Motomaster are FRAM filters, and the motomaster supreme are
the fancy FRAM filters. Neither of these are very highly regarded
for poor pressure relief & anti-drainback valves and low filtering
surface area compared to Bosch/Mann/VW filters.
I have also experienced lower hot oil pressure conditions on
several VWs when using FRAM/Motomaster filters compared with
Bosch/VW (with pressure gauge).
