NAPA oil filter

I had my oil changed at a place called Importsplus automotive. Everyone there was cool and I read good things about the shop online. I got home and lifted the hood just to check the oil level again just to make sure it was correct, only because I know what a pain in the **** our dipsticks are to read, and I look down and there is a NAPA filter. Should i be mad or does NAPA make quality filters. Also how many quarts does the 3.0 take it seemed like a lot.

Does K&N make a higher capicity filter for our cars? I looked at the K&N but it was still the same size as the old outdated filter.

Yeah use Mann or Meyle, or whatever the dealer has... They are the larger ones that Audi recomends for better oil circulation and capacity... If you got a Napa oil filter, its the wrong size. I made that mistake my first oil change. Unless Napa has started stocking the updated oil filter within the past 5 months?
Oh wait i just realized you have a 3.0.. I dont think anything i said applies to you. Sorry![&:]

RE: NAPA oil filter

yeah I am in columbus. I called napa and acted like I needed a filter and they did have one so atleast its the correct size, I think i will just leave it on until the next oil change.
