I always recommend using a synthetic oil and a Mobil1 Extended Performance filter every 5k miles.
I run this same oil and Mobil 1 filter in my 2009 Yukon XL with a 6.2 L V8 with 148k miles. I usually change my oil every 3k - 5k miles despite what the marketing says.
NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.
Thanks for the quick reply I'm run ing 5w40 mobil 1 European spec oil ans mobil one extended performance filter I change it every 5k
I usually buy my own oil and filter the 20k mileage mobile one brand and have a shop do it for 20 but I’m 500 miles away from home. I change it at 10k miles just to be sure. I’m away from home to often to change every 3-5k miles so this 20k mileage stuff is great and haven’t had a single issue!
Now I pay only for oil and filter, about 60 bucks use Mobil 1 full synthetic European Formula.
Mobil 1 extended performance 0W-20 engine oil with Mobil 1 m110a filter. You can go to Walmart and read what fits on your model year civic. The oil you should be sticking to is any synthetic and appropriate filter and change every 5k miles.
Used M1-104A, as recommended here, last week. No leaks, fit perfect
Official VW filters are Hengst's with a little VW logo and part number printed on the end just note that the filters do not include the gasket for the oil-can drain plug (dunno if that's on the mkIII's, but it's on the mkIV's). Just means you can't really drain the can, just unscrew it and be quick to minimize the amount of oil that goes flying
Mobile 1 oil filter collapse? This is the second time that this has happened. First time was with a Mann oil filter. I would have though that Mobile 1 would have done better them this. This is the Mobile 1 filter with just 4,500 miles
