Hesitation.. Solved!

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (Larry)]

My conclusion is that the VW factory, the Bentley, and the filter
makers/sellers advise a very short replacement interval because they
A) don't have to buy and replace the damn things and/or
B) make money when YOU do.

That said, if frequent replacement helps avoid problems such as this on 1%
of our cars, maybe its worth it.

if it ain't broke....
