What oil filter do you recommend?
 

Hi, I am planning on changing my oil this weekend, I will probably be using Valvoline Max life full synthetic 5w30. What filter would you recommend? Thanx in advance. One more thing, Is their any special tool that I will need to remove the filter or can I just take it off with my hands?

Use a strap wrench or oil filter pliers to remove it. You can get these at autozone.

I use the big Mann filter also. I think it's part number is MN-301. Emphasize think on that one.
Also...I switched to Mobil 1 0w40 full synthetic and my car has been running better than ever. It is even quiter, which I am loving. I thought it would get louder. Just an fyi ....

Mobile 1 0w40 & OEM filter. The filter will be cheaper if you buy it at a VW dealer.
