They have a display with a Wix, a Fram and a Champ filter cut open for inspection. The Wix is better constructed, and has more filter media than either of the others. I have opened up a Purolater filter, and the Wix was nicer than that one, too. The Wix also has the drainback valve in the Audi application. Most aftermarket filters use the same application for the VW 8-valve engines as for my 5-cyl 4kcsq, but not Wix. I have been using Wix for over a year, and have had no problems. (I never had problems with the others, though.) I will continue to use the Wix based upon my visual inspection, availability, and cost. The Wix cost no more than the Purolater or the Fram, here.
