You’re a good son (daughter? I guessed.)

Blood from a stone.

Made sure I had filters on-hand. 2011 Toyota 4L v6. 2021 VW Atlas 2.0T The Mann is effectively the factory VW filter minus the Audi stamping.

I have no doubt that folks experience a full spectrum of variance. In this case, Occam’s razor suggests that the common denominator is OP. Every set, every car? Yeah, nah.

I’ve been buying tires for a long time and I’ve never had a set that wouldn’t balance and I’ve never had vibration issues. Too many brands to count. No offense, this really sounds like a “you” problem. All brands, all of your cars? Almost every time? Yeah.

6qt case of Mobil1 and the Toyota Denso YZZD3. Less than $40 OTD.

I’ll be skipping the cleaner product. thanks OP

I quoted OP to settle the arguing. Clearly this is a non-us market Tiguan R (with the golf R engine, a performance tuned version of the EA888) and not the neutered US version. His engine says 504 and 0W-30 (like what VW is doing on other 888 models (my atlas included). OP asks if 5w30 504 is...

An OEM Toyota Denso is ~$6. the MSL looks great, but it’s also nearly double the cost. I drive a 4.0L Toyota V6, I don’t care about premium.

They look like premium filters, but I drive a Toyota…

This is on a whole new platform. We’ll see if major components are backwards compatible like the 1st through 3rd gens.

A 0W-40 that is readily available would be a good choice.

Costco Sale: 6 qts of Mobil1 HM 5W-30. Don’t need it yet but I missed it the last time I changed my oil. Not making that mistake again.

Watching video clips from practice is quite amusing. The difference in sound is spectacular.

I checked the site - $70 for 6 quarts of 5W-30? Eek.

It sounds amazing. Jenson Button had a big ol grin when he talked about how it was to drive.

5 vehicles? But why? Kids? Sounds like a parenting/responsibility training opportunity.
