Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin B7452 engine oil filter is engineered to meet the specifications required by Audi and Volkswagen vehicles such as the A3, A4, A5, A6, Beetle, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, and TT models, including their Quattro and allroad versions. Its integral gasket ensures a tight seal to prevent leaks, while the front end check valve helps maintain consistent oil pressure during engine start-up.

This filter replaces Volkswagen part numbers 6J115403C and 6J115561B, as well as WIX 57561, making it a direct replacement for routine maintenance.
