Mobil 1 or Catrol pure synthetic, whichever is cheaper, and a fram filter. have used that combo for 20k miles on the rsx type s, used to use quaker state on the old B18B integra, fram filters, got that thing from 25k miles to 150k miles on that combo.
I used to use Fram oil filters (PH2870A) in my old Mk2. They were so terrible that after nearly 20 years and 253,000 miles I had to junk the car.
i use the same filter on mine, change it religiously every 3,000. never had a problem
My VW has done fine with Fram PH 3569 oil filters for the last 125K miles and runs fine now with no anticipated engine problems. Oil burning is minimal with no added oil needed between changes at 3333 miles.
Took out the air box completely this time checked all the vacuum lines replaced the air filter with a Fram air filter.
I replaced the "wrong" fuel filter with the fram replacement filter. i finally got the car to start and run at an idle. Runs rough at idle but really chokes out with any throttle at all.
Now, whenever I do a cold start the engine rattles like a diesel for about 30 seconds... and then you hear the difference... \"whoosh!\", and then the engine settles right down and idles normally.
They came form Fram G3746 fuel filter, and are useless parts for b3 passat fuel filter application.
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.
Indeed, lack a drain back valve in many applications, poor quality, low pleat count, horrible filtration numbers, general poor build quality.
