Audi A4, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne Oil Filter Cartridge
- 11 mar 2016
When we think of luxury sedans and SUVs, their shared attributes include powerful engines, exquisite fit and finish, comfort, road-going and off-pavement competency, and a certain polished, smooth elegance. When we think of German automotive engineering, we think of efficient, precise design and production, superior materials and a superior performance. It will come as no surprise, then, that all of these attributes can be shared by vehicles as diverse as the 2005 Audi A4, 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2016 Porsche Cayenne. These high-end and respected vehicles now share a parent company and a range of siblings who have joined the family. They have also shared a 3.0 or 3.6-liter V6 by Audi or Volkswagen for some time. A V6 is inherently a smooth, balanced engine, and it is typically more fuel efficient than a V8 while still offering great performance. But the motoring public always yearns for more power and efficiency. Through the years, engineers have worked to increase horsepower and torque in these engines for better performance and load carrying and towing ability. Thankfully, today's examples are more up to the task than ever before. The 2016 Audi SQ5 SUV, which utilizes a supercharged 3.0-liter generating 354 hp and 346 pound-feet of torque, has been praised for its impressive acceleration and handling. For 2016, the Cayenne now has a base 3.6-liter with 300 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. The 2015 all-wheel-drive Touareg has as standard a 3.6-liter engine producing 280 hp and 265 pound-feet of torque. More performance and increased torque requires more protection, and a basic but critical form of protection is found in regular oil changes and superior oil filtration. Stepping up to that task is the K&N Pro Series PS-7015 replacement oil filter.
The PS-7015 is a cartridge style filter designed to fit into the engine's built-in housing. To ensure a good seat, the filter utilizes two alkyl acrylate copolymer gaskets that are replaced at each installation. Its high-volume pleated media allows for increased flow and superior particle capture. With the reduced restriction offered by this filter, the engine oil can efficiently stand up to the demands of a hard-working V6 under load or hard acceleration. Engineered to handle all grades of synthetic, conventional and blended motor oils, the PA-7015 will also handle extended oil change intervals. Although the "Pro" in this filter's name means it was originally designed for use by professional installers and service providers, the vehicle owner can certainly purchase it and of have his mechanic install it, or do so himself.
