I’ve got a 2013 3.5 eb and I change my oil every 4k miles. I do my own changes and use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
AcDelco filters and Mobil 1 filters are always good options to pick from. Don't get the 4 dollar Fram, please.
Mobil 1 filters are fine. I use them all the time in my E92 and I'm at 250k miles with ZERO engine issues. My car is used for commuting and has no modifications to it.
I chose to use Mobil1 0w16 oil and a Mobil1 oil filter ...made in Vietnam.
Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.
I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.
VW Genuine filters used on all oil changes too.
Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.
I got denied an engine replacement from Hyundai/Kia in 2017 because of a Mobil1 oil filter in Canada and lost my appeal as well.
