OEM Volkswagen Oil Filters Online

Without the oil filter, your Volkswagen vehicle's engine, oil pump, and other parts would quickly wear out. That's because the oil filter removes impurities left over following the production process, as well as any pollutants that have built up in your engine.

There are many factors when it comes to choosing your oil filter, though. There's the filter medium, which can be paper or synthetic fiber. The flow rate matters, as well. A full flow filter can trap particulates as small as 25 microns in size, while low flow filters feature a secondary media that can capture contaminants between 5 and 10 microns.

Eventually, though, your oil filter will get clogged or wear out. When that happens, the contaminants can begin to build up in your engine. That wears parts out, in addition to making your engine sluggish.

How to Spot a Bad Oil Filter

The good news is that the signs of a failing oil filter are easy to recognize. They include:

• Low oil pressure
• Dirtier exhaust emissions
• Metallic noises coming from the engine
• Engine sputters

Genuine Volkswagen Oil Filters Work Best

The best way to avoid these problems is to change your oil filter regularly. Your owner's manual has your recommended maintenance schedule in it, but you should plan on replacing your oil filter every other time you change your oil. When you do buy a new oil filter, insist on installing the best one for your vehicle. That means a Volkswagen oil filter, since it ensures that you get the tight gasket seal and correct threading that you need for a secure fit.
