Oil filter K&N or AC DELCO
K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n
I use K&N oil filters sometimes, a little cheaper than oem but they are quality.
I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.
K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.
I use mobil 1 0w-40 and k&n filters - when you buy a filter, get the oversized one that VW approved a while back - with k&n part number HP-3001 vs the stock HP-2005 - big ol' hoss filter but screws right on, takes an extra half quart of oil to fill it up :laugh:
Been using K&N filters on my 1.8t's with Royal Purple Oil. The two combined seems to leave very little to almost no build up of metal particles on my magnetic drain plug.
I've been using them for over 10 years and my motor runs like a top.
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
K&N filter is not as good as OE and just about expensive.
Overpriced garbage. There is no proof that these synthetic type filters do any better job filtering than a high quality OEM or equivalent. I use OEM, for $13, at 10K miles pretty inexpensive and oil analysis is always good. OEM is best IMO.
