079103121CD Volkswagen GASKET

This gasket basically creates a seal between the oil filter housing – that’s the metal part where you actually screw in the oil filter – and the engine itself. It stops oil from leaking out under pressure. It’s a pretty simple part, but critical for keeping everything sealed up. Think of it like a barrier. The oil filter housing is bolted directly to the engine block. That gasket goes between those two surfaces. It ensures oil stays inside the engine where it needs to be, circulating and lubricating everything. Without a good seal, oil would spray out, creating a mess and quickly damaging your engine. It’s really important because oil leaks are bad news. Even a small leak can cause a lot of problems over time. You’ll notice if it’s failing, typically because you'll see oil dripping, or you might smell burning oil. A failing gasket can lead to low oil pressure, which can cause serious engine damage – things like worn bearings, overheating, and ultimately, a very expensive repair. It’s a small, inexpensive part to replace, but it acts like a shield protecting a much bigger investment. We stock a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, it's one of those things that's always good to have on hand during an oil change to be safe. Long-term solution: Engine Oil Filter Housing Gasket (MPN 079103121CD) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
