Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.
I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together
My '94 Celica with 256k miles never knew it to be true. Good ol' Fram orange is pretty much all I've ever used, though I did switch to the "high mileage" ones somewhere around 225k. That's what's on there right now.
I have been changing it every 2800 to 3000 miles with Mobile Clean 5000 (10W30) and Fram filter.
Fram… even used the orange can of death on my old Toyotas without issues.
If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.
Don't use Fram oil filters. Motorcraft/Purolator, wix, bosch, mann, etc... are good.
Also stay the hell away from Fram and K&N oil filters. They're crap. Go for Wix or Bosch.
On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.
I just changed the oil on my TDI at 15,000 miles and when I pulled the engine cover it looked factory fresh under the cover. Meaning there was no evidence that the dealer even made an attempt to change the cartridge filter. I was very, very careful not to spill oil on the engine components but still managed to get oil on the white mesh heat shield next to the filter housing. When I removed the cartridge filter it looked extremely dirty and gunky.
