It might be worth noting here that the Bosch filters sold in the U.S. are NOT the same as the Bosch filters sold in many other parts of the world. In many countries Bosch sells a German made, OE quality filter for the Vanagon. But in the U.S., they simply re-label a non-OEM U.S. made filter and sell it as a Bosch. For this reason, I ship only Mann and Mahle, which are both the correct OEM filters with the correct anti-drainback valve. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc.
