> switch to 10w30 or 5w30 in winter.

I have heard from more than one VW mechanic to never use 10w30 in any VW
engine, if I remember correctly the cause of some of the oil pressure
problems was 10w30.  I run 10w40 in the winter and 20w50 in the summer
with a Mahle or Mann filter.

BTW Fram sells the same filter for the Golf/Jetta motor as the
Wasserboxer.  This is the WRONG filter, don't use it.  Mann and Mahle
have unique filters for the Vanagon and the Golf/Jetta, the Vanagon
filter does not have the valve at the top of the can.  The correct Mahle
filter is the OC-108, I don't remember the Mann PN but it too does not
have this valve.
