SV: Good News... No lifter clatter

[k.nielsen@olsy.dk (Kenn Thyrsted Nielsen)]

I have an '87 200 tq Avant. The engine IS an '87 and it does have 2
filters...

Some months ago i saw a post stating that using a diesel filter will
allow room for 1 extra quart.
Can't remember who wrote it, but it sounds like a good idea.
