Detailed Description

VAICO V40-0087 is an aftermarket engine oil filter insert engineered for cartridge-style oil filter systems. The listed dimensions and insert construction support fitment across many GM platforms, including Buick Regal, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, and Saab 9-3 applications. This part number, V40-0087, is used across a broad range of vehicles from 2000 through 2017, making it a practical replacement choice when the original service part is specified as an insert element.

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

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or contaminated oil filter insert.
• Restoring proper oil filtration in cartridge-style housings.
• Addressing service intervals that call for element-only replacement.
• Supporting maintenance on vehicles listed with cap and seal or cap and O-ring notes.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the housing style and service notes before installation, since fitment includes element-only and cap-and-seal applications. Match the dimensions and part number V40-0087 to the original specification before service. Confirm the vehicle listing exactly, especially on Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, and Saab 9-3 applications.
