Sierra 18-7916 Oil Filter - Replaces OMC 434839 - for Johnson/Evinrude 9.9, 15, 70 HP Outboards

The Sierra 18-7916 is a 4 cycle outboard oil filter built for Johnson/Evinrude outboard motors. It uses a heavy-wall steel canister that is epoxy coated for corrosion resistance, giving it durability in the saltwater and freshwater environments where outboard engines operate. An anti-drain-back valve keeps oil in the filter between starts so the engine gets immediate lubrication on startup instead of running dry for the first few seconds. The filter media is engineered to meet or exceed OE filtration performance, trapping contaminants to protect internal engine components over the life of the oil change interval.

The 18-7916 is a direct cross-reference replacement for OMC/Evinrude part number 434839 and is sized for a 3/4 inch x 16 NPT thread (19.1mm x 406.4mm). It is the correct filter for Johnson/Evinrude 9.9 HP (1995-2001) and 15 HP (1995-2001) outboards using 10W40 synthetic blend FC-W oil with a 1272 ml / 43 oz crankcase capacity, and for the 70 HP (1998-2000) outboard using the same 10W40 synthetic blend FC-W oil with a 4.5 L / 4.8 Qt crankcase capacity.
