Reviews of Hengst oil filter

That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28

Haven’t had any issues with Hengst

Been driving these cars for almost 20 years and have yet to find a compelling reason to not use Mann or Mahle filters for everything, at times a Hengst here and there. Not one quality issue yet.

The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.

Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!

I have several VAG cars and perform changes at 5k, Liquimoly kits from FCP Euro, always use a quality OE filter such as Hengst, save your records and any reasonable buyer will understand.

First of all, change the brand of the oil filter and do the same test again. My recommendation is Hengst filters, same quality with Mann and Bosch, made in the same factory in Slovakia.

But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters

I have had good results with the Hengst. Recently ran a Hengst to 20,000 miles. It’s was a bit crispy but was doing just fine.

It’s easy peasy to DIY at every OCI (5k mi or 6 mos whichever comes first, 2014 Mazda6 Touring 6MT). Been doing it, for decades (various makes; at times with an oil boy vacuum fluid extractor). Will be changing mine tomorrow. This time, will try Kirkland 0W20, with a German Hengst oil filter (identical dimensions/specs Made in Japan OEM Mazda PE01-14-302) plus Lubro Moly MoS2 (molybdenum).
