Hi All, I just read a post that advised against using common name brand oil filters for Vanagons, but I can't remember why that is. I compared a Pennzoil filter with an official VW/Audi filter (black with VW and Audi logos on it) a while ago, and they "looked" nearly identical. I haven't thought about this for a while, but I thought there was some kind of relief valve in the official filter? Thanks, James |
