T4,T5,G3 Oil Filter - 2.8 VR6 + 3.2 VR6 (AES,BDL)

This replacement oil filter is designed specifically for Volkswagen VR6 petrol engines, ensuring clean engine oil circulation and long-term engine protection. It is suitable for T4 Transporters fitted with the 2.8 VR6 (AES engine code) and T5 Transporters fitted with the 3.2 VR6 (BDL engine code) within the specified production years.

The oil filter plays a critical role in removing harmful contaminants such as metal particles, carbon deposits, and sludge from the engine oil. Clean oil is essential for protecting vital engine components including bearings, camshafts, timing chains, and hydraulic lifters. A blocked or degraded oil filter can restrict oil flow, reduce lubrication efficiency, and accelerate engine wear.

Manufactured as a good quality replacement, this filter is built to the correct specifications for VR6 engines, ensuring proper oil flow and filtration performance. It allows for quick and straightforward installation during routine servicing or maintenance.

This oil filter is sold individually, with one filter required per engine.
