[Vwdiesel] Oil Filters ---( Hot dam NOT a FRAM ? )

[Shawn Wright]

I've used FRAM or Cdn Tire (same thing) in a pinch before too. Now I buy Bosch by 
the case at Bowwow, and get Bosch for about $5.50 CDN. A Baldwin B114 is also a 
good choice if you have an account at a shop that carries them, about $7-8 CDN 
usually.
