Oil filter AC DELCO or OEM Volkswagen

I\u2019ve done this method for 10 years on my tuned 15\u2019 Golf TSI. Since brand new to 150k miles. I change the filter every other oil change... The factory filters are rated for 10,000 miles I don\u2019t see an issue but I do have an issue of leaving oil in that long, which is why I changed it at 5000 mile intervals.

I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age

Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!

I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......

Ac Delco is the obvious choice for oil n fuel filter

I will never use any oil filter that is not OE/OEM.

AC Delco in the D-max.

Switched between fram and ac delco. Sticking to ac delco due to a tsb. Oil pressure issues.

VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service

Yup, they’re trash. I had the same thing happen to me in my Cruze when I used a fram oil filter. I have been using ACDelco oil filters for the last few changes with no issues.

WIX. AC Delco used to be my go to for gm vehicles but some years back they switched out metal parts for plastic and the filters started to have a higher failure rate.
