This gasket is tied to the oil filter adaptor layout, so serial-based confirmation is the safest way to match the correct gasket and assembly position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace this gasket whenever the remote oil filter adaptor is removed, or when the existing gasket is leaking, compressed, torn, or no longer sealing correctly. Because current parts diagrams place it directly in the adaptor stack, renewing it during remote oil filter service is usually the right move instead of reusing the old gasket. This is a practical service inference supported by its documented location in the remote oil filter assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall 16779 only after confirming the correct MerCruiser remote oil filter diagram for the engine being serviced.
