Oil filter Wix or OEM Volkswagen

Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.

Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off

Wix all the way…has superior filtration vs all others, as tested by Project Farm on youtube

I use Mobil 1 with either a Wix or Mobil 1 filter.

At the recommendation of several others, I put a Wix in mine when I bought my Fit last year.

Both Wix and Purolator are made by the same company, Mann & Hummel so the top of the line filters (Purolator Boss & Wix XP) are about identical. IDK about the 20k mile one, haven't touched it yet but it should be on par or better than the Boss.

You can't go wrong with either as they are some of my favorite filters on the market due to how clean the internal construction & how solid the material quality is. The highest end Frams are fine to run but still not as good as Wix or Purolator, and nothing below Frams highest line is worth running imo.

Wix everything. It's the only filter I use in mine and customer cars. I've probably used 3,000 + over the last 20 years

I've had no issue with the WIX filters for my last two oil changes

Had a conversation with a WIX rep and was told their best filter is done filtering around the 5000 mile range.

Wanna see what a Wix filter looks like after less than 10k and 1 year of driving. Notice how the paper media pulled away from the rubber support. Notice that the filter has been sucked in.
