I've been using mobile 1 5w30 with mobile 1 filter.
0w20 Mobil one synthetic and Mobil one filter since 50,000 km to now 205,000km on my 2014 mazda3. Engine runs great.
Mobil 1 full synth, or castrol full here as well, and usually their filters.. Yearly oil changes for me by my driving, and I change the filter every oil change instead of every other
Mechanic said he'd replace the oil filter, maybe sometimes that problem is caused by non Honda oil filters. I said ok.
Lo and behold, the CC drifting problem is gone, but fuel efficiency is down to about 24 highway. No limp mode or other problems.
I've been using Mobil 1 European formula as it is VW approved. I use Mann filter.
I just grab whatever High Mileage oil's on sale at crappy tire, but I always use a Mobil 1 filter.
I then added new oil (Mobil 1 full synthetic) and a Mobil 1 oil filter. I also added distilled water just to top it off because I wanted to do a full coolant flush once the car was able to turn on. I prayed, then started the car.
I have a 17 Jetta 1.4T with 5 speed manual. Bought with 40 miles and now at 66k. Car has never let me down. Never been to the stealership just bought mobil1 0w-40 oil at Walmart and Mobil 1 filter. Oil changes every 5 k miles since it’s best. Spark plug done at 60k no real difference. This little 1.4T is pretty fun for the size. Don’t underestimate it.
Yeah P0740 is the writing on the wall that the tc is on the way out. However, I'd try a couple things before throwing in the towel. Firstly, changing all the fluid out and replacing the filter is a start.
That M1 filter looks like the same media as every other filter I've ever seen on an FSI. The funny looking seal on the ends is useless since it's bathed in oil anyway. The only seal that matters is the one that sits in the housing and since I've never seen it leak I'd say that one is a waste of money
