I used to use Fram oil filters (PH2870A) in my old Mk2. They were so terrible that after nearly 20 years and 253,000 miles I had to junk the car.
I have used the mobil one bigger passat filter for years, works great! more oil capacity.
i use the same filter on mine, change it religiously every 3,000. never had a problem
My VW has done fine with Fram PH 3569 oil filters for the last 125K miles and runs fine now with no anticipated engine problems. Oil burning is minimal with no added oil needed between changes at 3333 miles.
I have used Fram filters for more than 40 years and have NEVER had a problem with them...used the 2870 on my wife's Passat for 8 years...works great
i've used the fram 2870a for many years(i had a '79,'84,and '99)in all of my 4cyl VW's-i never had a problem with them.
I used this filter for continuously my 83 Audi coupe. i did 4 oil changes a year until she finally died back in January. I had this car for 8 years 160 000km. Never once did I have any sort of oil-related problem.
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.
