Reviews of Mann oil filter

Bosch and Mann would be the original VW suppliers so you can source them cheaper .

The /30 is rated for 30,000 Km the older /5 was rated for 10,000 Km /30 uses synthetic fibers for longer lasting oil changes. /5 uses Paper fiber that does not last more than 10K. If you plan on changing your oil before 10,000Km you are ok using either one. I used to change my oil every 15,000 KM (back in 1993) using old /5 filter. I changed the filter half way through at 7000Km. Now with the new /30 filter I go full 15K on same oil filter.

My experience is similar - 231,500 km (146k miles) on my VR6, has run excellent, M1 10w30 and Mann filters about every 7500km. No internal work done on it.

I personally used the small Mann filter for 100k miles and now am using the bosch.

Filters, I'm parcial towards Mann products, if you can find them. Never a problem with Wix.

I just did a oil change and with EFL 5W40 and use the BIG Mann filter like usuall and realise that the oil as already become a bit blackish...

Is the Mann W940/25 roughly equivalent to the Mobil 1-301 in capacity?

im EXTREMELY pleased with the oil filter. reason being.. my oil light has not come on and not buzzed at all! The oil buzzer has caused me the biggest headache for months which may have been from using bosch filters but i used a mann filter (i believe the oem) and it has still managed to buzz in the past. I dunno i guess this mann filter is the solution to that annoying light/buzzer

Use a bosch or a Mann oil filter for an 8v gasser engine.

I've used both Hengst and Mann over the years and never had a problem with either. Although I've noticed the Mann filters seem to look a little more "used" when the come out for some reason.
