Is there any reason not to use a VW diesel oil filter on a gas
Vanagon (it should fit...)?  I recall hearing of this practive by
performance guys on early A1 cars to increase the total oil
capacity and provide better filtration, so I suppose it shouldn't hurt
on the w/b engine either?
I need to stock up on filters, and it would be much simpler if I could
just buy one type of filter (Bosch most likely) to use on my Jetta
TD and Vanagon.

Any thoughts?
