Oil filter Fram or MOTUL

I disagree. I have used the fram and I am very happy with it. Speaking which, time to change oil, and that stupid filter is hard as hell to get off.

I have had the oil changed once so far (at 1500 miles - to get metal particles out of system). Gave the shop 4 qts of synth (so they wouldn't overfill) & checked level when I got home & was right near max on dipstick. I thought this was odd cause I was prepared to add a little more oil. I used Fram filter which is possibly smaller than VW filter thus allowing max reading with only 4 qts?

Do NOT use a FRAM oil filter, whatever you do! Mahle, Mann, or VW OEM only.

I have been using FRAM filters all this time, and the problem has re-developed.

I switched to the dealer filter and I will never go back to a Fram. Before my oil pressure when warmed up would not go above 2bar now it does what it is supposed to.

Not if you don't mind cardboard relief valves and the total lack of a anti-drainback valve. That's before we talk about filter quality. I will add that you'll probably never have a problem with a Fram but there are much better filters for similar money.
