Oil filter Wix or OEM Volkswagen

Mobil 1 0w/20 and Wix filters from rockauto. Apparently the Wix’s are the only filters with the correct drainback valve. So I’ve heard. They’re cheap and work well so I use them.

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.

2018 Honda Fit EX. Using 0W16 Amsoil, oil filter my car likes is WIX 57356XP Oil Filter. Transmission fluid I use Amsoil CVT. All working fine. Been using it for like almost 2 years.

Wix oil filter and crush washers from Amazon. Though I have gotten crush washers from the dealer. Napa Gold oil filters are Wix, which are arguably among the best oil filters, so I've gotten those oil filters too.

Oil from Walmart. Any 0W-20 synthetic is fine, even the Supertech, though I've used Mobil One. I need a long funnel in my 2nd generation Fit because of where the oil cap is.

I tried several different combinations of filter and oil on a 4.0 with 180k. Decided to give T6 and a WixHD filter and everything has been amazing since. Almost all of the little issues seem to have disappeared since I switched.

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 actually use a Carquest blue-line filter which is literally a rebadged WIX. Even the part numbers match.

Went ahead and swapped out the factory fill oil after a few hundred miles. I heard they use a synthetic blend so it had to go. Went with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 and a Wix HD filter. Oil changes are so easy on these.

I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.

Wix filters are not as good as Hengst or Mann for the VR6. Yes, they make good filters, just not for the VR6. They can't handle the high oil pressure.
