Does synthetic oil need a special oil filter?

Generally, synthetic oil does not require a special filter, but choosing a high-quality or “extended life” filter can help protect engines during longer intervals. However, since all modern German autos require synthetic oil, we recommend using the factory-specified oil filter for your vehicle. German autos have very specific oil and filter requirements, and very few aftermarket filter manufacturers supply filters that meet factory specifications. The few dollars saved by using aftermarket oil filters will prove to be poor value when the engine suffers premature failure and must be replaced.
