Oil filter Fram or OEM Volkswagen

If budget, buy the Fram with the dark end cap. Or one of these Mobil 1 filter Bosch Wix Gold All of these are efficency rated to a good level and will filter particulate to a better level, thus, less wear.

Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!

Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem

I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.

At first I stuck with OEM, but mahle OEM filters got pricey and hard to find. Now I'm rocking Fram tough guard synthetic filters with 5w20 high mileage mobile 1 full synthetic oil.

My car seems to like this combo, time will tell.

The frame filters are fine assuming you change your oil every 5k miles or 4 ish months

it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.

Don't buy entry level Fram filters.

They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.

I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month
