Oil filter K&N or AC DELCO
Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.
Personally i use these:
Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N
And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.
I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.
I've been running Castrol 5w40 in my cars for years. Started in my '99 Beetle 2.0 and now my 1.8T GTI. I use the K&N filter but I get the one for the Passat since its larger.
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
I also noticed it seems like it made more noise with a K&N oil filter vs Mobil 1 filter.
Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.
Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
