Owner reviews for oil filter

Haven’t had any issues with Hengst

Motorcraft filters use a silicone anti drain back valve ADBV. Cheapos use rubber ones that get hard in the cold and don\u2019t seal. If they don\u2019t seal oil leaks out of the hydraulic chain tensioners and they aren\u2019t pressurized when the engine starts, so the chain isn\u2019t tensioned and it rattles for a second against the plastic guide before oil pressure comes back.

Valvoline synthetic with oem filter.

Penzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 and OEM filter, working great for me since started the oil changes at 900 miles. I always put in a bottle of Techron in gas tank at every oil change as well.

I personally use Motul 5w30 with oem oil filter.

Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.

I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.

Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.

i’d like to introduce you to the honda k series. filter on back of engine, hard to reach from top, hard to reach from bottom, easiest but still hard from wheel well. oh and if it’s a honda element or CRV, it pisses oil all down your subframe and axle shaft.

04 Audi A8 with the 4.2V8. gotta take the whole fuckin air box out the get to the oil filter. Air filter out, air box out with 6 screws that are hard to reach, intake tube comes out, pull back some heat shield on the engine and there it is, sideways, above a bunch of other components so you can't get it out quick and clean without spilling oil on half the engine bay.
