I have a 2013 Jetta that calls for 5W-40. I only use oil filters purchased directly from Volkswagen, and I only use Castrol oil. I've had positive results doing this
I am not sure if you can and have a place to do it on your own but I bought oil vacuum pump couple years ago and changing oils myself since then. I have a Volkswagen and oil filter easily accessible from the top.
I’ve also used Mobil oil filters because they’re easily accessible and manufactured by Mann.
I always recommend using a synthetic oil and a Mobil1 Extended Performance filter every 5k miles.
I run this same oil and Mobil 1 filter in my 2009 Yukon XL with a 6.2 L V8 with 148k miles. I usually change my oil every 3k - 5k miles despite what the marketing says.
NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.
Thanks for the quick reply I'm run ing 5w40 mobil 1 European spec oil ans mobil one extended performance filter I change it every 5k
I usually buy my own oil and filter the 20k mileage mobile one brand and have a shop do it for 20 but I’m 500 miles away from home. I change it at 10k miles just to be sure. I’m away from home to often to change every 3-5k miles so this 20k mileage stuff is great and haven’t had a single issue!
My buddy changed oil, and used a Mobil1 filter in his moms Hyundai. It knocked right away. Changed to Hyundai filter and knock quit.
Mobile 1 oil filter collapse? This is the second time that this has happened. First time was with a Mann oil filter. I would have though that Mobile 1 would have done better them this. This is the Mobile 1 filter with just 4,500 miles
