03N 115 562 B – Oil Filter (Priced Each)

Description

The 03N115562B Oil Filter is an OEM-quality filtration unit engineered to trap and remove harmful contaminants from engine oil in compatible Volkswagen and Audi engines. This 03N115562B Oil Filter captures abrasive metallic particles, carbon deposits, and combustion byproducts before they circulate through precision engine components. Consequently, it plays a direct role in protecting bearings, camshafts, and oil galleries from accelerated wear and long-term damage.

This filter meets factory specifications for flow rate, filtration efficiency, and burst pressure resistance.  Therefore, selecting the 03N115562B Oil Filter at every service interval ensures your engine receives factory-level protection and reliable long-term performance.

Why It Matters

Engine oil degrades and accumulates contaminants with every mile of operation. Fine metal particles shed from bearing surfaces, carbon soot from combustion blow-by, and oxidized oil residue all enter the oil supply during normal use. If these contaminants are not captured efficiently, however, they circulate as an abrasive mixture through tight engine clearances.

Consequently, a clogged or low-quality filter can trigger the bypass valve, allowing unfiltered oil to reach critical components. Moreover, inadequate filtration accelerates wear on turbocharger bearings, which depend entirely on clean, pressurized oil for lubrication. Therefore, replacing the oil filter at every scheduled service interval with a quality unit like this is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend engine life.

Signs of Failure

Replace your oil filter immediately if you notice any of the following conditions:

• Dark, gritty, or metallic-smelling engine oil observed during a routine dipstick check.

• An illuminated oil pressure warning light appearing on the instrument cluster.

• Unusual ticking, knocking, or lifter noise from the engine, particularly at cold startup.

• Visible oil leaks developing around the filter housing or its sealing O-ring surface.

• Reduced engine performance or increased oil consumption between service intervals.

• The manufacturer’s recommended oil service interval has been exceeded.

Key Features

• OE Part Number: 03N 115 562 B

• Function: Removes contaminants from engine oil to protect internal engine components.

• Filtration: High-efficiency filter media captures particles that cause premature engine wear.

• Fitment: Direct OE-style replacement requiring no modifications for installation.

• Service Benefit: Maintains proper oil pressure and extends overall engine service life.

Service Notes

Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering. Replace this filter at every oil change interval without exception. Additionally, always pair the filter replacement with the correct grade and specification of engine oil for your specific application.

Compatibility

Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering. This filter is primarily used on EA288 and related TDI diesel engines.
