and get a Wix filter or some mid level filter. dont buy the cheapest one out there. 9-15 dollars is about how much you want to spend on a filter. But it works great.
Pros: works great
Cons: dont buy cheapest one

I use Mobil One in all my cars (15k stuff) but still change it at 5k - it’s pretty black by then - I also use WIX oil filter that is rated one of the best
Pros: rated one of the best
Cons: pretty black by then
Mileage: 5000 km
Their WIX XP line is about as good as you can get. Virtually the same as the FRAM Ultras. For normal WIX filters, I consider them to be average. They are what you should get at minimum, anything below is not worth buying. A "gold standard" in fitlers, if you will.
Pros: gold standard in filters
Cons: normal WIX filters average
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

This time around I used a Wix filter (which oddly has no branding on the can but is exactly the same as the Mann filter for these cars). I chose to use non-VW-price-gauging oil which doesn't have their certification but I am pretty confident would meet it: Zepro Eco Medalist 0W20. It's an excellent oil intended for small displacement turbocharged vehicles.
Pros: excellent oil, small turbo engines
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 5000 km
I use WIX filters a lot - excellent reputation.
Pros: excellent reputation
Had a WIX 57312 instead of a Motorcraft EC-781. So yeah, it fit but it was allowing oil to bypass the filter completely.
Cons: oil bypass, oversized cap
Part number: 57312
Wix are a pretty high quality replacement per my experience. Wix are certainly good enough to validate that behavior is not unique to the STP filter.
Pros: high quality replacement, reliable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've been using the WIX so far from local auto store.
Pros: using WIX filter
I'm running a Wix XP, probably the best money could by.
Pros: best money could buy
