Re: Good News... No lifter clatter

   FRAM filters are much better than the junk that you get from the local
Quicky Lube with paper filter elements, but the factory Audi oil filters are
MUCH better than the Fram ones.  I have had experience with both, and I truly
think the factory Audi ones are the best and the only ones to use on this car.
You want the one that say "For Turbo Audi" on it.  You can get them for like
$6-8 a piece from Blaufergnugen depending on how many you order.  Jim Blau
will back me up on this too.  There are a few manufacturers who make the OEM
Audi oil filters though.  I think Mann and Mahle are the most common.

   I just don't think Fram is real geared for Audis as thier oil filter guide
still lists 2 oil filters for an '87 5kt/tq!  You don't know how many people
this has screwed up.  And, it has been listed like this for a while.  I'm
still looking for that illusive second oil filter!  ;)

   As for the air filter, put in a K&N.  It's made of a gause compound and
flows much better and filters better too.  They also last for ever as you can
take them out and clean them.
