[Vwdiesel] Re: oil filters

[Laws Home]

I normally use German filters, but I also change my oil every 3k miles. Up
until the end of last year I only used Mann or Mahle >sp? brand filters.
Then I found an auction on ebay that was selling German OE+ filters, so I
bought a case of them to try. They are made in Korea, so that makes me a
little nervous. Other than that they have the features I'm looking for.
(except for the rubber/plastic anti-drainback valve. I prefer the metal ones
:~) I still would rather use the Mann filters, but I will use all of these
up first and then look for a good deal on the Mann's. This case of filters
ended up costing me $13.50 shipping included. ( 10 filters) Before them, I
bought a case of Mann's at $50 (10 filters). I don't mind spending the extra
money for the Mann's , I will make a determination after I cut one of these
apart and see what the inside looks like after 27 days ( 3000 miles). Tom
