Best oil filter

[Voodoo1971]

Hi, 

I have an audi 2016 a3 1.4tfsi and wonder what is the best oil filter I should get? I am having difficulty spotting the correct one and wonder if it is a paper or metal filter I need? 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Cheers

Jp

Hello Jason,

Thanks for asking the question, but the reason for asking does confuse a bit in relation to being asked about with this within-warranty car. As I understand it, you can have the car serviced independent of an Audi dealer, if the garage uses parts recognised by Audi (Audi parts to minimise and risk) service it to the recommended schedule, and the servicing garage is VAT registered. To remain within warranty, Audi does not allow DIY servicing. 

Of course, there may be something we don't know, but the 'best' filter would have to be the appropriate Audi one.

For my well out of warranty A3, I still use an Audi filter or a Mann one as he only alternative.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
