Oil filter Bosch or AMSOIL

I run the 5w30 Amsoil 15,000 mile stuff in our 1.8t... it gets changed once a year. Every 4 months i put a new filter on it and top it off. The samples i've sent in and been returned all looked good if the car is just a driver with some occasional track time i wouldn't sweat running Amsoil or any other really good synthetic 10k or more.

amsoil makes a filter that filters better than stock

I just run Amsoil for 13000k, and change a filter in between. Seems to work fine for me.. and it's preety cheap if you buy the stuff from Amsoil!!

i have 107000 on my wolfie now amsoil 10-30 and their filter cleans better than stockers i change at 10000 miles no problem change sooner for short trips especially in winter redline mt 90 in tranny

Using Amsoil 10-40 and an Amsoil filter, Blackstone said the oil looked clean and ready to keep going at 5.5k miles. Changed the filter and added a quart to replace what was lost to the test and filter change, and kept running it. They were still happy with the results that came at 10k miles. This test was on a a 93 octane APR 1.8T that's run hard constantly.

I used the bosch filter anway because I had already purchased it. It has a release valve, Fram doesn't. Anyway the Bosch o-ring was thicker and softer than the Fram's. Hmm, I bet that's why it was leaking.

I prefer Amsoil and their filter...I drive about 187 miles per day when training and the right oil makes all the difference. I tried Mobile 1 the first time but think Amsoil works better.

what i would suggest that you do is go and get a better oil filter bosch etc. and change your oil to a heavier grade that is what i did in my 92 cab

yeah, you have to whip on an oil filter with an anti backflow valve. fram and mobil1 dont have them the dealer part is the best, imho, but bosch will stop the light also.

One lesson I learned when buying oil filters for the VR6 is to NOT buy a Bosch filter. Why? They are about $10 more, and when you pull it out of that pretty little Bosch box and look at the filter, it's a Hengst.
