Quick question about Oil Filter change

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Within the last 3-4 months or so, they have made all the 1.8T Passats use
this filter, and also use synthetic.  They were having quite a coking
problem, but they only have 3.9 qrts capacity with the original filter.  The
Diesel filter increased capacity .7 qrts or so...

just fine, and lots
bigger too...my preferred filter.
