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.
For my car that would be about $800 at the dealer (they are usually $35-$40 with coupon). Five years in and I am right around $1000. It has had about eight oil changes at the dealer (generous $400), an alignment ($100), a battery ($90), a set of Michelins ($400), a wiper blade refill ($10) and a couple engine/cabin air filters (maybe $50).
I'm not sure if the Mobil One Oil Filter is the best synthetic oil filter, but it is probably much better than the cheap Napa filter.
Mobil1 has been a 'gold standard' for a long time. I'd use it, along with a premium filter (Mobil1/etc.)
I use Mobil 1 synthetic 0w20 with Mobil1 M1-209 screw-on filter for the 2012. I've been doing this for these cars since they were new. We don't put too many miles/year on these cars and so I change the oil every fall and every spring. Never had a problem.
OEM toyota oil filters for my vehicle. They're like $5 from the toyota dealership, and worth it.
5k Mobil 1 0W40 with Mobil 1 filter.
I have used the mobil one bigger passat filter for years, works great! more oil capacity.
