The 72198WS model is part of this line, offering features such as a cellulose paper filter media and integrated valves that meet the demands of Audi and Volkswagen engines requiring precise oil filtration and pressure control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details and Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Bosch oil filter uses cellulose paper as its filtering material, providing a micron rating of 30 to effectively trap contaminants while maintaining optimal oil flow. The spin-on design simplifies replacement, and the anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during start-up. The bypass relief valve activates between 30 and 40 PSI to ensure oil continues circulating even if the filter becomes clogged. With a burst pressure rating of 200 PSI, this filter maintains structural integrity under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bosch 72198WS oil filter is compatible with various Audi and Volkswagen models, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi 90, 90 Quattro, A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, Allroad Quattro, Cabriolet, S4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Passat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is designed to meet the specific oil filtration requirements of these vehicles, ensuring proper engine protection and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Oil Filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents engine wear caused by contaminants in the oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces risk of oil starvation during cold starts with anti-drain back valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains oil pressure with bypass relief valve during filter clogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects engine components by filtering particles down to 30 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures reliable sealing with nitrile gasket to prevent leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Bosch 72198WS oil filter, ensure the engine is cool and the old filter is fully drained before removal.
