Oil filter Fram or OEM Toyota

I have used Fram filters for more than 40 years and have NEVER had a problem with them...used the 2870 on my wife's Passat for 8 years...works great

i've used the fram 2870a for many years(i had a '79,'84,and '99)in all of my 4cyl VW's-i never had a problem with them.

I used this filter for continuously my 83 Audi coupe. i did 4 oil changes a year until she finally died back in January. I had this car for 8 years 160 000km. Never once did I have any sort of oil-related problem.

Just changed the oil in my 08 Jetta. went to Advance Auto parts and picked up 6 quarts of Mobile 1 0W 40 and a Fram oil filter.

OEM is best for the 1.8T, larger filter, more ooil, better flow. FRAM is not good for your 1.8T-problems.

I don't think Fram filters are all that bad. I've used them before with no problems. I have been scared away from them, though. There are much better filters out there for a couple more bucks. I have not read any horror stories on the 'tex about a Fram actually causing an engine to die, but maybe I have not looked hard enough.

Get a dealer filter, or Mahle or something, don't get a Fram. I use a Fram on my 66 Mustang 289, but not on my 1.8T.

Oil filter Mann/Mahle NOT Fram... much better quality than fram.

the fram's are junk for the VR, the flow(filtering ability) may be different and the pressure valve in the filter is funky(if it has one I can't remember).

my oil filter housing is leaking profusely from the big O ring again. Has this happened to any of you. What would cause this? Could it be oil filter failure? I only have 1,000 on it since the last change and it happened last time with the same brand of filter (Fram). Any reason for this leak besides it being Fram
