When we purchased our Atlas the service manager said to use the factory oil filter when doing an oil change. He said aftermarket filters don't flow enough oil and will starve the engine compared to the factory one. I've never heard of this, but I've never owned a VW or a vehicle that has an internal cartridge filter.
From what I've found, the factory is a Mahle W0133-2888178. Is this correct... has anyone used an aftermarket filter, Wix, Mann or any other brand and had any issues with it?
Thanks in advance
