WIX WL7503 Oil Filter for Volkswagen and Audi

The WIX WL7503 engine oil filter is built for Volkswagen and Audi applications that call for dependable oil filtration at OE-recommended service intervals.

Detailed Description

WIX engineered the WL7503 for drivers who need consistent oil filtration in everyday and severe-duty conditions such as stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, construction zones, and interstate driving. The filter is rated to trap fine contaminants while maintaining the capacity and efficiency expected for routine maintenance on Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Taos, and Audi A3 service applications. Its flexible silicone anti-drain back valve helps keep oil in the filter when the engine is off, which supports quicker oil pressure on restart.

Use the WIX WL7503 when servicing vehicles that specify OE-style spin-on filtration and the original equipment part number 04E 115 561 family. The part number WL7503 is also commonly searched as a replacement oil filter for Volkswagen and Audi maintenance intervals.
