Product Details

Bosch Workshop Oil Filters are built for workshop-grade maintenance on modern European vehicles. The 72254WS uses cellulose paper media and a bypass relief valve to help maintain oil circulation when the filter reaches restriction, while the 200 burst pressure specification supports durability in demanding engine environments. With a 4.84-inch height and 2.992-inch outside diameter, this Bosch oil filter is sized for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications. The Bosch Workshop Oil Filter 72254WS is a direct service part for drivers looking for a replacement oil filter for Audi Q5, Audi A4, Volkswagen Tiguan, and other covered models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine wear caused by circulating dirt and debris
• Reduced oil cleanliness during scheduled maintenance
• Oil flow restriction from a loaded filter element
• Premature engine stress from poor filtration performance
• Service issues on Audi and Volkswagen models requiring this filter size

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the thread size, gasket sealing surface, and filter dimensions before installation. The Bosch 72254WS uses an M27x1.5 inside thread size and a spin-on design, so proper hand-tightening and a clean sealing surface are important for leak-free service. Verify vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering.
