I\u2019ve done this method for 10 years on my tuned 15\u2019 Golf TSI. Since brand new to 150k miles. I change the filter every other oil change... The factory filters are rated for 10,000 miles I don\u2019t see an issue but I do have an issue of leaving oil in that long, which is why I changed it at 5000 mile intervals.

Pros: factory filters rated well

Cons: wasting money

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 150000 km

That was the same response when I bought my first XJ oil filter. Coming from VR6 maintenance, it felt like it was free. I think it was like $3 vs $25 for the OEM VW Mann one.

Pros: cheap, felt free

Cons: expensive VW Mann

Vehicle: Jeep

I'll echo others that I've always used the Mann HU 925/4x and they've never given me any trouble for fitment or function.

Vehicle: BMW

Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.

Cons: problems with cheap oil filters

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6
