Lets see now Mahle filters $3.95 each from Bus Depot, 3000 miles between changes that would 20 filters to equal $80.00 that would be 60 thousand miles so at sixty thousand miles you might break even if you didn't have to buy Transco filters along with the kit. So to me that says bad deal it would take me five years to get my $80.00 investment back while still buying Transco Filters. The worst thing would be a bastard filter setup that I wasn't sure of. (and an oil pressure gauge from a FLAPS) If its made in China hand it back to them. Stick to Steward Warner, VDO, AutoGauge or quality known brand. I've got some gauges on my parts pages http://williamwareagency.com/forsale/stanvan/parts.htm Stan Wilder On Tue, 1 Jan 2002 21:36:46 -0800 developtrust <developtrust@HOME.COM> writes: > Has anyone on this list installed hte Trasco oil filter system on > their > Vanagon? http://trasko-usa.com/ > > I've been reading Stuart MacMillan's contribution on Tom's web page > http://volksweb.relitech.com/21rodbrg.htm > and I am very impressed with what I read.
