I use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf and Hengst filters from FCP Euro on my 1.8T Passat. Highly recommend.
Pros: highly recommend
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
My Mercedes turbodiesel recommended based on my driving (almost all long highway) 25k miles per oil change and something like 7,500 miles on oil filters. I couldn’t do this long but over 250k miles, did eventually allow myself to go 12k miles.

When doing oil changes buy a K&n oil filter.
Sometimes I can make 2500 and have actually reached 3k miles without adding oil.
Cheap ones are crazy and every time I use the oil filter I get at Walmart oil changes I’m adding oil at 1500 miles.
Pros: extend mileage without adding oil
Cons: cheap ones are crazy

when I did the first oil change on my car I removed an aftermarket Filter. The OEM filter was about 1/3 larger, and weighed the same as the aftermarket filter full of oil. Just makes me wonder how much more there is inside the OEM filter.
Pros: larger filter
Cons: smaller aftermarket filter

Ford Mustang
My mechanic said that a small amount of metal flakes in the engine oil filter is normal, but the amount here is significant and shows theres a something going wrong.
Cons: significant metal flakes

i had a k&n on my car, immediately i noticed how much lighter and cheaper feeling it was compared to the previous bosch filter i had, also noticed it had a round gasket opposed to the flat one found on most oil filters, but despite this i ran it anyways, a month goes by and i notice my car is starting to leave puddles of oil everywhere, i put it in the shop and lift it up and sure enough the oil is leaking right from the shitty gasket on the k&n filter, replaced it with a bosch and haven’t had an issue
Cons: oil leak, cheap feeling
