About six months back, I tried the oil filler cap test, and the engine
died...tried it just last week, and it ran fine.  Spit out a little oil,
doesn't have the inside shield, but didn't skip a beat.  The only difference
was the oil filter, VW/Audi now, FRAM then.  Everything else was the same,
running Mobil 1.  What is your experience with oil filters on the 20v.  Is
it pretty much accepted that the Mahles are the best?
