Oil filter AMSOIL or OEM Volkswagen

I have used both on our 1.8T and my GTI without any issues.

I service mine @ a local vw tuning shop NGP. Pan drop, filter change @31000mile, the old fluid came out red`ish

AMSOil Signature oil and their filter, AMSOil trans fluid.

Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.

I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together

I used the bigger passat 1.8t filters on my DD 2000 jetta with mobil 1 0w40 for over 100k in 4.5 years (135k total on vehicle) and when that car was totalled in a flood, the motor was tight and flawless...

Oil filter/housing and the Crank Position Sensor are pretty common leak points. The CPS leak on my own car was like this phantom leak I just couldn't find until a shop fixed it for me.

I run AMSoil European Blend (specifically for VW,AUDI, BMW,) and the filter as well. I change my oil around 4-5K depending on my driving during that time. My oil always comes out slightly 'browned' .... never dark.

Das original VW öl bekommst du für 10€/l auf ebay und den ölfilter wahrscheinlich für um die 10€.

Me too, so I went back to the stock size filter and the issue improved.
