Engine Generation Note

Part 861476 is specified for the early MD22A generation only. Later MD22B, MD22C, TMD22B/C, and TAMD22B/C variants use a different oil filter. Do not select by displacement or general MD22 family name — confirm the complete engine designation and serial number before ordering.

Compatible Applications

Fitment is engine-model and serial-number specific. Confirm 861476 through the engine designation and the Volvo Penta MD22A lubrication diagram before ordering.

• MD22A
• MD22L-A
• TMD22A

Not for: MD22B, MD22C, TMD22B, TMD22C, TAMD22B, TAMD22C — these variants require a different filter.

Serial Number Fitment Notice

The MD22 family used more than one oil filter depending on engine version and production generation. Confirm the complete Volvo Penta engine designation and serial number before ordering. The filter dimensions above can help with identification but should not be used as the primary fitment method.

Superseded Part Numbers

• 861476 — current Volvo Penta service number
• 859746 — previous Volvo Penta number

Aftermarket Cross-References

The following aftermarket numbers are commonly associated with this application. Verify against the engine designation before substitution:

• MANN W920/11
• Sierra 18-8701
• Fleetguard LF3643
• MAHLE OC269
• WIX WL7212
• Perkins 2654409

Service Interval

Replace the oil filter at every scheduled engine-oil change, whenever the oil is drained for any reason, or following contamination of the lubrication system. Follow the Volvo Penta maintenance schedule for the specific engine model. A restricted or overdue filter can reduce oil flow and allow contaminated oil to remain in circulation.

When This Part Needs Replacement

• Scheduled engine-oil service interval reached
• Engine oil changed for any reason
• Lubrication system contamination
• Filter housing or seal area showing leakage
• Recommissioning when service history is unknown

Installation Notes

Remove the old filter and confirm its sealing gasket comes away with the filter — a gasket left on the filter head will cause an oil leak immediately after startup. Clean the filter-head sealing surface. Lightly lubricate the new filter gasket with clean engine oil, install according to the Volvo Penta service procedure, and fill the engine with the specified oil. Run the engine and inspect the filter area carefully for leakage before returning to service.

Parts Desk Insight

The critical fitment point here is the engine generation, not the displacement. Volvo Penta specifies 861476 for the early MD22A group — MD22A, MD22L-A, and TMD22A. Later MD22 variants use a different filter, and they can look very similar on the outside. If the engine records show 859746, that’s the earlier number for the same filter — order 861476. The old-gasket check is the most commonly skipped installation step and the most reliable cause of a post-service oil leak: always verify the gasket came off with the old filter before threading in the new one.
