It is designed to trap contaminants from engine oil while maintaining proper oil flow, helping protect internal engine components during operation. The filter housing is constructed of plastic and threads onto the engine block using an M16 x 1.5 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is specified for a range of V6 4.3L (262 cid \/ 263 cid \/ 264 cid \/ 265 cid \/ 266 cid \/ 267 cid) engine variants, including 175 hp, 185 hp, 205 hp, 262 Mag EFI, and the 4.3L \/ LX \/ LH \/ LXH, 4.3L, 4.3L EFI, and 4.3L MPI engine families. These engines take 4.3 liters (4.5 quarts) of 25W-40 FC-W rated oil when serviced with this filter. Note that V6 engines equipped with the oil filter relocation option require a different filter, the 18-7824-2, rather than the 18-7879-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra 18-7879-1 cross-references directly to OEM number 35-883702, making it straightforward to identify as the correct replacement filter when servicing eligible V6 4.3L marine engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7879-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e M16 x 1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282359829, 030999323293\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross-Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35-883702\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Oil Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3 Liters \/ 4.5 Quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Oil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25W-40 FC-W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e175 hp V6 262 \/ 4.3L (1987)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e185 hp V6 262 \/ 4.3L (1985 -
