I use Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP because I can get it from Wal Mart and it is cheap, I buy Mann filters 5 at a time from Rock Auto.
I've been using MANN filters, Liqui Moly or Motul, whichever is on sale and has the VW spec number I need.
I use the K&N 170 on my 1999 883C, have for years. Not sure why Amazon is saying "not for your model", I've literally been using it for the last 16 years and 70,000 miles, and have ordered 6 of them from Amazon over that time period.
Mann 925/4x is the right one for a M52 & M54, ive been using exactly that for all my E36/E46 for years.
Eu uso tudo mann e ja tive que fazer um motor fire, vale a pena economizar nao.
Mann Filter, Fram e Metal Leve são as principais marcas top no mercado de reposição. Se quiser economizar sem ficar encucado, não abra mão das marcas top para o filtro de óleo
Been running this on my 03’ hatch and it’s been great.
OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
First and only time i tried a k&n filter the bypass valve did not open and oil sprayed everywhere .I Will never try one again.
Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.
