Oil filter OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen
I HIGHLY recommend 5k oil changes with a quality synthetic oil and factory oil filters. There may be others that are OK, but you are sure to have a good filter if you use a factory filter. Stay away from brands like Fram and anything from the quicky oil change places. The filters they use a not good.
I've been very surprised by how easy the Golf has been to work on so far, actually. Oil changes are super easy because the filter is a cartridge on the top of the engine, reservoirs are easy to reach and the battery doesn't require anything else to be removed to replace.
I just completed my first oil change on this car and it was a breeze compared to my MK5 R32. We have a bone stock 2018 SE AWD and I didn't even need to get the car on jack stands. Oil Filter, VW P/N 06L115562B
I changed out the factory fill today at 2,347 miles. I could not find any VW 502 oil in 0w30 locally, so I used Valvoline MST 5w40 which is certified for VW 502, so no warranty concerns. I also used an OEM VW filter which was 15 bucks delivered also on line, but I hope to find those locally for a bit less in the future. I could see small shiny specs of debris in the creases of the old filter, which is why I (and many folks) don't like to run factory fill oil very long.
I always recommend using a genuine VW oil filter.
I have used both on our 1.8T and my GTI without any issues.
I service mine @ a local vw tuning shop NGP. Pan drop, filter change @31000mile, the old fluid came out red`ish
Das original VW öl bekommst du für 10€/l auf ebay und den ölfilter wahrscheinlich für um die 10€.
Normal pricing but don\u2019t go to the quickie lubes. Their oil filters are absolute shit
My mechanic said that a small amount of metal flakes in the engine oil filter is normal, but the amount here is significant and shows theres a something going wrong.
