Bosch has "globalized" their filters, so I won't use them anymore unless they clearly state "made in Germany" or I cannot get anything else. Stick with Mann or Hengst.

I second the recommendation for synthetic oil -- I've used nothing else for years, it works, and will in fact cure the rattling lifters on a 601 in conjuction with new o-rings on the oil fiter center bolt. Your's are probably rock hard, if they are there at all -- they are NOT in the filter kit, so no one every notices them!
