Oil filter selection for VW '01 Jetta 1.8T engine?
Permalink  
 


Did a search but could not find anything regards to what type of filter I could use during my first intial rinse stage of AutoRX.  There was a mention of using Motorcraft FL400S filters which are $3-4/each.  However,  I cannot find any post that confirms that this filter is compatible.  The regulard Mahle large sized filters cost about $5-6/each.  I'm not sure if I should just stick with that but it seems like a waste to discard them after 1500 miles.


I have a '01 Jetta 1.8T btw with 147k miles.

 

Thanks!

Buy the least expensive filter you can use for Auto-rx Application.

Use whatever filter you like but if you are going to be replacing them on a frequent basis I'm with Frank on this one. Save yourself some money and use a lower cost filter until you have returned to your normal oil change interval.
