Owner reviews for oil filter

oil changed and one new Bosche oil filter later the car now has total oil pressure and runs great.

I would stick with MANN filters since they are an OE supplier.

filter is the nipple mk2 type that mounts to the fire wall next to the turbo.

I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together

Per VAG-COM, 5,7xx miles and 372 days on this filter (Mann as I posted above): Looks fine to me!

Wix and NapaGold (by Wix) filters of the champions. No filter or pressure issues for me since 1970.

I have several VW/Audi cars and I use Mahle oil filters most of the time. I've heard some horror stories about other aftermarket filters causing some problems, particularly on the water cooled Vanagons (I have one). Mahle and Mann seem like the best option.

Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.

Fram makes a decent filter for everone else but not for VWs. Something about the cold start bypass valve not working well, or something.

Me too, so I went back to the stock size filter and the issue improved.
