Oil filter Mann or VALVOLINE

Oem is pretty much everyone’s go to ( for good reasons ) but valvoline actually has an updated filter for our cars that matches oem & I’ve been using them for last 6 oil changes ( 30,000km ) & I’ve had 0 issues

A vw spec 508 oil and a Mann filter

I use Valvoline advanced full synthetic or quaker state full synthetic, and those oils seem to hold up very well (ive tried plenty of different brands) and you can buy it anywhere for top off oil. I have been interested in using liquimoly though. For filters, i use k&n, wix, or the nissan oem.

Just did mk7 gti and my mk8 golf R with that HU 6013 Z.

All good

i use hks engine flush, valvoline vr1 20w-50 and a mann oil filter.

Also, I've seen a lot of the VW mechanics on yt using Mann filters when doing oil changes. Considering the one I bought from VW was like $25, and rockauto has the Mann ones for like $8, that's what I plan on using in the future.

You can find Mobil 1 esp at most local car parts stores and you won’t have to ship. 0w30 or 5w30, double check it’s VW 507.00 on the back. I think my advanced auto parts down the street had the correct Mann oil filter in stock too.

It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.

some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut

Use good oil filters too!

I just had to do $1400 in repairs to a BMW because a Chinese oil filter ripped and passed unfiltered oil through all the VANOS shit. MANN filters only.
