This is a classic water-cooled Volkswagen filter.
It fits 1975-1996 Rabbit, Jetta, Golf, Scirocco, Passat and Vanagon, and the Porsche 924. It is not a GM or Jeep filter, even though the 3/4-16 thread lets it screw onto them.

What it is

RK241 crosses to FRAM PH2870A, Purolator L20252 and WIX 51342, the filter on the 1.5 to 2.0L water-cooled VW four-cylinders from the first Rabbit through the Mk3 Golf and Jetta. It has a higher bypass setting than the similar-looking Ford / Chrysler can (RK195).

Confirmed by two filter makers' published specs: Thread 3/4-16 UNF, anti-drainback valve. We leave out any dimension the catalogues disagree on, rather than guess.

Vehicle compatibility

Every row below is listed for this filter by two or more independent filter makers' catalogues. Where the catalogues disagreed, we used only the years they share or left the row out.

What this filter does not fit

This is the part that stops you buying twelve of the wrong filter.

No GM four-cylinders and no Jeep. Neither FRAM's nor WIX's list for this filter includes any GM 2.5L "Iron Duke" or Jeep 2.5L / 4.0L application.
Late VW / Audi: check first. 1998+ 1.8T, VR6, TDI and the cartridge-housing engines are not on WIX's list. Many 2006+ VW / Audi engines use a cartridge element.
Not interchangeable with RK195. It is the same thread and nearly the same can as the Ford / Chrysler PH3600, but the bypass valve setting is different. Use the one listed for your engine.
