you how to change the oil on a 4.3 Mercruiser boat engine.
Do you happen to have the manual for this engine?
I do not. You might be able to find one online.
Have the same engine. I have a drain plug under the oil pan no pump needed
I do too, but this method was actually super easy and no mess.
Thanks for the great video.

4.3 liter is the engine displacement bro
C'mon man. If that really is your understanding, do not attempt any maintenance of your own.
