what is the best option Oem? if so anyone know the part number please?
 
I would always go OEM.....but then I would do because car is always under warranty and dealer serviced.
Speaking of oil filters and just after having my first oil change a week ago, I was surprised to learn that the filter on my S3 is simply a paper element type that fits inside a permanent fixed housing.
I don't know how common this is nowadays because I've not bought an oil filter since back in the 90's. :innocent:

Vag cars have been like that for ages. Remember my old hondas all had a metal cup type filter that screwed on. Insides were probably just a paper element anyway.
