Motomaster are FRAM filters, and the motomaster supreme are the fancy FRAM filters. Neither of these are very highly regarded for poor pressure relief & anti-drainback valves and low filtering surface area compared to Bosch/Mann/VW filters. I have also experienced lower hot oil pressure conditions on several VWs when using FRAM/Motomaster filters compared with Bosch/VW (with pressure gauge).
