Genuine VW Passat 2.0 TDI Oil Filter 2015-2020 (03N115562B)

Genuine Oil Filters are designed with a large surface area for high levels of dirt absorption, resulting in extremely efficient cleaning and engine protection between services.

The fine filter mesh removes even the smallest particles of dirt and contaminants. A Genuine Oil Filter offers low flow resistance to reduce pressure on the oil pump and save fuel.

A highly efficient and reliable seal, specific to your Volkswagen, protects against fuel getting in to the oil circulation, particularly on short journeys. The exact fit to your Volkswagen’s engine prevents oil leaks and ensures no unfiltered oil gets in to your engine, which could cause damage to components. There is a high tear resistance so filtered contaminants are safely retained. The anti drain valve ensures that when you start your Volkswagen, the engine is immediately supplied with oil, so the oil filter doesn’t run dry.

Disadvantages Of A Lower Quality Oil Filter

If an oil filter doesn’t fit your Volkswagen properly and its seal is not specifically designed for your vehicle, there is a higher risk of oil leaks and unfiltered oil could get in to your engine, causing damage to components.

A smaller surface area and different mesh quality of the filter mean it cleans impurities less efficiently and doesn’t remove harmful contaminants from the engine oil, reducing engine protection between services. Tears can occur more easily, allowing unfiltered oil into the engine causing serious wear. The filter’s higher oil flow resistance can lead to increased fuel consumption. The anti drain valve may not operate as efficiently, resulting in the oil filter emptying and no oil being supplied to the engine immediately when you start your Volkswagen, causing increased engine wear.
