I second the motion about using only VW oil filters. After having a non-VW
filter burst on my vehicle on the highway in the dead of winter, I use VW
oil filters exclusively. Speaking of winter, VW dealers in my part of Canada
are recommending (and using) 5W30 oil. Depends how cold it gets in your
area.
