Additional Notes
· The Merc 35-802885T has a twin sister as the Quicksilver 35-802885Q. It should be an identical filter only with a white canister.
· The Pennzoil Z3 filter is the cross reference to the Merc 35-802885T. The outside baseplate is exactly the same as a Fram Extra Guard. If you are using the Z3 filter, expect it to be identical to the PH6606 filter (smaller version of the PH5).
· Baldwin also has a cross-reference to the Merc 35-802885T (short canister). It is the Baldwin B360. It is higher priced (about $9) than the Baldwin 1428 that is compared here.
· One source on the web for Baldwin filters is
