<P>Sorry, but who cares if they're the best? If they're not the right oil pressure (what was that figure?) and don't have the bypass filter or what ever that thing is (you know the thing that if you blow into the filter you can't blow air through it) then what good is it? [I know this all vague but what do you expect from an early case of dementia?]. Mann and Mahle and nothing else, unless its a another car. </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I finally found a source for these filters, in Canada at least:
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Acklands has them as follows:
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;B114 oil filter for diesel $7.12
<DIV></DIV>&gt;B243 oil filter for W/B $6.98
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Prices are in CDN $, and they offer a discount if you have a
<DIV></DIV>&gt;charge account. I'm planning to open a charge account first,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;then order some, so I'll let you know how they compare with the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Bosch &amp; VW OEM I'm using now.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I believe Baldwin are the OEM for Amsoil filters, which along
<DIV></DIV>&gt;with PureOne and Mobil1 are supposed to be the best
<DIV></DIV>&gt;available, but Baldwin is the only one with a size to fit the VW
<DIV></DIV>&gt;diesel.========================
