Mobil 1 filters?

[RJA]

I just bought an UrS4 and the Mann filter called for it is a Mann W719/30,
which has been designed for long life and synthetic oils.   The filter
called for the Type 44 is the W719/5, however, the W719/30 is an exact fit.
You may want to consider using it for your 200.  I bought it at the local
import parts store for <$6, so it's not unreasonable.  See
http://www.mann-hummel.com/englisch/mannfilter/katalog/katalog.htm for
applications.  Also see http://www.volksparts.com/filters.htm for Mann's
description of the W719/30.  I believe Mann is now the OEM supplier for
VW/Audi (but I'm not sure).
