The 06A 115 561 B oil filter is an iconic component for many of the most popular Volkswagen engines, particularly the robust 1.8T and 2.0L petrol units that powered a generation of beloved models. If you are maintaining a classic VW or a high-mileage daily driver, choosing a genuine OEM filter is the most effective way to ensure long-term engine health.

At Volkswagen Parts US, we provide authentic, factory-approved parts that offer the perfect balance of filtration efficiency and oil flow, keeping your engine running exactly as it did when it left the assembly line.

Product Overview

The 06A 115 561 B is a classic spin-on style oil filter designed for longevity and reliability.

• Type: Spin-on oil filter.

• Classification: Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).

• Function: Filters out harmful debris, carbon deposits, and metallic wear particles from your engine oil.

• Importance: This filter features a specific internal bypass valve and anti-drainback valve, which are critical for protecting the cylinder head and turbocharger components during startup.

Compatibility & Fitment

This filter is a staple for many legendary Volkswagen platforms.

• Compatible Models: Volkswagen Golf (Mk4), Bora, Passat (B5), Beetle, and various Audi/Skoda/Seat applications of the same era.

• Engine Suitability: Primarily for the 1.8T (20-valve) and 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol engines.

• Verification: Compatibility can vary depending on specific engine codes. To guarantee 100% fitment, please provide your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) when ordering. Our expert team will cross-reference this to ensure you get the right filter for your specific engine.

How It Works

As your engine runs, the oil pump forces lubricant through the 06A 115 561 B filter. The high-capacity media traps contaminants, ensuring they don’t return to the engine to act as abrasives. The integrated anti-drainback valve is particularly important; it keeps a small amount of oil in the filter housing, ensuring that critical components receive lubrication the split-second you turn the key, significantly reducing start-up wear.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Engine Longevity: Protects your bearings, camshafts, and turbochargers from abrasive particles.

• Reliable Cold Starts: The anti-drainback valve prevents oil from flowing back into the sump, ensuring immediate lubrication upon starting.

• Maintains Oil Quality: Captures impurities efficiently, extending the life of your fresh engine oil.

• Consistent Flow: Designed to meet the pressure requirements of your specific engine, preventing oil starvation.

Build Quality & Engineering

Unlike budget aftermarket alternatives, the genuine 06A 115 561 B is built to strict VAG specifications:

• Robust Housing: Thick, high-strength steel casing prevents denting or rupture under pressure.

• High-Efficiency Media: Engineered to filter effectively throughout the entire service interval.

• Reliable Valves: The internal relief valve and anti-drainback valve are built to exact pressure tolerances, a feature often missing in cheaper, generic filters.

Installation & Maintenance

• Service Interval: We recommend replacing this filter during every oil change, typically every 10,000 miles or annually, as specified in your service handbook.

• Installation Tip: Ensure the old gasket has been removed from the engine block. Lubricate the rubber seal of the new filter with a light coating of fresh engine oil before tightening it by hand (usually 3/4 of a turn after the seal touches the block).

• Professional Fitting: If you are unsure about the procedure, consult your service manual or a professional mechanic to ensure the seal is secure and the filter is properly seated.

Durability & Storage

To maintain the performance of the rubber seals and internal valves, store the 06A 115 561 B in its original, sealed box. Our warehouse management ensures that all our stock is stored in a climate-controlled, dry environment, so you receive a part that is in factory-fresh condition.
