Re: Diesel Oil Filter?

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

...but don't believe a thing FRAM tells you. You can use the filter on
most models with no problems: however, the power steering hoses (on
models so equipped) can cause some headache when aligning the threads.
The heat exchanger/oil cooler puts the filter so much lower in the car
and closer to the front cross member (on the Scirocco) I can't get all my
digits on the thing.
