Use VW or MANN filters. They really aren't much more expensive.
I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.
the oil filters I've always used are MANN
The filter I got from the dealer was a Volkswagen/Mann filter.
I was getting the low oil pressure warning on my 2012 Passat. I changed the oil, dropped the oil pan and cleaned it and the pickup tube. They were already in really good shape. I changed the oil filter too of course. Anyway the light isn't coming on at all now.
I've used the Mann HU 719/6X filter for our Mk5 2.5L engines for more than a decade, without issues. Personally I'd shy away from Fram, at least for these cars -- I've heard bad things about failures.
The Mann its OE and has been working fine for years now.
Mann, or Hengst filters are usually what I use, I don't have anything bad to say about them. Quality filters.
Mann, Mahle and Hengst are OE. Mann is my personal choice.
I always thought the filter caught all of that stuff, I mean yea it got the bigger pieces but I wasn't expecting it to let all of that fine stuff through. Honestly makes me question how good the OEM Mann filters really are?
