Performance & Practical Benefits

The 8M0130408 Oil Filter Element gives your engine a cleaner, smoother flow of oil, and you can feel the difference when you ride. Your machine runs steadier, especially during long climbs or high-RPM bursts. The filtration media traps microscopic grit, carbon, dust, and metal particles before they cycle through your engine again—something that can make a real impact on longevity.

The high-flow design ensures your oil gets where it needs to go quickly, even during cold starts or heavy throttle transitions. That means fewer dry moments, reduced internal wear, and a more confident feel every time you start the engine. Whether you’re crossing a muddy creek bed or logging miles on the road, this filter helps keep things tight, smooth, and predictable.

Installation is simple and straightforward. It slips into place cleanly and holds its seal well, so you won’t be fighting with leaking gaskets or awkward fitment. It’s designed to feel like the right part because it is the right part.
