Take a look at this thread, this was the results from my car with Millers XF longlife oil and OEM VAG oil filter.
The oil was actually CLEANER for being in my engine for 6,000 miles than it was when it came out of the factory, FACT.
Now, I don't know anything about the K&N filter but I have been in hydraulics for 14 years. You cannot get increase flow and filtration. Increase fitlration will give you a bigger back pressure, increase flow can only be created by filtering with bigger meshed elements, therefore less filtering.
I know, but if you don't have a VAG dealership anywhere near you then obtaining an OEM one is a PITA! I buy my oil and filters from Opie Oils, and I've used the K&N ones too, never had a problem, never used OEM ones for years either!
