Im actually about to do an oil change also. 2 questions....
1) Ive searched all over the site, everyone says get a "bigger" oil filter (mann or mahle or kn), but I dont exactly know what this means, does anyone have a link or part number to some ones you know are good?
2) Last time I got it changed by this old russian race car driver who owns a shop and does european cars in the area (crazy bastard) and put 15W50 mobile 1 full synth in without telling me before, and said it was great.... never heard ofthis, I was planning on changing to 5w40 mobile 1 full synth. good idea, other reccomendations?

 

I've wondered this for a while, and it's related to this topic so I'll ask it here. if I go to the VW dealer and ask for a filter for a 1.8T passat, obviously that filter will work on my A4 but will that be a "big" filter or a "small" filter? how will I know what the "big" filter looks like?

 

This is the Audi/VW part # that you should be looking for:
