Wix 57210 Engine Oil Filter

WIX 57210 Engine Oil Filter Overview

The WIX 57210 is a cartridge-style engine oil filter built for Volkswagen applications that call for a metal-free lube filter with cellulose media. It supports conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils when those oils are specified by the OE vehicle manufacturer, making it a practical choice for routine service on Volkswagen Jetta, Beetle, Golf, Passat, and Crafter Van models.

With a 22 micron rating and OE service-interval guidance, this filter is suited for normal commuting as well as severe driving conditions such as stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, construction zones, and interstate travel.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s OE oil filter specification before installation and confirm the housing style matches a cartridge element.

For Volkswagen Jetta, Beetle, Golf, Passat, and Crafter Van service, follow the OE maintenance schedule and inspect the filter housing sealing surfaces during service.
