Bosch Engine Oil Filter Element P/N:3581
Bosch 3979 engine oil filter element for the 2009-2014 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles screens contaminants out of the engine oil as it circulates.
Dark, gritty oil at a change or an oil pressure warning light can mean the engine oil filter element is overdue. A low oil level, a worn oil pump or a faulty pressure sensor can be behind a warning light too, so find the cause before buying a replacement element.
It is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models, including the 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat V6 3.6L. Both of those cars take one element, and this listing is a single one. If your car is not named here, look up its year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
