Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
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.
5k Mobil 1 0W40 with Mobil 1 filter.
K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.
I have used the mobil one bigger passat filter for years, works great! more oil capacity.
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:
I use the M1-301 as well, the added capacity from the oversized filter is just nice for peace of mind. It's a PITA to get in and out though.
im glad others have had a positive experience but mine was not so good. Used one once on my old Golf and it came apart inside the housing. Wrote a letter, they said it was an isolated few that were assembled poorly. Got reimbursed and coupon for other K&N products.
