Oil filter Mahle or Wix

Wix xp filter

Motor sounds so much better already and oil psi stays between 58 and 62

Oem filter or wix WL10078. For oil pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum 5w30 (whichever is cheaper).

I used to strictly go OEM with the blue filters, but switched to WIX after watching this:No issues to report.. little more peace of mind

Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.

I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.

Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.

I've used Fram, Supertech, Denso, O'Reilly or Autozone store brands, WIX.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w/20 with Wix/Napa Gold filters. -been relentless about 5k services, @45k now.

-just received my first ever Blackstone Lab analysis, TBN numbers were still extremely good. Blackstone advised me to push my next service to 7500 miles.

-the oil that was sampled, was still a very light Carmel color - I feel guilty throwing away oil that still looks this good

Daca imi aduc aminte, doar un filtru de ulei de la Mahle a venit diferit fata de cel pe care il luasem inainte cu un an; Made in China vs Made in Austria.

Wix filters are not as good as Hengst or Mann for the VR6. Yes, they make good filters, just not for the VR6. They can't handle the high oil pressure.
