Oil filter AC DELCO or STP

I am running an STP filter on it.

My filter looks just as I put it in after 5,000 miles, just dirty.

I have been using these since I bought the car (4 years ago) and they have filtered the oil fine, and also look just as the OEM ones did when it was time for an oil change.

When I first purchased my VW, I could drive it how ever far in whatever temperature and wouldn't get any beeps or blinks. I brought it to a friend to do an oil change and he threw 5W30 in it with a STP oil filter. After that oil change, if the car was driven too long the light would blink and the ding would chime. If you revved to about 2300~ RPM, the noises and blinking would stop. I guess that is a temporary fix, but all I did was change the oil to 10W30 and haven't gotten any noises yet. I guess 5W30 is too thin and can't build up enough oil pressure? I'm not too sure.
