079198405A Volkswagen FILTERELEM

This thing basically cleans the oil that circulates through your engine. It traps dirt, metal shavings, and all sorts of other nasty stuff that builds up over time. Think of it like a strainer for your engine's lifeblood. It lets the clean oil through, but holds back everything you don't want running around inside. It sits right in the oil flow path. Oil gets pumped from the oil pan, goes through the filter element, then continues circulating to lubricate all the engine’s moving parts. It’s a fairly simple component, but absolutely crucial. You can usually find them tucked away near the engine block, sometimes a little hard to get to depending on your vehicle. Well, clean oil is vital. Dirty oil is like sandpaper inside your engine—it causes wear and tear on everything. The filter element keeps that abrasive stuff from damaging critical parts. If it gets clogged, the oil can’t flow properly, leading to reduced lubrication and potentially serious engine damage. You’ll notice if one is really overdue because your oil pressure light might come on, or you might hear more engine noise than usual. Regularly replacing this filter is one of the best things you can do to extend the life of your engine. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and have filters for just about everything. It’s a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a lot of money in the long run. What sets us apart: Filter Element (MPN 079198405A) includes a 12-month warranty!
