Interchanging oil filters on A4 from 5cyl

[cobram at juno.com]

Find another supplier, the Mann filters for the 200TQA are $1 more than
the 1.8T filters from WorldPac.  Since most retailers buy from WP, I
can't see them being double in price, even at retail.

There is a footnote on the Mann listing: "Due to increased maintenance
intervals for new VW & Audi applications, Mann & Hummel developed this
filter specifically with those intervals in mind.  With a new advanced
filter media that allows for increased service intervals, paralleled with
better filter efficiency, especially when using synthetic oils.  New high
quality rubber parts are also incorporated, furthering it's compatibility
with the new generation of synthetic oils."

The 1.8 filter cross references to at least 20 other VW and Audi models,
the only 5 cylinder seems to be the 1991 20V 200TQ's,
