Hey Guys,

Any suggestions on what oil filter to use / where to purchase them? This is for a stock '74 2.0.

Thanks,

Mike

OEM only--Mann, Mahle or Knecht. Carried by your favorite on-line sources, most Porsche specialty shops, the dealer (sometimes), and usually some VW specialty shops. I don't think any chain auto parts stores (ChAPS?) carry them. If you can't get OEM, Purolator is probably OK, but the OEM ones are preferred. Fram is junk IMHO and shouldn't even be used on your lawnmower. Or your Honda! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I buy in lots of six filters, and buy a new lot when I use the next-to-last or last one.
