Oil filter Fram or Hengst
I don't get the enthusiasm as they also sell the Fram endurance filter which is much better than OEM in terms of filtration.
Honda filters are just relabeled FRAM Orange can filters. I step it up and use FRAM Ultra synthetic. Same particulate filtration but better quality and synthetic media.
Personally I use Fram's Ultra as it's shown to filter great and allow flow great for the price point from tests performed.
The Lucas product and Royal Purple (or any QUAILTY oil) changed at 3k intervals are great, just make sure not to cheap out on the filter, Fram Titanium or Bosch are your best value in a 20 micron level filter, with the Fram being the higher flow rate of the two.
Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!
The regular cheapo orange Fram filters are downright awful, but their Synthetic line of filters actually rate quite well in testing. I have no problem using the Synthetic Endurance filters in my cars.
it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month
