Oil filter Mann or K&N

I use K&N oil filters sometimes, a little cheaper than oem but they are quality.

double check the oil filter: stick with the brand name MANN or oem. make sure that you put some oil on the rubber gasket before you re install the filter housing to make sure you have a complete seal. also put some fresh oil in the filter housing that way you do not starve your motor of oil when you start it up.

I only use Mann oil filters.

I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.

VW uses castrol syn. 5w-40. With their filter, I think manufactured by Mann. I've been using that but just recently switched to lubro moly 5w-40 with a Mann filter

To change oil for a 2011 VW golf, you do need a special oil filter wrench (14 Points, 74mm),as the new german cars are using a cartridge type oil filter. I got mine from ebay, made of cast aluminium, works like a charm.

As far as oil filters go, if things haven't changed since I sold my old Jetta, Fram, K&N and possibly others all sell the same filter made by Mann. They are literally identical to the Mann and original VW filters. Buy which ever one you can find for cheap.

in my ABA im running MANN filter and just changed to Royal Purple 15w40. car LOVES IT, easily running its best since i rebuilt the motor.

K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.

Overpriced garbage. There is no proof that these synthetic type filters do any better job filtering than a high quality OEM or equivalent. I use OEM, for $13, at 10K miles pretty inexpensive and oil analysis is always good. OEM is best IMO.
