Oil filter STP or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have been running the larger filter for about 10,000 miles now- haven't had a bypass valve issue. I am using the same filter as a an audi/VW V6 30 valve engine. I do not know if that is the same as the diesel one though But- 62,000 miles so far, no valve lifter noise yet!
Pros: no bypass valve issue, no valve lifter noise

Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 16093 km
fellas, don't forget that there is a new bigger 1.8T filter issued by VW. I got one for my 2.0 and this thing is huge. I assume it will filter the same but it will flow better as the filtering components are much bigger. Also the new filters will retain more oil in the system which is a good thing!
Pros: flows better, retains more oil

Pros: beefy filter

The VW filter is a good quality filter.
Pros: good quality
My filter looks just as I put it in after 5,000 miles, just dirty.
Pros: no warping after 5,000 miles
Mileage: 8047 km
I have been using these since I bought the car (4 years ago) and they have filtered the oil fine, and also look just as the OEM ones did when it was time for an oil change.
Pros: filtered oil fine, good for 4 years
I have seen allot of questions on changing your oil.. so i got out the camera while i did my last oil change. Hopefully this will answer all questions except when and what kind of oil. Filter. VW Part number - 071-115-562

I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.
Cons: produced more startup rattle

I've used the larger oil filter for a couple changes and have gone back to the smaller stock filter for one reason. The drain-back valve on the diesel filter didn't work nearly as well as the valve on the smaller stock filter. I'd get a little valve rattle at startup with it which was noisy and embarassing to put it mildly. It did this consistently while the larger filter was used over 3 oil change intervals. Back to the stock filter now and all is silent.
Cons: poor drain-back valve, valve rattle at startup
