I would say do your own oil change. Castrol euro car and the maan filter. Do it often, maybe before the 5k kms. Make sure to do the transmission on time.
I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's
Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!
I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......
Oil service has been done every 5K since then using Liqui Moly Molygen Full Synthetic 5W-40 and Hengst filters.
The Mann filter I use in my 13 Jetta TDI is HU 719/7X. haven't had any problems with them.
No, fram is the worst possible oil filter brand. They are restrictive, cheap, Chinese crap. I've seen them come fresh out the box with gaps in the metal. I've seen videos of people cutting open un used filters and finding surface rust.
changed my oil filter that apparently collapsed with a Mann brand and it definitely worked after a month later with no light the darn oil light came back I just redid my filter and oil but it came back getting on the freeway
After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil
