Oil filter Mann or Bosch

I used the bosch filter anway because I had already purchased it. It has a release valve, Fram doesn't. Anyway the Bosch o-ring was thicker and softer than the Fram's. Hmm, I bet that's why it was leaking.

before you go tearing down your engine, go buy a mann filter (has a check valve in it) from a vw parts plce and have your oil changed with detergent oil, i had a bit of carbon build up, did this and solved all my problems.

Filters: OEM Mann/Mahle/Hengst only Oil: 15w40 winter, 20w50 winter I've never had to replace an oil pump or cam followers(\"lifters\") on any of my cars. VW engines, especially higher-mileage ones, love thicker oil.

I always use stock VW/Mann oil filters. I think next oil change I'll go with Mobil1 0W-40 instead of Royal Purple 5W-30 and I'll change the oil at 10,000 miles instead of the usual 7,500 with RP.

I'm hoping that getting some MANN filters for the upcoming oil change will help solve MY problem...I'm frankly getting tired of dealing with this

what i would suggest that you do is go and get a better oil filter bosch etc. and change your oil to a heavier grade that is what i did in my 92 cab

yeah, you have to whip on an oil filter with an anti backflow valve. fram and mobil1 dont have them the dealer part is the best, imho, but bosch will stop the light also.

Replace oil filter with new filter preferably Mann.

I use bosch filter and Motul 6100 5w40 (synthetic) and I am very happy!
