I always use an HP1 filter as well but I'm thinking of switching to
Purlolator -- that's what the Jetta and Passat get (the expensive
version).  Never, ever, had one blow.  30mm oil pump.  I run 20W/50 Mobil
1 pure synthetic motor oil all year.  When I had my STOCK automatic T3 I
used what the owners manual recommended, straight 30 weight conventional
oil.  She ran like a champ, too!
