Owner reviews for oil filter

My '94 Celica with 256k miles never knew it to be true. Good ol' Fram orange is pretty much all I've ever used, though I did switch to the "high mileage" ones somewhere around 225k. That's what's on there right now.

OEM toyota oil filters for my vehicle. They're like $5 from the toyota dealership, and worth it.

I used the Mann 950/4 on my 1.8t and sent my oil out for analysis to Blackstone labs. They reported that the filtration level for that filter was superior.

K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n

I always use Mann as well with no issues.

My g/f and I use Mann filters in both our GTIs and never had any issues.

I had this very same problem with my golf. Replaced both oil pressure sensors....nothing. Did an oil change....nothing. Replaced the instrument cluster....nothing. I was about to pull the pan off the motor to check for clogging on the screen or if the pump was faulty when I thought about an engine flush. I did just that, new 10w40 oil and mann filter and problem solved.

I ordered and received a bunch of maintenance items for the Van. But I plan to cover: Fuel lines (finally) Trans Filter/Flush Rear Diff Gasket and fluid Headlight Relay Kit Dual Washer nozzles Upper Ball Joints Lower Ball Joint Repack the front bearings SST Brake lines 4 corners 15W-50 Mobile 1Oil and new Mahl/Mann filter With the above it should be good for another year of backup use.

I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.

I've used the larger oil filter for a couple changes and have gone back to the smaller stock filter for one reason. The drain-back valve on the diesel filter didn't work nearly as well as the valve on the smaller stock filter. I'd get a little valve rattle at startup with it which was noisy and embarassing to put it mildly. It did this consistently while the larger filter was used over 3 oil change intervals. Back to the stock filter now and all is silent.
