Sierra 18-0036 Bypass Diesel Oil Filter, Replaces Volvo Penta 3582733, Fits D4 Series Engines

The Sierra 18-0036 is a bypass-style diesel oil filter engineered for the harsh marine environment, built to meet or exceed the filtration performance of the original equipment part it replaces. It is designed as a direct fitment for Volvo Penta D4 series diesel engines, including the D4-180i, D4-210, D4-225, D4-260, and D4-300 model families, where it works as the bypass filter alongside the engine's full-flow filter to provide finer, secondary oil filtration and extend engine oil life.

Construction is a heavy-wall steel canister that is epoxy coated for corrosion resistance, standing up to the moisture and salt exposure typical of marine engine rooms. The high-efficiency filter media inside meets or exceeds OE filtration standards, trapping fine contaminants that a full-flow filter alone can miss. These D4 engines call for a 15W-40 oil meeting VDS-2 or VDS-3 / API CI-4 or higher specification, with a total engine oil capacity of 12.5 liters (13.2 quarts).
