I drive an average of 100 to 150 miles a day doing deliveries. (Gen 3 2014 Plug In Hybrid) I do use Mobil 1 high mileage (label says protects up to 20,000 mi) oil and a Mobil 1 filters (packaging says the same for the filter) for my oil change. It runs extremely well! My engine feels great compared to the regular jiffy lube oil change! But I just recently came from Firestone last week while getting my alignment done and overall health check. I used to do oil changes every 5k but it was getting ridiculous changing every month and a half paying $70+ and the engine still feels exceptional. So with Mobil 1 HM I changed it every 8-10k miles. This time around, I topped off the last quart from my 5 quart bottle at 10K and will be doing my oil change at 15k. You can say I am pushing it a bit but I feel inclined to really test the Mobil 1 statement. But, back to Firestone, at the 11k miles of running the same oil. they gave me the news and said it’s still up to manufactures specifications and everything was good! It still runs great! If anything Mobil 1 really makes a difference and. But I’ll be changing oil every 8-10k to be on the conservative side, sure saves a heck a lot of money and not waste oil that’s still good.
Every 5k miles. Mobil 1 0w20. OEM filter.
this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.
As Epic said, ive run Mann filters on my 944.
Mann W71922 is a perfectly good filter and readily available, and the Mahle OC46 for the 928 will fit a 944, it's just taller. Also should be readily available.
If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.
I only use mobil1 high mileage and mobil1 filters for my 99
I always use Mobil 1 oil filters for my Miata. Does the job well. You can use the M110A filter instead of the M108 (stock size Mobil 1 oil filter). The M110A is larger than the stock size which means you'll have a larger filter media surface area, slightly larger oil volume and flow, and it's easier to reach whenever you change the filter. Fits with zero issues and costs the same as the smaller stock size too.
Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.
That M1 filter looks like the same media as every other filter I've ever seen on an FSI. The funny looking seal on the ends is useless since it's bathed in oil anyway. The only seal that matters is the one that sits in the housing and since I've never seen it leak I'd say that one is a waste of money
