Careful here, folks. For Audis they list tone size fits all (SD2) which
is not true. The 10v 5 cyl used 12mm drain, plug, the 20v 5 cyl, the
1.8T 4 cyl use the 26mm plug. I am not surprised in the least - it's
Fram, the maker of the crappiest filters under the sun. Besides, the
acvtion is somewhat less elegant than in the Fumoto valve.
James, forgive me, this is not meant to be a flame by any means, just a
datapoint.
