Performance & Practical Benefits

The first thing you’ll feel with a quality oil filter like the 8M0130394 is how steady the engine behaves. Oil moves through the system freely, giving you smoother throttle transitions and predictable response whether you’re cruising or climbing. Clean oil keeps internal components tight and well-lubricated, and this filter is designed to trap the fine debris that can cause premature wear.

Because the filter flows so well, you won’t deal with sluggish startups or the slight hesitation that happens when the engine is fighting restricted oil. It’s the kind of upgrade you may not notice immediately, but you’ll appreciate it every time you ride long enough to heat the engine thoroughly or when you push through warmer temperatures.

Maintenance feels easy too. The filter installs cleanly, seats securely, and removes without frustration when it’s time for a change. If you ride hard, ride often, or ride in harsh environments, this little piece of equipment makes a big difference in long-term engine health.

Why Buy OEM

There’s a reason riders stick with OEM-quality parts:

• You get filtration engineered specifically for your machine
• Fitment is exact, with no guesswork or “close enough” issues
• The materials hold up to heat, vibration, and synthetic oil formulations
• Long-term engine protection saves money compared to cheap aftermarket parts

Think of it as investing in consistency—your machine performs better, lasts longer, and gives you fewer surprises.
