Mobil Oil filter

Anyway I always ran Mobil 1 5W-20 full synthetic with their filters and change every 5k, but have since just switched the Costcos brand of oil. Can get it for a pretty good price when it goes on sale so I just stock up. Reviews have said it’s a good quality oil so that’s just what I use.

Pros: good quality oil
Mileage: 5000 km

STP Oil filter

When I first purchased my VW, I could drive it how ever far in whatever temperature and wouldn't get any beeps or blinks. I brought it to a friend to do an oil change and he threw 5W30 in it with a STP oil filter. After that oil change, if the car was driven too long the light would blink and the ding would chime. If you revved to about 2300~ RPM, the noises and blinking would stop. I guess that is a temporary fix, but all I did was change the oil to 10W30 and haven't gotten any noises yet. I guess 5W30 is too thin and can't build up enough oil pressure? I'm not too sure.

Pros: 10W30 oil works well
Cons: 5W30 oil caused beeps
Vehicle: Volkswagen
