Default OIl Filter Change/ Blue Purple Oil Best?

Can anyone advice on the best Oil/Filters we can provide our cars.Is the Blue Purple Oil the best we can use, as a synthetic oil for our vehicles.How about oil filters?I know the casing of the filter is reusable,its a 2 part setup.Is KN best? Or does anyone else know of a better replacement to the OEM.Your thoughts?

Check your manual to see which VW/Audi oil quality standard your motor needs. It's probably the 502.00 or 505.01 standard. It's on Audiusa.com here.

There are a ton of oils certified for use in your Audi. I'm pretty sure Royal Purple is not one of them.
