Oil filter Bosch or Mobil
I believe there was a technical bulletin about this, recommending that the VW installations of the 1.8T be run the way Audi, who wasn't have the issue, was running them. So that meant using the much larger diesel Rabbit oil filter, like the Bosch 72174, or the Mann or Knecht equivalents, which upped the oil capacity of the engine, and then running only synthetic
If you're going to track it, get wider 200 tread wear tires, swap the brake fluid for motul 600, get some track brake pads, and use 5W30 Pennzoil ultra platinum oil.
Oil filters: Mobil 1 Extended Performance
I looked up filters and Bosch was the superior brand. I use my military discount and buy six at a time through Home Depot since the Mrs. Edge and my son's Escape take the same filter as my 2.5L Maverick. IMO the filter is as important as the quality of oil.
I do a lot of miles in my diesel so I buy in bulk from rock auto and the shipping barely goes up
My last order I made sure to get all of the filters from the same warehouse while still getting good brands like Wix and Bosch
I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's
Always used Bosch Premium once warranty was up. Anyway, tech said Bosch is his first choice for a good substitute and probably even better than Honda. I tend to agree.
The Bosch oil filter and Mobil 1 5w20 combo is what I've been using for years for my 2010 TSX

Bosch Filter verbaut, hat sich unten die Dichtung am Filter abgelöst und den Ölkanal im Filtergehäuse zu gemacht ???????? kommt also nicht nur bei „billigfiltern“ vor sondern auch bei den nahmhaften Herstellern…
