Heads up! What you think is an oil filter on the drivers' side is the FUEL filter! Which you should change every 30k. NAPA has 'em, as well as the sources below.

The OIL filter is on the passenger side of the block. You can get it at NAPA, but their's is awful - the o/p light stays on for 10 seconds at startup. Mann is the best - get 'em at www.ips-parts.com or www.germanfilters.com . If there's a local VW shop, they should have 'em, the engine is a VW, and the filter for some VW & Audi is what you need.

DON'T YOU DARE USE 15W40!!! It is way too thick! 10W30 is what you need, and I recommend a synthetic.
