Oil filter Fram or K&N

i've used the fram 2870a for many years(i had a '79,'84,and '99)in all of my 4cyl VW's-i never had a problem with them.

I used this filter for continuously my 83 Audi coupe. i did 4 oil changes a year until she finally died back in January. I had this car for 8 years 160 000km. Never once did I have any sort of oil-related problem.

Been using K&N filters on my 1.8t's with Royal Purple Oil. The two combined seems to leave very little to almost no build up of metal particles on my magnetic drain plug.

I've been using them for over 10 years and my motor runs like a top.

I got a Hengst Oil filter and two Mann Oil filters. I prefer to use K&N Oil filters. Right now I'm using a Fram.

Yes, the Mobil1-301, the Mann W940/25, the Purolator L30257, and the Fram PH3569 are all equivalent in capacity (though most people say the Fram is not equivalent in quality).

Fram filters do NOT have an anti drain back valve in them.

If you heard strange noises, then you must have been using FRAM

my experience was on my monte carlo ss, the oil pressure flickered and went through the roof, something happened with the filter and almost caused me to blow my motor, i tried another one for about an hour or so and sure enough it happened again. changed to a different brand, worked fine. my buddies dad who is an avid car collector and builds race cars told me after the incident occured that those filters are crap.

Fram makes a decent filter for everone else but not for VWs. Something about the cold start bypass valve not working well, or something.
