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
Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.
I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together
I used the bigger passat 1.8t filters on my DD 2000 jetta with mobil 1 0w40 for over 100k in 4.5 years (135k total on vehicle) and when that car was totalled in a flood, the motor was tight and flawless...
Oil filter/housing and the Crank Position Sensor are pretty common leak points. The CPS leak on my own car was like this phantom leak I just couldn't find until a shop fixed it for me.
my 5k service on Friday, w/oil change, cost $54 w/filter (I supplied the oil since the dealer didn't stock it, from http://www.1stvwparts.com / for $6.80/ltr.).
I used the oil that is VW507.00 spec and can be bought at the VW dealer (approx retail cost is $7.00 per liter) Oil change capacity is approximately 13 liters. Oil filter part number is shown. I ordered the oil filter cap removal tool from http://www.samstagsales.com for $67.00 plus shipping.
Well she ran out of free oil changes at VW and so I went online to research which oil is recommended to use in the VW and found that just to buy the filter and enough oil that meets the VW specification requirements would cost close to $80. I can buy the stuff to do an oil change in the Lexus for less than $30
I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.
