Oil filter Mann or OEM Volkswagen
Just did mk7 gti and my mk8 golf R with that HU 6013 Z.
All good
i use hks engine flush, valvoline vr1 20w-50 and a mann oil filter.
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.
It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.
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.
Well she ran out of free oil changes at VW and so I went online to research which oil is recommended to use in the VW and found that just to buy the filter and enough oil that meets the VW specification requirements would cost close to $80. I can buy the stuff to do an oil change in the Lexus for less than $30
Use good oil filters too!
I just had to do $1400 in repairs to a BMW because a Chinese oil filter ripped and passed unfiltered oil through all the VANOS shit. MANN filters only.
