In my experience, you can't beat the filters that VW uses:  Bosch and
Mann.  I can get the oem Mann filters for my diesel for under ten bucks,
about the same price Napa charges for a Napa gold.  The German Mann
filters are much better.  Same with air filters.  A Fram filter has a
lot less media in it, I'd estimate 2/3 as much.

How about the diesel filter? They only list a regular Purolator
filter for the diesel, not a PureOne. Does anyone know if any
other PureOne sizes will work? (I even tried the Volvo TD
fitment, but they don't make a PureOne for it either).

I've been searching for a premium diesel filter for a while,
mostly the Baldwin brand, but can't find anyone that sells them
around here. Apparently they make a B114 oil filter to fit the
D/TD applications.========================
