I had the blinky oil light at warm idle and random oil pressure readings. ... Swapped out to a Mann filter, and 20w-50 Mobil1 High Millage, the problem went away.
replaced in the last month: power steering rack power steering pump serp belt oil pressure sending unit rotors and pads suspension: KW V2 coils (1200mi) have stock also wheels: Rotiform BLQ machined 19x8.5
replace the oil filter with a German oil filter (Mann, Mahle, Kenelt(sp?)), check the air filter, replace if dirty
I have used the mobil one bigger passat filter for years, works great! more oil capacity.
i use nothing but TOTAL oil and MANN filters straight from germany how can u go wrong and BTW for all you guys that use mobil 1 its horrible for dub motors you might as well be using exxon brand oil!
I only use Mann, Mahle, Hengst
I use the M1-301 as well, the added capacity from the oversized filter is just nice for peace of mind. It's a PITA to get in and out though.
i used mobil 1 301 filter in my passat for a year never has black oil oh ya my motor has over 200k on it with 15psi on it. mobil 1 is good stuff
My last car ran bosch filters and mobil 1 5w30. the guts were spotless. for my break in period on the new one i used mobil 1 filter. for probably longer than i should have. filtered very well. oil had very little specks in it.
Mobil 1 0w40 in summer, 5w30 in winter, M1-205 filter all the time, oil is never black when I drain it after 4-5k miles
