I use Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP because I can get it from Wal Mart and it is cheap, I buy Mann filters 5 at a time from Rock Auto.
Owner reviews for oil filter
I have been unfortunate enough to be underneath a customers car, taking the oil filter off, when they decided to fire it up. If that Valvoline didn't put the filter on right, you would have known driving home not In a month.
Buy an OEM filter and the top spec Castrol/your chosen top tier brand.
Every 5000 miles, it's time for 16 quarts of oil and a filter the approximate size of a Nalgene bottle.
The Lucas product and Royal Purple (or any QUAILTY oil) changed at 3k intervals are great, just make sure not to cheap out on the filter, Fram Titanium or Bosch are your best value in a 20 micron level filter, with the Fram being the higher flow rate of the two.
Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!
I've been using MANN filters, Liqui Moly or Motul, whichever is on sale and has the VW spec number I need.
Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account
Friends don’t let friends buy fram
Fram filters are awful.
