Oil filter Mann or Castrol

I would recommend only OE VW or Mann filters with a VW 502 oil, preferably 5W40.

I used that exact oil with a Mann filter on my 2013 Jetta SE for every oil change. Just sold it a couple months ago with 178k miles on it with 0 serious problems the 10 years I owned it

Castrol Edge 0w 20 with the Dexos1 and an STP gold filter done at 2k.

Also, the filter is just as important as the oil, use an OEM filter or a Mann Filter and use a new drain plug while you're at it.

7500 miles religiously, including filter every time. Full synthetic 5-30 Castrol.

Use mann Mahle or hengst filters.

This time I'm using Mannol fully synthetic and a Mann filter, and as I need 8 litres of oil, it makes sense financially as it's very reasonably priced.

I have an oil extractor that cost me $75 and it works great. Give it a few Pumps and let it do the job. For a 2.0t I’d get liqui moly with a Mann filter all for about $45.

I've only ever used mann, I'm sure they both work! I'm going to stick with what I know is perfect though.

The five has been known to not fill up with oil upon starting due to the one way valve At the top to create a bubble. It is rare but has happened. The five was always difficult to fill because you had to fill the small holes instead of the center.
