Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
oil changed and one new Bosche oil filter later the car now has total oil pressure and runs great.
Pros: total oil pressure, runs great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So I changed the filter to an $11 Bosch filter, got the car good and warmed up, still low pressure. When I start it up and the oil is still thin, I've got about 50psi and as it warms up it just goes lower until it'S around 10psi at 2000rpm.
Pros: 50psi when oil thin
Cons: low pressure when warm
After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
Cons: threw setup in trash
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
If you are going to go with extended oil changes 10-20k miles you must use a high quality filter and if not a Group 3 Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil, an actual full synthetic oil would be best. Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec are not true synthetic they are (PAO) Group 3. Red-Line, Amsoil, and Royal Purple are the common true synthetics. If you paid less than $15-$20 a quart for oil it's not a true synthetic.
Your filter has to be high quality. Even then I would advise you change the filter and top off your oil at 8k-10k miles.
Oil filters that are able to go for extended runs are Wix, Napa Gold, and Bosch. Those are the 3 brands I trust for long term use. My truck with over 170k miles drives like it did over 13 years ago when I got it new.
Pros: long life, high quality
Cons: Fram filters fail easily
Mileage: 170000 km
Bosch oil filters. I used them to desludge 2 engines, and it CONSTANTLY keeps pulling more and more out. Only problem, they are black, so leak detection can be difficult if its in a tight spot.
Pros: desludges engines
Cons: black, leak detection
I use Full Synth Royal Purple and a Bosch filter. I drive a 2002 S2K and the RP oil keeps the TCT noise in check.
Pros: keeps TCT noise in check
Mileage: 70000 km
royal purple, amsoil, k&N, mobil 1 extended, bosch long disance are good for more like 25k or 35k miles
Pros: good for mileage
Mileage: 25000 km
5w50 castrol syntec and bosch filters what ever's on sale.
