[eng.] Oil filter Q and misc. lube

[Cmr446@cs.com]

  Earlier posts said something about FRAM oil filters falling apart and 
letting filter particles run through the engine. Admitedly I've been running 
thier Tuf Guard for years now. I'm of the school of thought that while OEM 
filters are good, the higher priced (as opposed to cheaper) aftermarket 
filters are better in that the mfr will get what they can that's cheap to 
procure, as effective as aftermarket filters or worse, with a higher price 
tag. So my question is, are the VW OEM oil filters better, or is there a 
better aftermarket filter?  Is there an online report of comparisons? 
   Also, what's a good lube for the speedo cable? Previous experience: gear 
lube- look, barely moves; WD-40 -quiet..nope, it's back.  Should I just get a 
syringe and drip motor oil in? ATF? 

  
  HAPPY NEW YEAR and TIA
