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

[Gary Shea]

Back in the late 80's I had a Subaru wagon, put a Fram in it during a
routine oil change, started seeing the oil pressure light fairly often,
got worried, switched it out.  Took a week or so to decide to do it.  By
then I had a clunky bearing on startup.  Basically ruined that engine.

I also do not use Fram any more... Mahle is my choice of VW filter.
