I use Mobil 1 0w40 (24.99 for 5qts at walmart) and stocked up on Mobil 1 and Mann oil filters for 2.00/each when all the Advance Auto Parts Stores closed on the west coast
I use Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP because I can get it from Wal Mart and it is cheap, I buy Mann filters 5 at a time from Rock Auto.
I have been unfortunate enough to be underneath a customers car, taking the oil filter off, when they decided to fire it up. If that Valvoline didn't put the filter on right, you would have known driving home not In a month.
I've been using MANN filters, Liqui Moly or Motul, whichever is on sale and has the VW spec number I need.
Mann 925/4x is the right one for a M52 & M54, ive been using exactly that for all my E36/E46 for years.
Eu uso tudo mann e ja tive que fazer um motor fire, vale a pena economizar nao.
Mann Filter, Fram e Metal Leve são as principais marcas top no mercado de reposição. Se quiser economizar sem ficar encucado, não abra mão das marcas top para o filtro de óleo
I personally use the Penzoil Euro 0w-30 that matches the VW spec. I buy Mann filters on Amazon, 2 for $20.
I use Mann oil filter. Possibly a bypass in them when pressure exceeds a certain amount???? Like when the engine is cold, 100+ psi???
Absolutely not normal for 3k miles looks to be oem/ Mann filter but makes no sense to be collapsed already, did you do the oil change yourself or bring it somewhere to get done 3k ago? Also do not use that k&n keep it Mann
