Oil filter Wix or OEM Volkswagen

WIX 57202. hands down the best filter

Wix XP gave a nice pressure boost...about 10 PSI

Wix xp after watching project farms videos on filters. Historically have used all sorts of filters and never had an engine failure. Use full synthetic and change every 5k miles for twenty five years without any problems.

I saw 10 psi more oil pressure across the board from switching to a WIX XP filter. Did this now on all my cars and have the same results. Pretty phenomenal. I used to idle at 20psi like you and now I idle at 30.

What kind of oil filter are you running? My LQ4 was always 40 at idle when warm, about 50 to 60 cruising. I started using AC Delco filters and ended up just under 40 at cruise and 20 hot at idle like you have. Went to a Wix at my next oil change and got the original pressure back. The Delco filter was restricting pressure. No problems since with Wix

What kind of oil filters are you using? Ac delco filters caused similar oil pressure on mine, switched to wix and now it always has like 45psi at hot idle, and around 60 at cold start.

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.

I wouldn’t worry about who does the service. Just don’t use shitty Filters. Use OEM or Wix.

I\u2019ll be replacing the filer with the Wix 58128 over the OEM Mopar simply because again it\u2019s a decent budget filter and I can\u2019t justify the $45 Mopar price tag, any thoughts on this as well?

Big pass on WIX filters. I purchased two 57055XP from Rockauto. Both came without the gaskets attached and the wrong baseplate attached at the factory. There is a well-known defect where 20F instead of 20M baseplates were used. Made a warranty claim with MANN+HUMMEL many months ago. Basically, they ignore you or tell you to F.O.
