Also, I've seen a lot of the VW mechanics on yt using Mann filters when doing oil changes. Considering the one I bought from VW was like $25, and rockauto has the Mann ones for like $8, that's what I plan on using in the future.
You can find Mobil 1 esp at most local car parts stores and you won’t have to ship. 0w30 or 5w30, double check it’s VW 507.00 on the back. I think my advanced auto parts down the street had the correct Mann oil filter in stock too.
For oil, if you are changing your oil earlier than the OEM recommended oil change interval of 10k mi / 12 mo, then feel free to use the cheapest GF-6B API-SP certified oil of whatever type it says on your oil cap, along with a Toyota OEM filter, which is almost always cheapest to buy at the dealership's parts counter.
It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.
Running toyota filter.
The Mann filter I use in my 13 Jetta TDI is HU 719/7X. haven't had any problems with them.
The VW OE oil filter is a Mann.
I also use Mann filters pretty exclusively, Wix is the same company.
Even tried different filters (Fram, Mann, etc.). It is slighly quieter with thinner oil.
Mann, Mahle sucks.
