I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.
I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.
I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.
Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval
Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.
Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.
Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
