I've heard that "orange" filters don't have a anti-drain valve like the
Mann/Mahle/Bosch filters.  That might be the weight difference.  I've been
using the Bosch 72150? or Mann 719/5 filter on my 4ks (1.8L).  Since I
started running synthetic, I switched to these new VW/Audi 2yr/30km filters
(Mann 719/30 I believe).  They're the same size, but the anti-drain valve is
farther down in the filter.  It doesn't appear to hurt anything, but
hopefully the filtering is better for longer drain intervals compared to the
early style filters.  I wonder if the /5 and /30 on the Mann filter mean 5km
and 30km respectively.  I also noticed that the Bosch 72150 covers
both.?.?.?.

I just switched to this new Valvoline Synpower 5w40 available by special
order from Napa.  (VV 966 item code).

I've been using those orange filters for oh, almost 30
years now. My new employer doesn't like those orange
filters so I'm switching all my cars to those nice
shiny black ones that wiegh like 2-3x Vs the orange
ones. (must be a reason the orange ones are so
light.....) I'll be looking for any changes in oil
pressure as well as for reduced delay in pressure
build-up when the engine is first started. Will share
all results.
