Engine Compatibility

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Mercury and MerCruiser oil pan components can vary by engine family, block style, production year, and serial-number range. Always verify 14257 against the engine serial number before ordering.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the oil pan reinforcement if it is bent, cracked, corroded, missing, or no longer supports the oil pan mounting area correctly. It is also commonly checked during oil pan gasket replacement, oil pan removal, or lower engine service.
Installation Notes
Inspect the oil pan, gasket surface, fasteners, and surrounding mounting area before installation. Clean all sealing surfaces and follow Mercury service procedures for torque sequence and gasket placement. Do not reuse damaged or distorted reinforcement hardware.

Parts Desk Insight
Oil pan parts can look simple, but small differences in pan design and mounting hardware can affect fit. Matching by serial number and parts diagram is the safest way to avoid gasket leaks or incorrect hardware during installation.
