Description
The USP Motorsports Cool Flow Aluminum Oil Filter Housing and Filter Kit is engineered to replace the fragile OEM plastic housing found on Volkswagen and Audi 1.8T and 2.0T Gen3 TSI engines. This billet aluminum housing offers unmatched strength, longevity, and thermal performance over the stock unit, ensuring your engine oil is properly filtered and cooled during every drive.
As the lifeblood of your engine, oil must be clean and well-regulated in temperature to prevent premature wear and damage. However, OEM plastic filter housings are known to crack and degrade over time, especially after repeated oil changes. The USP Cool Flow housing not only solves this issue with durable billet aluminum construction but also introduces integrated cooling fins to help dissipate heat from the oil as it circulates, contributing to better overall engine performance.
This complete service kit includes everything you need to confidently perform an oil change—OEM-spec filter, O-ring, and USP’s precision-machined aluminum housing—giving you peace of mind every time you open the hood.
Key Features:
-
Billet Aluminum Construction – Stronger and more durable than the OEM plastic housing, reducing the risk of cracking during oil changes.
-
Integrated Cooling Fins – Improves oil temperature regulation by increasing surface area for heat dissipation.
