Oil filter Mobil or OEM Volkswagen
I'm at 115k on my 18' Pilot exclusively using Mobile1 0W-20 synthetic (green gas milage label), changing myself every 8,500miles. I replace with the M1 advanced 110A oil filter and change the engine air filter + cabin filter as well, since new. Discard oil is dark, with a smell thats mild but says, "it's time".
I do use Mobil1, PenzPlatinum, or Valvoline and replace the filter with each change.
Plus a Mobil1 20K filter.
Usually AutoZone near me runs a deal: but 5 quarts of Mobile 1, get a discount on the Mobile 1 filter...
It's worked for over a decade.
I've had my truck nearly 30 years now and DIY'd DOZENS of oil changes. I've not once used an OEM filter. I use whatever's on sale, preferably K&N or Mobil 1, but often Fram or Purolator or whatever was on sale.
I can count on zero hands the number of times the brand of filter has affected my Taco.
if your car is stock, you don't have to worry too much about the oil and filter. i think last time i went with a mobile 1 filter and their extended performance oil but I have used other brands too. any OEM filter will be fine.
Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!
I prefer mobil 1 or wix filters, mobil 1 or castrol oil usually
The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.
Got a 2015 scion XB, I changed the oil every 3000 to 3500 miles and I use a mobil1 M1-103A oil filter, I always put it on as tight as i can with a bare hand, every 3000 miles the oil filter loosens up.
