Bosch Oil filter

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

Pros: larger oil capacity
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 72174

Bosch Oil filter

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.

Pros: superior brand

Bosch Oil filter

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

Pros: good brands like Bosch

OEM FORD Oil filter

Ford Oil filter is less than 50 AED. No clue what's the difference between the one branded as FORD vs MOTORCRAFT, but hey - you can even get a sport oil filter from K&N for around 60 AED... damn marketing.

Pros: cheap oil filter
Cons: marketing concerns
Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

Bosch Oil filter

The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.

Cons: decreased quality, different design
Vehicle: Honda Pilot
Part number: 3323
