Fel-Pro 72396 is an oil filter adapter gasket built to seal the joint in the engine oil filtration circuit, helping stop oil leaks where the adapter meets the engine and supporting proper oil pressure after service. This application-specific replacement is a smart repair choice for many Audi and Volkswagen 2.0T-era platforms, along with select Porsche Macan applications, because it uses repair-focused sealing construction instead of a generic cut gasket.

Fel-Pro 72396 Features:

• Application-specific design matches the sealing location for the oil filter adapter, helping the replacement sit correctly during installation.
• Molded rubber sealing material is selected for exposure to engine oil, heat, and underhood weathering.
• Rigid-carrier construction helps control compression at the sealing surface and reduces the risk of over-tightening during repair.
• Engineered for real-world service conditions, including imperfect sealing surfaces that can make oil adapter leaks difficult to stop.
• Meets or exceeds OE specifications for the intended applications, supporting a dependable repair without changing the adapter design.

Use this gasket when removing the oil filter adapter for leak repair, oil system service, or related maintenance. Clean the mating surfaces and follow the vehicle service procedure so the molded seal can compress evenly.
