Description

The 04E 115 561T filter removes contaminants from engine oil as it circulates through the lubrication system. During normal engine operation, oil can collect fine metal particles, carbon deposits, and other abrasive material. Effective filtration helps keep these particles from repeatedly circulating through critical engine components.

This replacement oil filter is priced and sold individually. It is designed for select 1.4L Volkswagen and Audi applications requiring this filter specification.

Clean engine oil is essential for lubricating moving internal components and helping manage operating temperatures. As oil travels through the engine, it supports parts such as bearings, camshafts, and timing components. Contaminated oil can accelerate normal component wear and reduce the effectiveness of the lubrication system.

Replacing the oil filter at every scheduled oil change helps maintain clean oil circulation. A new filter also supports proper oil flow by replacing a filter element that may become restricted as it captures debris over time.

Signs an Oil Filter May Need Service

Oil filters are routine maintenance parts and should be replaced according to the vehicle’s specified service interval. Inspect the lubrication system if you notice:

  • An oil-pressure warning light.

  • Unusual engine noise associated with low oil pressure.

  • Visible oil residue around the filter housing.

  • Engine oil that appears heavily contaminated during service.

  • An overdue oil-change interval.

  • Evidence of incorrect or damaged filter installation.
