I searched the web far and wide, and there are zero specs on the RE oil filter---anywhere. So, I went to Walmart and brought the old RE filter with me, and compared it to several different sizes available at the store. I settled on the Mobil 1 M1-107A. The thread shaft width and gasket diameter seem to be an exact match, and it seemed to screw on perfectly. I changed the oil and filter, warmed it up, and took a short ride around town. Nothing leaking so far, engine seems to be performing and sounding right. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or not, but it seemed to achieve greater speeds this time around while at lower RPMs.

Mobil 1 Synthetic. im at 291k mi. no internal engine repairs. drive i hard every day. i change about every 6k mi. along with factory filter.
Mobil 1 0w40 why? its the cheapest 502 rated oil I can find.
I have a 2014 Audi A5 2.0T owned new since July 2014 and have done about half of the oil changes the car has had, myself. I have 61,000 miles now and the engine remains completely healthy as far as I know, with negligible oil consumption. My car has an electronic display virtual dipstick, not a physical one, and it takes several thousand miles before the oil level dips below "max" by "one notch" on the gauge picture. This type of Mobil 1 is 0W-40, which does meet VW 502. I never was able to tell any difference in feel or economy between the 2 weights of oil even though the Mobil supposedly should be a bit thinner at cold temperatures.
I've used Mobil 1 since 1986 in my other vehicles, but I don't want any issues with VW should there be an engine failure. Once out of warranty, I can buy the same oil for less at Walmart.
I've been using mobile 1 5w30 with mobile 1 filter.
0w20 Mobil one synthetic and Mobil one filter since 50,000 km to now 205,000km on my 2014 mazda3. Engine runs great.
My 2001 330i loves Mobil 1 0w-40
Been running it for years on the stuff .
I use Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0W-40. This meets VW 502.00 specs and has a slightly wider multigrade range that suits the climate where I live: it'll be -15°F overnight this week, but well up into the nineties in summer. This Mobil 1 is also readily available almost anywhere, and was also approved for our previous BMW 525i and is for the Audi Q5 that's replaced it, so using the same oil for both simplifies my automotive life.
Mobil 1 full synth, or castrol full here as well, and usually their filters.. Yearly oil changes for me by my driving, and I change the filter every oil change instead of every other
