OEM Volkswagen › Oil filter

KCJeep 18 Dec 2018, 23:45

Rating 4.0

I changed out the factory fill today at 2,347 miles. I could not find any VW 502 oil in 0w30 locally, so I used Valvoline MST 5w40 which is certified for VW 502, so no warranty concerns. I also used an OEM VW filter which was 15 bucks delivered also on line, but I hope to find those locally for a bit less in the future. I could see small shiny specs of debris in the creases of the old filter, which is why I (and many folks) don't like to run factory fill oil very long.

Pros: OEM quality

Cons: expensive

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 2347 km

BFGoodrich › Tires

Grip:

I got these BFG Sport Comp 2 summer tires 235/45R17, factory equivalent size for 17" wheels. They are a tad beefy for a summer set but the roads in PA are atrocious and, frankly, I don’t like the really low profile or stretched look. Even at this size, just slightly tall for a performance setup, these tires absolutely kill it for their price.

Pros: fantastic tire for price

Cons: don't talk to you much

NGK › Spark plug

Starting:
Idle:
Acceleration:

Bottom line: you can't go wrong with NGK. Can't really go wrong with OEM Bosch either but I'd just stick with NGK and make sure you gap them right, call it a day. I'd avoid Denso.

Pros: can't go wrong

Cons: avoid Denso

RED LINE › Gear oil

Rating 4.0

Noise:

I decided on Redline MTL which has a viscosity of about 10.8cst. I can confirm just based on shifting feel alone that I prefer the Redline MTL to that Amsoil MTG. Actually I really didn't like the Amsoil MTG that much based on the shifting characteristics.

Pros: better shifting feel

Cons: shifting characteristics disliked

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

Mileage: 5000 km

NGK › Spark plug

Change the spark plugs too while you are at it, with NGK BKR6EIX plugs (or BKR6E if you want to save money but these are the copper plugs and will not last as long as the iridium BKR6EIX).

Pros: save money

Cons: less durable

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

Part number: BKR6EIX

changed out some spark plugs, shop here: http://autotech.com/passat/b6-3-6l-2006-2009/3-6l-vr6-ngk-spark-plug.html also I decided to get a new valve cover (comes with new gasket, bolts, bolt o-rings, and of course a new PCV oil separator that are prone to fail)

Note that changing your cabin air filter could help too.

Pros: could help

KONI › Shock absorbers

Body bounce:
Bottoming:

When I broke down the struts, I was surprised to see they were completely blown. Konis usually fare much better. But, I’m using Bilsteins as replacements so all will be well soon enough.

Cons: completely blown

Braking:

Also, the steering wheel had a good amount of vibration when applying the brakes. Told the dealer about it, and they came back to me and told me absolutely nothing was wrong and my brakes were perfect.

Cons: vibration when braking
