Buy a good filter too, Mann is a very good one.
OEM Engine cover intake and piping with new MANN Filter never used
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.
I've used Mann, Mahler, Bosche, K&N, and Porsche filters and have seen no difference apart from K&N have a welded bolt on top to ease removal.
Replaced the NGK Iridium spark plugs, MANN engine filter and cabin air filter a week after getting the car and was easing it with E85 and fuel cleaners before that as the owner told me it was sitting around for a year. Very happy with its idle noise and freeway speeds (in Mexico of course).
I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so
I like the MANN filters
Use VW or MANN filters. They really aren't much more expensive.
I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.
I bought a Mann brand filter for less than 3 bucks on sale! In my case though the filter didn't help even though the old one was way dirty.
