who happens to have over 30 years of VAG experience and he said there is no way he can justify the price premium ($12 VS. $3) of a factory oil filter for people that change their oil regularly.

Default Buy the "VW filter" and it is $3 less than the exact same "Audi filter".

A nearby dealer carries both Audi & VW. The filter number is exactly the same but the "VW" filter costs less.
