If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.
Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.
I use 10W/60 and change it out ever 5k. I also use MANN W 719/30 oil filters. They are designed for synthetic oils and longer oil changes.
Mann filter snapped firmly into place and felt really solidly built. Will be using this one from now on.
Can’t tighten these caps by hand as they need to be torqued down to spec. Also use OE Mann filters and gaskets as they will not leak.
Use a Mann oil filter and torque it properly... they shouldn't leak
I can recommend MANN filters. I've cut one open recently. They have a full metal construction, even the inner tube isn't plastic.
I recommend you use your favorite VW 502 00 spec motor oil with an OEM Mann oil filter and change them at 5K miles. My 2008 Rabbit with the 2.5 CBTA engine has 153K miles so far and I can barely hear it idle.
I went with Valvoline 20w50 conventional oil and a MANN 719/5 filter.
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.
