OEM? Mann? Meyle? I know it isn't FRAM!

Default FRAM.
Not.

Mann or Mahle. I get mine from German Parts and Restoration. Blau has them too.

My last batch for the C4 cars was Mahle from Blau. I think I bought 10 of them.

Just remember: it's not an oil change, it's a FRAM oil change!

Default I use the NAPA Gold Filters. They are made by WIX and are their....
top of the line filter just rebranded with the NAPA name.

Don't get the silver....get the Gold.

Mann filters. I left one sitting out in my room and I heard more gay jokes than I can count.

Default MANN.........man....
Mahle are also good, VW/Audi are good (expensive)....your car is german, buy something that was designed for it.....Mann is the best priced out of the German filters...IMHO?

Or you could get the "Made in China" Audi OE ones.

Default Mahle or Mann, get the big one
for the newer 1.8ts and the car will take exactly 5qts of oil
