I tried several different combinations of filter and oil on a 4.0 with 180k. Decided to give T6 and a WixHD filter and everything has been amazing since. Almost all of the little issues seem to have disappeared since I switched.
RockAuto sells AC Delco oil filters for $9. AC/D dexos 5-quart for $19 and one single quart for $4.
I buy 6 quarts of Pennzoil 5w30 full synthetic and an AC Delco filter for like $38 from Walmart.
In my area I usually buy my Mobil One full synthetic at Walmart in the 5qt jug for roughly $22, use what I need (my vehicle uses litters ...) My Delco filter is like $6.
I recently installed this canister in my 24v VR6: Better anti-drain back valve in it.
I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.
I've always used Castrol bit my buddy swears by Mobil 1. I personally think that most name brand full synthetic oils are pretty similar. Not all filters are created equal though. I like wix xp but Mobil 1 makes great filters too
I've been very surprised by how easy the Golf has been to work on so far, actually. Oil changes are super easy because the filter is a cartridge on the top of the engine, reservoirs are easy to reach and the battery doesn't require anything else to be removed to replace.
Mobile 1 oil filter collapse? This is the second time that this has happened. First time was with a Mann oil filter. I would have though that Mobile 1 would have done better them this. This is the Mobile 1 filter with just 4,500 miles
same problem... vaico filter and o-ring. replaced the Oil about 5kkm ago, let the excess drain as required. problem is i have no idea how much of it has leaked so will have to do the whole oil change procedure all over =//// major pita.
