just changed oil tonight... Mobil 1 0W-40 (VW 502.00 approved) along with a Mobil 1 M1-205 filter... It's my second one, no issues with the first one...
Just changed the oil in my 08 Jetta. went to Advance Auto parts and picked up 6 quarts of Mobile 1 0W 40 and a Fram oil filter.
I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.
Filters, I'm parcial towards Mann products, if you can find them. Never a problem with Wix.
My local NAPA always has my oil filter in stock. It's a good quality WIX filter.
have used them with excellent results 90k on my 2003 jetta 1.8T only castrol 5W-40 syntec and mobile 1 filters. my engine is as clean as new on the inside. they filter down to 5 micron or so. also if you look inside of the mobile 1 filter it will have a valve or check ball like the factory uses.
I also change it every 3,000- 3,500 miles and use the Fram Tough Guard oil filter. it's all i have and i gotta keep it clean.
The good news is that the Dodge dealer I got it from changed the oil & filter; the bad news is that they used basic Valvoline and a Fram filter.
DON'T put an FRAM filter! They are crap! Complete! When you remove an FRAM oil filter the filtering element (paper) comes off all mashed up as cellulose goo, then you know FRAM is a piece of crap!
Oil filter Mann/Mahle NOT Fram... much better quality than fram.
