Detailed Description

The Premium Guard PG8176EX is an Extended Life engine oil filter engineered around cartridge-style service requirements. Its synthetic blend media and 25 micron rating provide filtration for routine engine oil maintenance, while the listed gasket dimensions and NBR sealing material support a proper seal in the housing. This part cross-references Wix WL10056 and Pronto PO8176EX for the same application. Use PG8176EX when servicing compatible Volkswagen and Audi engines that specify this filter format. PG8176EX is a direct reference point for buyers searching for a Volkswagen Golf oil filter, Audi A3 oil filter, or Volkswagen Crafter Van oil filter.

What It Helps Address

• Oil contamination from fine wear particles.
• Restricted filtration performance from a worn filter element.
• Seal leakage at the filter housing interface.
• Incorrect filter format for cartridge-style service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine’s filter housing specification before installation and match the cartridge style, gasket dimensions, and overall height to the original part. Replace the filter during scheduled oil service and confirm the housing is clean before reassembly. For fitment searches, PG8176EX is commonly referenced for Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi A3 applications listed above.
