Has anyone tried using oversized oil filters on the 1.8T? ...
Mainly in order to increase the filtering efficiency as well as to increase the overall (very small to begin with) oil sump capacity?
I know there is an OEM filter (PN# 068 115 561E) out there, which is slightly larger than the stock filter. Is there enough space to fit it in? Anyone tried?
Thanks!
By the way, here's what some vwvortex people have come up with on their 1.8Ts, although their engine layout is different so maybe they have more room to play with:<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=691260">http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=691260</a</li></ul>

If I drain all of my oil out from my 1.8T, then unscrew the oil filter, will it pour out of the hole
