Changed oil - it was about 7C today :)
I had been using 3569 filters - they're $3.24 at C-tire, and look decently made.
However, I found Bosch 72174 filters for about $5 and used one today.
It's BIG, and it's got a metal anti-drainback valve.
Found out about it from a TDI site, apparently the VW guys use it if they want a larger filter.
Seems well made based on the "filter bashing" web site standards.
I'll let you know how it goes. Might actually leave it on for a while.
