Default Oil change 3.0T Oil filter warning

Just a heads up if you do your own oil changes. I ordered a Bosch oil filter for the 3.0T and they sold me the wrong filter. I have a 2015. It’s about 2” longer than the stock one and doesn’t fit. I even entered my vin on their website and it lists the wrong one as the correct one.

Not sure if they changed something mid year but wanted to save someone else the same headache. Most websites have both the correct one and the incorrect one listed for this car and doesn’t differentiate between them.

I've purchased MANN and Hengst filters and they've been a perfect fit.
