Oil filter Mahle or AMSOIL
I'm running the amsoil remote filter, it will help with your oil quality.
Pros: helps with oil quality
Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.
Pros: oil level at max
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I run Castrol Edge 5W-30 with Mahle filters and no stabilazers since I don\u2019t trust that bullshit. Changes every 10,000km and she\u2019s still running beautifully with 205,000km on the clock
Pros: running beautifully
Cons: don't trust stabilazers
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 10000 km
I installed an AMSoil satellite oil filter. I change it out every 15k and change my oil and primary oil filter at 30k.
Pros: extended filter life
Mileage: 15000 km
I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.
Pros: oil looked clean
Cons: not all filters equal
Vehicle:
Subaru
I recently installed this canister in my 24v VR6: Better anti-drain back valve in it.
Pros: Better anti-drain back valve
I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.
Pros: easy to get, slightly longer
Vehicle:
Porsche
Part number: OC75
I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so
Pros: cheap oil filters
Changed oil at 7556 miles with Amsoil Signature Series 0w20 and an Amsoil filter. I've noticed over time that the oil in the Honda has darkened faster.
Cons: oil darkened faster
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 7556 km
I use Mahle filters in both my VR6 and 2.5 from first oil change. No issues.
Pros: No issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
