I have a 2013 Jetta that calls for 5W-40. I only use oil filters purchased directly from Volkswagen, and I only use Castrol oil. I've had positive results doing this
I am not sure if you can and have a place to do it on your own but I bought oil vacuum pump couple years ago and changing oils myself since then. I have a Volkswagen and oil filter easily accessible from the top.
I do this every time. I buy my amsoil and filter and the dealer only charges me labor
I use my own oil from Walmart. Supertech Advanced Mileage and a Fram Ultra Filter.
I’ve also used Mobil oil filters because they’re easily accessible and manufactured by Mann.
I always recommend using a synthetic oil and a Mobil1 Extended Performance filter every 5k miles.
I run this same oil and Mobil 1 filter in my 2009 Yukon XL with a 6.2 L V8 with 148k miles. I usually change my oil every 3k - 5k miles despite what the marketing says.
Have you considered checking oil pressure regulating valve? In the past I have replaced pretty undamaged filters when I did oil changes. But for the last three years I get crushed filters out of the housing.
Anything but Fram will be fine.
Fram are garbage
Use good oil filters too!
I just had to do $1400 in repairs to a BMW because a Chinese oil filter ripped and passed unfiltered oil through all the VANOS shit. MANN filters only.
