Fram CH10160 Engine Oil Filter

FRAM Extra Guard Cartridge Oil Filter

The FRAM Extra Guard CH10160 is a cartridge engine oil filter built for routine oil changes at OE-recommended intervals. It uses a cellulose/synthetic blend media to help capture contaminants while supporting extended service performance in everyday driving.

Key Features

• Cartridge-style engine oil filter for compatible applications
• Cellulose/synthetic blend filter media for balanced filtration performance
• O-ring gasket material for sealing at the filter housing
• No anti-drain back valve and no bypass relief valve
• Part number CH10160 for easy identification

Detailed Description

FRAM Extra Guard is positioned as a routine-maintenance filter line for drivers who follow manufacturer oil change intervals. This CH10160 cartridge oil filter is specified for a range of Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen applications, including Audi A4, Audi A6, Audi Q5, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg models in the listed fitment. The cartridge design and blend media make it a practical choice for engines that use a housing-mounted filter element rather than a spin-on canister. The CH10160 part number is also useful when cross-checking service records or ordering by reference.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 252.004.0799, CO3000) for the same application.

What It Is Used For
