Have a look at Valvoline restore and protect which is also for high mileage vehicles. Also grab a few oil filters, as the product does such a good job, you'll want to replace the oil and filter, do a few good long drives in the first weeks/month, replace the filter, do it again over the next few months, replace the filter, and keep that for the rest of the year ( maybe check the filter just in case ), and you'll see just how well it does.

Pros: does a good job

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.

Pros: factory filters rated well
Cons: wasting money
Mileage: 150000 km

I like Valvoline Restore and Protect along with the OEM black filter. But also, if your washer fluid lights keeps coming on, just unplug it. It’s so much easier than trying to find an another bump in the road to purposefully drive over to turn off! \ud83d\ude02 some say you can fill your washer reservoir with white vinegar and clean the sensor, but it didn’t work for me.

Pros: Valvoline Restore and Protect, OEM black filter
Vehicle: Subaru

Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.

Cons: problems with cheap oil filters

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.

Pros: mounted at an angle
Cons: inevitable spill

Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.

Cons: blew a piston arm
