Owner reviews for oil filter

I just buy a Bosch at Walmart. My Accord has been chugging along fine for past 12 years with those.

There is a small oil filter in the cam shafts bracket. That fails, I read somewhere Audi issued a recall to replace them, but VW didn't, even though the part is the same and same likelihood to fail no matter the brand of the card.

OEM Volvo or Mann.

Mann oil filter, it's want they use in Europe (and what VW recommends)

Mann Oil Filter (@ 160,156) Liqui Moly 5w-40 Oil Change Kit (@ 160,156) Liqui Moly Ceratec Oil Additive (@ 160,156)

Walmart should have the best prices of anybody in just about any area. Mobil1 0w-40, Castrol European Formula 0w-40, Shell Rotella T6 5w-40, or even Mobil1 10w-40 High Mileage. Use dealer filters, Mahle or Mann found at Advance or NAPA, Wix or NAPA GOLD also at NAPA.

I service mine @ a local vw tuning shop NGP. Pan drop, filter change @31000mile, the old fluid came out red`ish

I was also running the over sized Mann filter with 5qts. I was originally running an APR tune @ 16psi with this setup and it seemed fine for the 8-9k miles i was using that tune.

Indeed, lack a drain back valve in many applications, poor quality, low pleat count, horrible filtration numbers, general poor build quality.

Fram filters do NOT have an anti drain back valve in them.
