> Re: oil filter application

       Thanks to all who responded to my query about which MAHLE filer is the 
right one for the 2.1 Vanagon engine.  The reason I asked was that I have a 
new supplier telling me that OC 47 is the right one.  Someone told me this 
was incorrect.  So I asked the List.  Everyone who responded said they are 
using OC 108.  Now the question is what's the difference ?  My supplier 
cannot get the OC 108, why ?  I don't know and neither does he !  So I went 
to the MAHLE website to see what they have to say.  Well, there's a lot of 
hubbub about how their filters are the best there is but nowhere on the site 
is an application chart or a listing of the differences between the OC 47 and 
the OC 108.  Any of you have some answers to these questions ?
Cheers��
