Oil filter VALVOLINE or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have been unfortunate enough to be underneath a customers car, taking the oil filter off, when they decided to fire it up. If that Valvoline didn't put the filter on right, you would have known driving home not In a month.
Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!
Pros: problem solved
Cons: filter crushed on install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Oem is pretty much everyone’s go to ( for good reasons ) but valvoline actually has an updated filter for our cars that matches oem & I’ve been using them for last 6 oil changes ( 30,000km ) & I’ve had 0 issues
Pros: zero issues, matches OEM
Mileage: 30000 km
I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......
Pros: good filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 10000 km
I use Valvoline advanced full synthetic or quaker state full synthetic, and those oils seem to hold up very well (ive tried plenty of different brands) and you can buy it anywhere for top off oil. I have been interested in using liquimoly though. For filters, i use k&n, wix, or the nissan oem.
Pros: holds up well, easy to buy
Go on Groupon and look for shops in your area. I get coupons for Valvoline and they’ve always been good to me. I save a good bit as well!
Pros: good service, cheap price
Vehicle:
Lexus
I just put Valvoline full synthetic high mileage 5w-20 with a motorcraft filter in my 2011, and it runs so smooth now. I used to have some noise on startup but nothing now.
Pros: runs smooth, no startup noise
Cons: startup noise before
VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service
Cons: expensive regular service
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech
Cons: drain plug nightmare
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I dont think valvoline is using a quality filter with the required oil.
Cons: not quality filter
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
