Oil filter fitment can vary by engine model, production range, filter mount, thread size, and gasket size. Always confirm against your engine serial number, original filter, or Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering.

Serial Number Requirements

Always confirm your engine model and serial number against the applicable Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. Similar spin-on filters can look identical while differing in gasket diameter, bypass valve rating, or thread pitch — matching by serial number is the most reliable approach.

Service Interval

Replace at every engine oil change — never reuse an old filter. Refer to the Volvo Penta service manual for your specific engine model and serial number for oil change intervals, typically every 100–150 hours or annually, whichever comes first.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace the oil filter at every scheduled oil change, during seasonal maintenance or winterization, or any time the filter is overdue, damaged, leaking, or corroded.

Installation Notes

• Install on a cool engine
• Clean the filter mounting surface before installing the new filter
• Lightly oil the new filter gasket before threading on
• Spin on by hand until the gasket contacts the mount, then tighten to the specification in the Volvo Penta service manual
• After refilling with the correct engine oil, run the engine briefly, check for leaks, shut down, and recheck the oil level before returning to service

Technical FAQ

Q: What earlier part numbers does 3517857 replace?
A: 3517857 supersedes earlier Volvo Penta references 1266286, 418432, 430143, and 2366286 / 2366286-2. Always order by the current active OEM number.

Q: Does this filter fit both gasoline and diesel engines?
A: Yes — 3517857 is used across a wide range of both gasoline (AQ, BB series) and diesel (AD31, TAMD31, MD22, KAD32) Volvo Penta platforms. Always confirm by engine serial number and parts diagram, as similar-looking filters can differ in internal construction.

Q: How do I confirm this is the right filter for my engine?
A: Match by engine serial number and the original filter part number. If you have the original filter in hand, the part number is typically printed on the canister. Do not rely on visual comparison alone — similar spin-on filters can differ in gasket size, bypass valve pressure, and thread pitch.

Q: How often should I change the oil filter?
A: Replace the filter at every oil change — never reuse an old filter. Refer to the Volvo Penta service manual for your engine’s specific oil change interval, typically every 100–150 hours or annually.

Parts Desk Insights

This is one of the most common Volvo Penta oil filter references across the older AQ, BB, AD31, TAMD31, MD22, and KAD32 platforms. The most common issue is customers ordering the wrong filter because similar spin-on canisters can look identical while differing in gasket diameter, bypass valve rating, or thread pitch. If there’s any doubt, match by engine serial number or compare against the original filter part number printed on the canister. It’s also worth noting that this filter covers both gasoline and diesel applications — a useful detail when a customer isn’t sure which filter their engine takes.
