Oil filter Mann or Motorcraft

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

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.

For my 2010 3.0L V6 Fusion I loaded up on the Havoline Pro-DS full synthetic 6quart eco boxes in the 0w20, 5w20, and 5w30 viscosities and always run a Motorcraft FL-500S filter.

My 315k mile powerstroke goes 7500 with no noticeable wear with motorcraft filters

Use mann Mahle or hengst filters.

Motorcraft filter enjoyer here as well. Oil wise i treat mine with mobile 1 5w20 full synthetic high milage. (142k, mgm 2004 atm).

When I still had my Vic, Walmart used to have awesome deals on Mobil 1 oil, so I would get the High Mileage Extended Mileage 5W-20 and then usually just a regular Motorcraft FL-820S filter

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've only ever used Mann filters and I still consistently get the oil pressure light. I suspect the last time I got an oil change the shop used 5w30 instead of 5w40 because it's been worse than ever for the last 6 months.
