I just noticed the difference between a mobil1 filter and a kandn which was shorter by a good inch. Oil runs hotter with the shorter filter but that may just be random chance and seasonal change. Going to switch back to the Mobil in a little while and see if that changes. I like the higher temps I am seeing with the shorter filter. Could be seasonal though.

Why not just use OEM filters ? ,I do that will all my VAG cars and never had an issue,I use the larger capacity OEM ones on T4 and my 911 motor in my 73 914. My experience overfilling a T4 resulted in excessive fuming and oil burning..not good,with a 911 it is even worse as you as you can blow seals and the motor will smoke continually and not just on cold start which to a point is normal. |
