I have been using Purolater Pure One on all my VWs for a while.  I used to use
Fram, these have a bit better specs on a couple fronts.  I'd still use a Fram
or Bosch, if that's what I had on the shelf.  They're all pretty good,
nowadays.

Filters and oils are so much better than they were 30 years ago, it's almost
astonishing.

difference between these and the Bosch? What is everyone out there using? Opinions and experiences greatly appreciated.
