Default Paging Audi Junkie, or any other filter smart people.

Gotta do a LOF on the A4, and kind of wanted to do it tonight.

I have the oil. Between here and my house is an Autzone.


Do they have a decent filter, and if so, who makes it and which one?

Isn't there an issue with that filter bypassing all the time or did they fix it?

Default Do they sell WIX filters? or is there a well stocked NAPA near you?....

Get a napa 1333 or WIX 51333 (same thing)
They are GIGANTIC (yes they fit though). Its what I ran, increased capacity by more than a 1/2 qt.

Oh and the pressures are the same also, Where I used to work had the BIG catalogue with all specs.
and there is plenty of "media" in the filter, ive cut open ever one ive used, OEM, fram, WIX, big WIX/Napa...

Fram is the worst filter on the market you could buy.

I never had a problem with the small or large one they had for the 1.8t.

BOSCH Premium (Filtech) #3500 is the big one, #3421 is the smaller. Puralator L30257 is good too.
