Oil filter Bosch or AC DELCO
Been using just regular t4 Rotella and AC Delco filters on all of my diesels since 2011. No complaints
The oem filters are kind of pricey here so I use bosch or fram ultra synthetic
I believe there was a technical bulletin about this, recommending that the VW installations of the 1.8T be run the way Audi, who wasn't have the issue, was running them. So that meant using the much larger diesel Rabbit oil filter, like the Bosch 72174, or the Mann or Knecht equivalents, which upped the oil capacity of the engine, and then running only synthetic
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
I looked up filters and Bosch was the superior brand. I use my military discount and buy six at a time through Home Depot since the Mrs. Edge and my son's Escape take the same filter as my 2.5L Maverick. IMO the filter is as important as the quality of oil.
I do a lot of miles in my diesel so I buy in bulk from rock auto and the shipping barely goes up
My last order I made sure to get all of the filters from the same warehouse while still getting good brands like Wix and Bosch
I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's
It's an AC Delco PF2057 without a sticker on it. Completely fine filter overall.
The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.
Bosch Filter verbaut, hat sich unten die Dichtung am Filter abgelöst und den Ölkanal im Filtergehäuse zu gemacht ???????? kommt also nicht nur bei „billigfiltern“ vor sondern auch bei den nahmhaften Herstellern…
