I searched the web far and wide, and there are zero specs on the RE oil filter---anywhere. So, I went to Walmart and brought the old RE filter with me, and compared it to several different sizes available at the store. I settled on the Mobil 1 M1-107A. The thread shaft width and gasket diameter seem to be an exact match, and it seemed to screw on perfectly. I changed the oil and filter, warmed it up, and took a short ride around town. Nothing leaking so far, engine seems to be performing and sounding right. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or not, but it seemed to achieve greater speeds this time around while at lower RPMs.
I've been using mobile 1 5w30 with mobile 1 filter.
0w20 Mobil one synthetic and Mobil one filter since 50,000 km to now 205,000km on my 2014 mazda3. Engine runs great.
Mobil 1 full synth, or castrol full here as well, and usually their filters.. Yearly oil changes for me by my driving, and I change the filter every oil change instead of every other
I've been using Mobil 1 European formula as it is VW approved. I use Mann filter.
I just grab whatever High Mileage oil's on sale at crappy tire, but I always use a Mobil 1 filter.
I then added new oil (Mobil 1 full synthetic) and a Mobil 1 oil filter. I also added distilled water just to top it off because I wanted to do a full coolant flush once the car was able to turn on. I prayed, then started the car.
I have a 17 Jetta 1.4T with 5 speed manual. Bought with 40 miles and now at 66k. Car has never let me down. Never been to the stealership just bought mobil1 0w-40 oil at Walmart and Mobil 1 filter. Oil changes every 5 k miles since it’s best. Spark plug done at 60k no real difference. This little 1.4T is pretty fun for the size. Don’t underestimate it.
Mobil 1 is the most consistently highest rated oil. Royal Purple's filters are probably the highest rated, but Mobil 1's filters are also highly rated and "Just use the OEM ones" comes in third.
That M1 filter looks like the same media as every other filter I've ever seen on an FSI. The funny looking seal on the ends is useless since it's bathed in oil anyway. The only seal that matters is the one that sits in the housing and since I've never seen it leak I'd say that one is a waste of money
