I'm looking to do an oil change on since I've had my new block In for 2k now and I'm wondering what oil filters and oil people have been using and where they've been getting them. I've been struggling to find a filter with a reputable brand.

I'm looking to use either the Castro edge 5w-30 or Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 and input in which would be better.

Cheers Josh

Best filter is a genuine vag one.

Best oil will be millers nanodrive in either 5w30 or 5w40
