I just go to Walmart or Costco and pick up 5W30 and a filter on ebay or amazon (mann). As long as it's LL01 approved oil, it'll treat your engine right.
For the oil filter mahle Mann or will do.
Oil Changes are done every 7,500km (VW calls for 15,000km). Always done with Fuchs/Liqui Moly/Motul full synthetic oil (5W-40) and MANN filter.
this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.
Liqui Moly Oil change 5W-40 with Hengst Filter
As Epic said, ive run Mann filters on my 944.
Mann W71922 is a perfectly good filter and readily available, and the Mahle OC46 for the 928 will fit a 944, it's just taller. Also should be readily available.
If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.
Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.
The five has been known to not fill up with oil upon starting due to the one way valve At the top to create a bubble. It is rare but has happened. The five was always difficult to fill because you had to fill the small holes instead of the center.
