I was also running the over sized Mann filter with 5qts. I was originally running an APR tune @ 16psi with this setup and it seemed fine for the 8-9k miles i was using that tune.
Also, you should think about running Mann or Bosch oil filters....maybe Wix. On start-up, your oil pressure will routinely go beyond 100 psi and worse if your oil pressure relief valve in the pump is getting debris behind it and scoring the piston in the bottom of the pump.
Next oil change, use a mann, hangst, wix, bosch oil fliter and 20w50 oil.
I also use Moble 1 0w-40 and a Mann filter.
Oil and filter changed at 105k. Purchased at NAPA Auto Parts in Newport News for $51
Spring is commin so i made service of my "R" oil Millers XF 5W40 + with oil filter Mann'a new oil filter cover - old one broke during disassembing
Also did an oil change to Mobil 1 0/40 and a Mann filter. Replaced a nasty K & N air filter with a Mann.
ive been using that fram filter since my girl got her '94 2.0 jetta and i thought it was the oil pump about to go... her oil light only goes on when shes driving slow but she'll downshift and once it goes up in rpm's the light goes off...
I have a 94 ABA 2.0L Jetta. Changed the oil and installed a ph2870A filter, took it for a drive and the buzzer would come on. The oil light come on..and at certain point at 4k rpm a 90miles under light load...flat road the light would come on...and then go off..
every fram that ive used in the past was ng. most oil filters use a filter made of cellulose. mobil1 oil filters use synthetic fibers. those cellulose filters swell up and limit oil flow.
