Oil filter Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.

After watching some tests videos on YouTube, looks like mobile 1 filters had the best filter capabilities. So I’ve been using that for years now.

Been driving STIs reliably for 20 years, and I never use oem.\n\nI use Mobil (M1-110, the longer one), or Wix.

If you're going to track it, get wider 200 tread wear tires, swap the brake fluid for motul 600, get some track brake pads, and use 5W30 Pennzoil ultra platinum oil.

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.

Oil filters: Mobil 1 Extended Performance

I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic and the 10,000 mile Mobil1 filter from Walmart. I bought my 2009 TSX nearly 4 years ago with 113,000. It now has 178,950. I'm lucky it doesn't burn any oil, I never have to add oil between changes.

Every third oil change use Mobil one oil filter. Ideally their high mileage one. It’s more restrictive. It can and will catch metal particles

I'd just recommend getting a VW oil filter. Some of the aftermarkets are really cheap and can collapse in on themselves.

B5 Passat (and Audi A4, same gen), 1.8T.

Filter - a big-ass 1.5 liter spin-on - mounted at an angle, directly above the front subframe.

Remove from top, after relocating the coolant tank.

Strategically use absorbent mat (floor diaper) to contain the inevitable spill.
