I run the 5w30 Amsoil 15,000 mile stuff in our 1.8t... it gets changed once a year. Every 4 months i put a new filter on it and top it off. The samples i've sent in and been returned all looked good if the car is just a driver with some occasional track time i wouldn't sweat running Amsoil or any other really good synthetic 10k or more.
I personally used the small Mann filter for 100k miles and now am using the bosch.
Filters, I'm parcial towards Mann products, if you can find them. Never a problem with Wix.
Is the Mann W940/25 roughly equivalent to the Mobil 1-301 in capacity?
im EXTREMELY pleased with the oil filter. reason being.. my oil light has not come on and not buzzed at all! The oil buzzer has caused me the biggest headache for months which may have been from using bosch filters but i used a mann filter (i believe the oem) and it has still managed to buzz in the past. I dunno i guess this mann filter is the solution to that annoying light/buzzer
Use a bosch or a Mann oil filter for an 8v gasser engine.
I've used both Hengst and Mann over the years and never had a problem with either. Although I've noticed the Mann filters seem to look a little more "used" when the come out for some reason.
amsoil makes a filter that filters better than stock
I stick with a winner. Mann filters and Mobil1.
I just run Amsoil for 13000k, and change a filter in between. Seems to work fine for me.. and it's preety cheap if you buy the stuff from Amsoil!!
