Overview
Volkswagen Golf oil filter is designed to ensure optimal oil flow and filtration within the engine.
For this reason, Volkswagen specifies this filter to maintain engine efficiency and reliability.
The filter regulates oil flow while trapping contaminants generated during engine operation.
As a result, internal engine components receive cleaner and more consistent lubrication.
Vehicle Compatibility and Applications
This oil filter is compatible with Volkswagen Golf models produced from approximately 2006 onward. This OE oil filter is used across Volkswagen petrol platforms, including Golf and regionally branded models such as Gol.
These vehicles commonly use petrol and diesel engines.
The most common application includes the 1.6L and 2.0L petrol engines, as well as 2.0L diesel variants.
In addition, the lubrication system shares architecture with other Volkswagen and Audi small car platforms.
Material and Structural Design
The filter housing uses corrosion-resistant steel material.
Therefore, the exterior maintains strength under oil pressure and temperature changes.
A precision-threaded metal base ensures secure installation.
At the same time, the sealing surface supports stable contact with the engine block.
This structure ensures consistent fitment during repeated service intervals.
Filtration Stability and Engine Protection
Stable oil circulation is crucial for engine protection.
For this reason, the filter supports consistent oil pressure during cold starts and high-load operation.
As a result, wear on bearings, pistons, and timing components is minimized.
Moreover, effective filtration helps protect turbocharged engine systems in diesel variants.
This balance supports predictable engine performance during city and highway driving.
OE Reference Integration
Volkswagen assigns OE number 06A115561 to this oil filter.
This OE reference corresponds to original Volkswagen specifications for small and mid-size car engines.
It is used across various petrol and diesel engine applications, including Volkswagen Golf.
However, engine-specific verification remains recommended before installation.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidance
Engine oil quality degrades over time and mileage.
Therefore, technicians replace the oil filter during every scheduled oil change.
Volkswagen service schedules commonly recommend replacement every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.
As a result, regular replacement supports long-term engine reliability.
Service intervals should always follow official Volkswagen maintenance documentation.
Installation and Fitment Notes
This oil filter installs directly onto factory mounting threads.
Moreover, original sealing surfaces remain unchanged during installation.
No modification to surrounding components is required.
Consequently, installation remains straightforward for professional technicians.
