Hi All,

I have a 2010 1.4 tsi 122ps

I work in a garage and was thinking of doing the service here,

Should I go with original parts (filters) ? or other brands are good ?

also what oil is best ?


any tips too ?

Thanks

Use OEM parts, which you can buy from TPS. Your garage should get a get a good trade discount.

You can use any 5w30 oil that meets VW504.00 / VW507.00. Which brand is best is subjective and down to personal opinion. For reference the factory uses Castrol Edge.

I would second using OEM parts, they may be a bit more expernsive but they are definitely better!

Oil wise, I use Castrol edge to, I would never use any of the cheaper oils you can get for peace of mind for the car.

I always use Mann filters and for oil there are plenty of good brands, Kendall, Castrol, Shell.
Kendall is one of the best but expensive.

Thanks guys, I bought castrol edge, mahle air filter, mahle cabin filter and mahle oil filter, what do you guys think ?

It's fine. Bosch, Mann, Mahle are good quality filter brands. What kind of viscosity did you buy?

5/30 oil
