I have used both on our 1.8T and my GTI without any issues.
OEM Volvo or Mann.
Mann oil filter, it's want they use in Europe (and what VW recommends)
Mann Oil Filter (@ 160,156) Liqui Moly 5w-40 Oil Change Kit (@ 160,156) Liqui Moly Ceratec Oil Additive (@ 160,156)
I service mine @ a local vw tuning shop NGP. Pan drop, filter change @31000mile, the old fluid came out red`ish
I was also running the over sized Mann filter with 5qts. I was originally running an APR tune @ 16psi with this setup and it seemed fine for the 8-9k miles i was using that tune.
Also, you should think about running Mann or Bosch oil filters....maybe Wix. On start-up, your oil pressure will routinely go beyond 100 psi and worse if your oil pressure relief valve in the pump is getting debris behind it and scoring the piston in the bottom of the pump.
Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.
Next oil change, use a mann, hangst, wix, bosch oil fliter and 20w50 oil.
I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.
