Vorsprung Autowerk Oil Filter Housing Conversion

Break Up With Your Cartridge Filter

Audi decided your oil filter should live inside a plastic housing that turns into a science experiment after a few thousand heat cycles: warped, cracked, and occasionally weeping oil onto your driveway like a bad breakup. The cartridge filter inside doesn't help matters either, its anti-drain back valve eventually taps out, so your engine spends a few extra seconds every cold start wondering where all its oil pressure went. The Vorsprung Autowerk Oil Filter Housing Conversion ends that relationship for good.

No more chasing leaks around the housing. Convert once, and never think about it again (we mean that in a good way).

Built to End the Cartridge Era

Rather than patching the factory cartridge design, we converted it entirely. This kit swaps your OEM cartridge housing for a CNC-machined billet aluminum unit that runs a proven spin-on canned filter instead, the same filter technology trusted across nearly every other engine platform for a reason.

CNC-Machined 6061 Aluminum Housing

Machined from solid 6061 aluminum rather than molded plastic, this housing resists the heat cycling that warps and cracks the factory unit. Uses all the OEM hardware and gaskets are included, so the whole conversion goes on without hunting for a single bolt.

A Fresh Anti-Drain Back Valve, Every Oil Change

Because the valve lives inside the spin-on filter can itself, you get a brand new anti-drain back valve every single oil change. No more wondering whether a tired valve left your engine starving for oil pressure on startup.

Direct Bolt-On, No Engine Mods

This conversion bolts straight to your factory mounting points and accepts widely available spin-on filters, including Mann W719/45 and Hengst H14W30, so future oil changes stay simple at any shop.
