Oil Filter - Polo GTI

[NickZ]

Gday,

Had a question regarding the oil filter. Was going to do an oil change through a mechanic at 7500km and I am sweet with the oil I need to use (Castrol Edge 0W-40 - someone tell me if I am wrong).

However, with the filters, I need to know:

1. What brand should I use? Or should I get it straight from VW?
2. What is the model number?

Also, anyone changed the oil filter themselves on the GTI? Is it a difficult job? Will most likely get someone to do it just to cover my ass, but I am curious to know!

Cheers
