Sure, VW does not make oil or filters, but it's easy to find out who makes those products for VW. VW has a lot riding on what they recommend a lot more than NAPA. Is there any reason why you trust NAPA vs VW? Do yourself a favor, get an OEM filter and an oil that passes VW specs. MANN, Hengst, and Mahle and the common OEM filters [in that order].
Can go wrong with Mann filters.
Also be sure to use a high quality oil filter, like a Mann...I had a Fram collapse under sludgy 5w40 in the cold.
I've been running MANN brand filters for the last 5 years with no problems.
It\u2019s been peanuts for me so far (knock on wood)\n\nI use Mann Filters and full synthetic 5W40 every 5k miles like clockwork.
I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)
Make sure to change the drain plug crush washer if you don't do at the dealer and get good quality filters (Bosch, Mann)
chain driven and reliable, only maintenance they need is regular oil changes and you can do that yourself for \u00a335 with a jug of castrol and a mann filter
We have a 2023 tiquan hi r line and a 2023 Taos highline never an issue except rear brakes on Taos and wipers both taken care of under warranty/ we change oil Liqui moly 0w-20 every 5,000 km with a Mann oil filter and air filter every second oil change also by Mann
The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.
