I just recently purchased a mahle oil filter and it is made in austria, good to hear good quality stuff is still available after mann has let me down.
The AEB's you supplied for my first motor held up fine for 50K+ miles. And the definitely saw 8K more than a few times.
ooooohhh thanks for the tip. oh yeah, mahle oil filter, new cable bushings, new rubber type valve cover gasket seal, valve cover gasket studs, dipstick bushings, oil, and myriad other things are waiting to go in...
I'll stick with the $200 Mahles.
motor oil: Valvoline 20W50 dinosaur oil with a Mahle filter
I'd go for the Mahle or VW oil filter. Most aftermarket filters (Not sure about K&N) dont' have the check valve thingy in them...it's good for a few psi if I recall correctly...
Anyhow I would be interested in going longer drain interval, so I think that I will check out these new products Mobil is offering. Although I think the Mahle filter that has been in use is filtering well enough and the price is right at $5.
I just bought 6 MAHLE filters for my 8v, at what I think is a damn good price. The guy I bought them from (a fellow Digifanter) says this brand is the OEM filters of the new VW/AUDI/SEAT cars in europe.
I already have a set of 83mm Mahle's for a 9A (20mm piston pin) and I'd like to use them since I feel my ABA block needs a cleanup job.
