Swapped the oil filter with the recommended Wix oil filter
I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it with Wix filters.
The car runs smoother, burns less oil, idle feels quieter, oil comes out less dirty and overall, the car just feels better.
Wix in everything.
Purolator and Wix filters are made by mann+hummel. Both are excellent filters. The Wix filter part# 57002 is made specifically for the 2.5 non turbo Skyactive engine because it does not have an anti drain back valve and same goes for oem. 0w20 only comes in synthetics so as long as you use what is recommended in the manual you can use your favorite oil. I will be doing 3-4K oci.
I use Amsoil Signature Series and a Wix Filter.
Wix xp filter
Motor sounds so much better already and oil psi stays between 58 and 62
Oem filter or wix WL10078. For oil pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum 5w30 (whichever is cheaper).
I used to strictly go OEM with the blue filters, but switched to WIX after watching this:No issues to report.. little more peace of mind
I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.
When I first purchased my VW, I could drive it how ever far in whatever temperature and wouldn't get any beeps or blinks. I brought it to a friend to do an oil change and he threw 5W30 in it with a STP oil filter. After that oil change, if the car was driven too long the light would blink and the ding would chime. If you revved to about 2300~ RPM, the noises and blinking would stop. I guess that is a temporary fix, but all I did was change the oil to 10W30 and haven't gotten any noises yet. I guess 5W30 is too thin and can't build up enough oil pressure? I'm not too sure.
