Oil filter Mann or Wix

I buy two 5L jugs and a MANN filter from FCP euro and use their lifetime warranty.

I just go to Walmart or Costco and pick up 5W30 and a filter on ebay or amazon (mann). As long as it's LL01 approved oil, it'll treat your engine right.

For the oil filter mahle Mann or will do.

The OEM filter does a damn good job for what it is. If you're looking for an upgrade go with a wix or similar quality. Check the micron ratings when looking them up cuz brands like mobile 1 are not as good as they used to be.

Oil Changes are done every 7,500km (VW calls for 15,000km). Always done with Fuchs/Liqui Moly/Motul full synthetic oil (5W-40) and MANN filter.

Nice post, been using pennzoil platinum 5w30 for a while now and after seeing your results with valvoline I'm going to give that a try. Also gonna be switching to the wix filter instead of the usual subaru black filter to see how it goes.

Valvoline all round pretty much with the wix filter, i never plan ahead enough to order the oe filter

For the Oil Filter, I would recommend using either the Mazda filter or the Wix/Napa Gold aftermarket, as they are specifically built to meet the Skyactive engine's specifications.

I use Wix oil filter with every change. Decent price and is all metal with a good filter. Does the job and has never failed on me.

I loath pulling out the Mann filter that I use on my AMU motor. Total pain especially when the thing is like 200 degrees. Barely fits through but it always gets out of there somehow.
