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 got a Hengst Oil filter and two Mann Oil filters. I prefer to use K&N Oil filters. Right now I'm using a Fram.
A K & n oil filter is a good filter 2 use. I work at a car dealership and checking out the quality the k&n vs oem, the k&n is a better filter. I usually use them or mobile one on my car.
I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.
I also noticed it seems like it made more noise with a K&N oil filter vs Mobil 1 filter.
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.
