Detailed Description

WIX 57083 is an engine oil filter cartridge made for OE-recommended service intervals on select Volkswagen and Audi engines. Its 5.580-inch height, 2.800-inch outer diameter, and closed-top cartridge style support proper fitment in applications that use a metal-free lube filter. The filter media is cellulose, and the 20-micron rating helps remove fine wear particles from the oil stream during everyday driving and severe-duty conditions such as dirt roads, construction sites, and frequent stop-and-go use. This part cross-references FRAM CH9461 and Mann-Filter HU 719/7 X for the same application.

Common Problems It Helps Address

• Excess dirt and wear particles circulating through engine oil
• Reduced filtration performance during short-trip and stop-and-go driving
• Oil service intervals that require an OE-style cartridge filter
• Maintenance needs on Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Passat, and Audi A3 applications
• Filter replacement for engines specified to use WIX 57083

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval and verify the vehicle uses the correct cartridge-style housing before installation. Confirm the OE reference number and engine application for your Volkswagen or Audi model, especially on 2001-2014 Jetta, Golf, Passat, Beetle, CC, EuroVan, A3, A3 Quattro, and TT Quattro listings. Always follow the vehicle service manual for oil type, torque values, and inspection procedures.

Quality Assurance

WIX cartridge oil filters are specified for OEM oil and filter change intervals and are engineered for normal and severe driving conditions. The 57083 follows WIX application data for the listed Volkswagen and Audi fitments and is built to meet the service demands of OE-recommended maintenance schedules.
