Great! I got the B243 with 8psi bypass. I guess I'm good to go!

Baldwin filters are a high quality product. Depending on how you look
things up you will get different filter numbers for the application. The
B243 is probably the best choice for the Waterboxer as the bypass valve is
only 8psi. This is a commonly used filter. Using the filter cross reference
you may get the B178 listed. With a 30 psi bypass you may get oil
starvation during cold starts or when the filter loads up.  As our engines
often have trouble maintaining oil pressure you need to be careful with the
higher bypass setting.

Anyone ever hear of these, or use one on their vanagon? Performance?

Thanks,
