OEM Volkswagen › Oil filter

OMGpawned 13 Nov 2025, 04:44

Rating 4.0

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

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 150000 km

Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.

Pros: comes in kit

Cons: more expensive

Warning light:

I have used Wix filters. Wasn't the biggest fan of the plastic end caps on the filter, but aside from that they worked just fine.

Pros: worked just fine

Cons: plastic end caps

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Hengst › Oil filter

Rating 1.5

since vw started using the synthetic material i am very fond of using oem. ive never seen the synthetic material deteriorate or crush in the housing between oil changes. ive also seen the plastic on those types of hengst filters break apart and that scares me to use.

Pros: synthetic material, does not deteriorate

Cons: plastic breaks apart

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: HU6002Z

Fram › Oil filter

JimmyTheDoor 21 Mar 2019, 01:25

Rating 1.0

Warning light:

I used a FRAM oil filter on the car at my last oil change and it turns out it collapsed internally triggering a low engine oil pressure to my ECU. The garage (VW/Audi/Porsche specialized) told me to never use anything other than Mann filters on my GTI since everything else is either gonna collapse or be more expensive than the Mann for no added benefits.

Cons: collapsed internally, low oil pressure

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
