Pros: no oil-related problems, used for 160,000km

Mileage: 160000 km
Part number: PH2870A

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.

Pros: larger filter, better flow
Cons: not good for 1.8T

Fram Oil filter

I guess after 24 years and almost 300k miles I should have realized that using Fram filters was a bad idea. I added a factory oil cooler to my GTI to deal with the additional thermal load caused by my turbocharger. I has been very effective in dropping oil temperatures and has not significantly raised my coolant temperatures (I added a cooler fan switch as well), it's a great way to go.

Pros: long-term reliability, 300k miles usage
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 482803 km

Yes, the Mobil1-301, the Mann W940/25, the Purolator L30257, and the Fram PH3569 are all equivalent in capacity (though most people say the Fram is not equivalent in quality).

Pros: equivalent in capacity
Cons: not equivalent in quality

my experience was on my monte carlo ss, the oil pressure flickered and went through the roof, something happened with the filter and almost caused me to blow my motor, i tried another one for about an hour or so and sure enough it happened again. changed to a different brand, worked fine. my buddies dad who is an avid car collector and builds race cars told me after the incident occured that those filters are crap.

Cons: oil pressure flickered, almost blew motor
Vehicle: Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Fram makes a decent filter for everone else but not for VWs. Something about the cold start bypass valve not working well, or something.

Cons: bypass valve issue, not for VWs
Vehicle: Volkswagen

DON'T put an FRAM filter! They are crap! Complete! When you remove an FRAM oil filter the filtering element (paper) comes off all mashed up as cellulose goo, then you know FRAM is a piece of crap!

Cons: They are crap, filtering element comes off
