Ive got a 2016 Merc 115hp XS 4 stroke that Im going to do the service to myself this year. Serial #2B384054. I popped of the hood and the oil filter that the dealer installed at my 20 hr service is a Quicksilver 35-8M00651. Im not sure if its cheaper to buy the oil service "kit" or by the components separately. The kits I found for this motor all come with a Mercury oil filter, not a Quicksilver. The oil filter number for the Mercury oil filter that come with the kit is 35-8M0065104. Are this 2 filters the same? If I do by the kit, it looks like Im going to have to buy a extra quart of oil because the kit comes with 5 quarts and this motor takes 5.2 quarts. I just want to make sure I get the right filter as there are alot of misleading info on some websites.
Thanks!
