A K & n oil filter is a good filter 2 use. I work at a car dealership and checking out the quality the k&n vs oem, the k&n is a better filter. I usually use them or mobile one on my car.
Just changed the oil in my 08 Jetta. went to Advance Auto parts and picked up 6 quarts of Mobile 1 0W 40 and a Fram oil filter.
I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.
I use K&N, just because my local discount always has it in stock.
OEM is best for the 1.8T, larger filter, more ooil, better flow. FRAM is not good for your 1.8T-problems.
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
DON'T put an FRAM filter! They are crap! Complete! When you remove an FRAM oil filter the filtering element (paper) comes off all mashed up as cellulose goo, then you know FRAM is a piece of crap!
i used to run fram on my other cars... just hold a mann next to it and you'll see which one is garbage.
the fram stuff is sh**.......cardboard end caps. Just buy something alittle higher up..hell mobil 1 doesnt even make their own oil filters.....I dont know who does but its not mobil. Payin for the brand name.
cut a few fram filters before and they were horrid. if you do use a fram filter, use the Xtended Gaurd, much better then the fram PH filters
