Oil filter Mahle or Mann
The VW OE oil filter is a Mann.
I also use Mann filters pretty exclusively, Wix is the same company.
I pay about $50 for my oil changes. I buy seven quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 from Walmart and order a Mann filter from FCP Euro.
Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.
Bought 2 x 20 litre drum of Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic LE SAE 5W-40 when the Caltex name left Australia & Ampol sold off all the left over Caltex oil cheap at Repco. $42 for 20 litres!!!!
I also use MANN W719/30. That filter is designed to go a longer interval and for synthetic oils.
New Mann oil filter
Mine was from May 2001, changed it out last year and it for sure made a difference.
I just did a oil change and with EFL 5W40 and use the BIG Mann filter like usuall and realise that the oil as already become a bit blackish...
Mann, Mahle sucks.
