Oil filter Mahle or Mobil

Mobil1 has been a 'gold standard' for a long time. I'd use it, along with a premium filter (Mobil1/etc.)

I use Mobil 1 synthetic 0w20 with Mobil1 M1-209 screw-on filter for the 2012. I've been doing this for these cars since they were new. We don't put too many miles/year on these cars and so I change the oil every fall and every spring. Never had a problem.

I have several VW/Audi cars and I use Mahle oil filters most of the time. I've heard some horror stories about other aftermarket filters causing some problems, particularly on the water cooled Vanagons (I have one). Mahle and Mann seem like the best option.

5k Mobil 1 0W40 with Mobil 1 filter.

I have used the mobil one bigger passat filter for years, works great! more oil capacity.

I like the Mahle filter because it has a notched end on it, no need for a filter wrench anymore.

I just recently purchased a mahle oil filter and it is made in austria, good to hear good quality stuff is still available after mann has let me down.

I use the M1-301 as well, the added capacity from the oversized filter is just nice for peace of mind. It's a PITA to get in and out though.

i used mobil 1 301 filter in my passat for a year never has black oil oh ya my motor has over 200k on it with 15psi on it. mobil 1 is good stuff
