This oil filter (part number SM 111) is a spin-on filter with a standard capacity. It is the "classic" solution for legendary European engines of the 1980s and 1990s, ensuring stable lubrication system operation in engines with high oil pressure requirements.

Key Features
Type: Spin-on oil filter.

Applicability: BMW gasoline engines (M10, M20) and a wide range of VAG engines.

Valves: Equipped with a reliable bypass valve (to bypass the filter in extreme cold) and a high-quality anti-drainback valve.

Housing: Corrosion-resistant metal housing with a non-slip coating for easy installation.

Model Compatibility
Part number SM 111 covers key generations of European best-selling cars:

BMW (M10, M20 engines until 1991):

3 Series (E30): 316, 318i, 320i, 325i.

5 Series (E28, E34): 518i, 520i, 525i.

Volkswagen:

Golf II, III, IV, V: Models with 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 engines (including the legendary 8-valve engines).

Passat B3, B4, B5: Popular petrol versions.

Jetta / Vento / Bora.

Audi:

Audi 80/100: 1.8, 2.0 engines.

Audi A3, A4, A6: Early generations with corresponding displacements.

Product Advantages
High filtration efficiency: The multi-layer filter element retains both large wear particles and microscopic carbon deposits.

Start protection: The anti-drainback valve prevents dry starts, keeping oil in the engine channels after long periods of inactivity.

Heat Resistance: The gasket and sealants retain their properties even under prolonged overheating, typical of older engines in traffic jams.

Precise Compliance: Thread parameters and valve opening pressures strictly correspond to the specifications of original BMW and VAG parts of the time.
