Owner reviews for oil filter

Amsoil signature series is good for 1 year/25000 miles, and the Amsoil ea filter is good for the same. It is cheaper too. Amsoil has been proven many times over to work.

I have not had oil light come back on since I changed the oil and filter. Was originally running 5w-30. Changed to Eurospec 0w-40 and a Mann oil filter and have not had the light come on. Have driven over 500 miles now.....

I got my last filter from Amazon, Mann 719/45. Amazon's site says it doesn't fit my CC but it fit just fine and lots of the comments were from people using them on the 2.0 TSI.

Buy a Mann filter iirc, 719/45, which is made in Germany.

stick with any 502 spec oil. I personal use "German Castrol" 0w-30. for filters I use OEM or Mann.

Latest score - Made in Germany Mann oil filter - at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.

For my car that would be about $800 at the dealer (they are usually $35-$40 with coupon). Five years in and I am right around $1000. It has had about eight oil changes at the dealer (generous $400), an alignment ($100), a battery ($90), a set of Michelins ($400), a wiper blade refill ($10) and a couple engine/cabin air filters (maybe $50).

I normally use Mann oil filters... He replaced it with my normal Mann filter and it never happened again. Changed oil three times since then with the Mann filter and light has never come on.

I loath pulling out the Mann filter that I use on my AMU motor. Total pain especially when the thing is like 200 degrees. Barely fits through but it always gets out of there somehow.

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.
