Oil filter Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

I've been using Mobil 1 European formula as it is VW approved. I use Mann filter.

I changed out the factory fill today at 2,347 miles. I could not find any VW 502 oil in 0w30 locally, so I used Valvoline MST 5w40 which is certified for VW 502, so no warranty concerns. I also used an OEM VW filter which was 15 bucks delivered also on line, but I hope to find those locally for a bit less in the future. I could see small shiny specs of debris in the creases of the old filter, which is why I (and many folks) don't like to run factory fill oil very long.

I just grab whatever High Mileage oil's on sale at crappy tire, but I always use a Mobil 1 filter.

I then added new oil (Mobil 1 full synthetic) and a Mobil 1 oil filter. I also added distilled water just to top it off because I wanted to do a full coolant flush once the car was able to turn on. I prayed, then started the car.

I have a 17 Jetta 1.4T with 5 speed manual. Bought with 40 miles and now at 66k. Car has never let me down. Never been to the stealership just bought mobil1 0w-40 oil at Walmart and Mobil 1 filter. Oil changes every 5 k miles since it’s best. Spark plug done at 60k no real difference. This little 1.4T is pretty fun for the size. Don’t underestimate it.

Mobil 1 is the most consistently highest rated oil. Royal Purple's filters are probably the highest rated, but Mobil 1's filters are also highly rated and "Just use the OEM ones" comes in third.

I always recommend using a genuine VW oil filter.

I have used both on our 1.8T and my GTI without any issues.

It is supose to be a good filter & the top of the line for filtering out small particles but not the best flowing. My car was a little more noisy with it so I switched back to VW filters.

mine is like thick and black with mobile 1 and pure one filter
