Much as I love VW engineering, the oil filter arrangement is just obnoxious.
Other car makers use spin on filters, and their engines can run to 500,000k and more with no problem, so there cannot be a technical superiority of the cartridge system.

Also the cartridge filter is cheaper to make. Quite a few Japanese car manufacturers are now using cartridge filters.
