Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.
Looking over this old post -- an update: I have since migrated to M1 ESPx2 in 0-20. The price has stabilized at $25gallon, and that made all the difference in the world to me, and is allowing me to reduce my OCI's to 5kish.
I use mobil one ESP 5-30
After watching some tests videos on YouTube, looks like mobile 1 filters had the best filter capabilities. So I’ve been using that for years now.
Mine has had Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 its entire life (aside from the factory fill) and I've had exactly zero oil consumption or lubrication related issues. It still gets nearly the same fuel economy and is as responsive and smooth as when I bought it, no matter if it's blasting up a steep mountain or baking in the heat of summer traffic.
Every 4k-4500 miles with a Mobil 1 5w30-5w40 mix and some liquimoly oil treatment.
Been driving STIs reliably for 20 years, and I never use oem.\n\nI use Mobil (M1-110, the longer one), or Wix.
It depends on what ur using the car for. I’ve used super tech, Mobil 1, and pennzoil and haven’t found a single difference in feeling, temperatures, or oil consumption.
Mechanic put in mobil1 FS 0w-40. Car went into limp mode exactly at end of trip. engine was running rough and would not go above 40mph. Engine light was on. MB dealership denied warranty for an exhaust issue, stating the Mobil 1 oil (mb229.5) did not meet their required specification (mb229.51).
