Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or Hengst
Oil service has been done every 5K since then using Liqui Moly Molygen Full Synthetic 5W-40 and Hengst filters.
Last weekend I did DSG fluid and filter, LiquiMoly oil flush and oil change, and tire rotation on my B6 Passat.
My E550 gets M1 0W40 every 5k, with a new fleece Hengst filter. I don't drive it hard until I see past 80C on the water temp (I don't have an oil temp gauge- only the E63s do). Basically the same procedure I use on my S54 BMWs, and every performance car I've ever owned
I’ve always used 5w40 liquimoly with either a k&n or Mann filter.
I bought my oil online, liqui moly 5w30 at $113 and had it changed at jiffy lube for $25. 2013 535i.
$113 including a Fram oil filter.
I do the oil every 5k on both and use liquid moly 5w40 and a hengst filter.
I use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf and Hengst filters from FCP Euro on my 1.8T Passat. Highly recommend.
I use liqui moly but I have my doubts about whether it actually is *the best* oil. I'm sure it's good, but any oil that meets the spec called out in your owners manual is "good". I place more weight on the filter than anything else. Hengst for me, get that Fram shit outta here.
Liqui moly ....run engine get hot pour in a can of ligui moly let run 10 mins drain oil replace filter and oil run vehicle 2500 miles repeat process
since vw started using the synthetic material i am very fond of using oem. ive never seen the synthetic material deteriorate or crush in the housing between oil changes. ive also seen the plastic on those types of hengst filters break apart and that scares me to use.
