Oil filter Motorcraft or OEM Volkswagen

if you use the Ford/Motor raft FL400S, you can put all 6 qts in. Our engines benefit in some way or another from the bit of extra oil, iirc. Makes it easier than measuring out to get to the 5. whatever the stock filter size is

I HIGHLY recommend 5k oil changes with a quality synthetic oil and factory oil filters. There may be others that are OK, but you are sure to have a good filter if you use a factory filter. Stay away from brands like Fram and anything from the quicky oil change places. The filters they use a not good.

I've been very surprised by how easy the Golf has been to work on so far, actually. Oil changes are super easy because the filter is a cartridge on the top of the engine, reservoirs are easy to reach and the battery doesn't require anything else to be removed to replace.

I've used the spec Motorcraft filter (820S), and Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic oil EVERY TIME. This truck has been an absolute beast, and dead nuts reliable.

I just completed my first oil change on this car and it was a breeze compared to my MK5 R32. We have a bone stock 2018 SE AWD and I didn't even need to get the car on jack stands. Oil Filter, VW P/N 06L115562B

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.

Motorcraft are good. Mobil1 Filters are very good, and are a great idea if your going to for long OCI's. I've used filters from Baldwin - they got very good reviews on the cut-apart tests - and I have a place where I can order a half dozen at a time for less than what I pay for Frams at Walmart. I am using Motorcraft on my F250

I always recommend using a genuine VW oil filter.

Well she ran out of free oil changes at VW and so I went online to research which oil is recommended to use in the VW and found that just to buy the filter and enough oil that meets the VW specification requirements would cost close to $80. I can buy the stuff to do an oil change in the Lexus for less than $30

I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.
