Performance & Practical Benefits

What you’ll notice most with the 8M0130540 is how steady your engine feels over time. The synthetic fiber media traps contaminants before they can recirculate, keeping your oil cleaner and protecting critical components. That extra layer of defense becomes especially valuable during long rides, stop-and-go traffic, or hot weather—situations where engine oil works the hardest.

The chrome-finished housing is tough enough to handle vibration and heat cycles without losing its seal, and the exposed nut makes the oil change process surprisingly easy. No wrestling with tools at awkward angles—just a smooth removal and a clean installation.

The extended-life M-pleat design gives you more filtration capacity without sacrificing flow. That means your engine enjoys steady lubrication even when conditions change quickly—like moving from slow street riding to highway speeds. The result is a tighter, more stable operating feel that most riders pick up on right away.
