double check the oil filter: stick with the brand name MANN or oem. make sure that you put some oil on the rubber gasket before you re install the filter housing to make sure you have a complete seal. also put some fresh oil in the filter housing that way you do not starve your motor of oil when you start it up.
Owner reviews for oil filter
I only use Mann oil filters.
Napa Gold is the same as WIX. Extremely high quality filters.

I have been changing it every 2800 to 3000 miles with Mobile Clean 5000 (10W30) and Fram filter.
I used the bigger passat 1.8t filters on my DD 2000 jetta with mobil 1 0w40 for over 100k in 4.5 years (135k total on vehicle) and when that car was totalled in a flood, the motor was tight and flawless...
the grey Fram Tough Guard is an AWESOME product. It takes the really silly Fram XG to beat it.
I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.
Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.
i used to run fram on my other cars... just hold a mann next to it and you'll see which one is garbage.
