Dear Sean,

There is an oil filter that I saw on a Passat TDI that the owner insists
will enable the oil to last 60,000 miles (this car was in last weekend's
Litchfield Bug-in and I think he won first in his category). He changes his
"toilet-paper" filter every 3000mi (I think).

The link is here:

NOTE: While I haven't yet purchased thone of these for any of my diesels,
I'm seriously considering it.

Cheers,
MJS
