Oil filter Bosch or Castrol

Buy an OEM filter and the top spec Castrol/your chosen top tier brand.

Kaufe ausschließlich Markenfilter, BOSCH oder Mann. Was anderes kommt mir nicht ins Auto. Und ein kurzer Ölwechsel-Intervall (10-15k) ist auch nicht schlecht für die Gesundheit des Autos. Am Öl und Ölfilter sollte man nie sparen, die potentiellen Folgekosten sind einfach zu krass.

I would never buy a cheapie oil filter for any car, especially a European car. I have always insisted on OEM or Bosch parts for our VW’s.

Depends on year and where you are located. I would never buy a cheap one, since a Bosch is 10 euros, and I'm not willing to take any chances for 5 euros or less, which is the price difference with a ridex or something like that.

I’ve just been purchasing Bosch filters from Halfords or eurocarparts. Oil I just use fully synthetic oil 5w30. I’ve had the car since 60k and it’s about to hit 100k and it’s still smooth as hell.

I would stick to Bosch, Mann & Mahle for filters.

Got a Bosch on Amazon, wasn't changed on my 2 year service. Thank you for sharing, so easy to change.

Buy Castrol Edge and the long-life filter from Walmart for best engine protection.

Happened to me last winter with a Bosch oil filter -- not even an el cheapo aftermarket filter, either. It looked someone had wrung it out like a dishrag.
