Owner reviews for oil filter

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

have used them with excellent results 90k on my 2003 jetta 1.8T only castrol 5W-40 syntec and mobile 1 filters. my engine is as clean as new on the inside. they filter down to 5 micron or so. also if you look inside of the mobile 1 filter it will have a valve or check ball like the factory uses.

My Honda guy says to use Mobil 1, OEM filter and change every 5k.

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.

They're on the high end, though not the absolute best, in terms of the length of filter material/number of pleats. The construction quality is good - all metal and rubber, no cardboard. The cans are tough as hell.

I've been running K&N oil filters on my racecar for the better part of 4 years now - same engine, no rebuilds but I perform very regular maintenance. I regularly change the oil at the beginning of every season and proceed to thrash the crap out of my 1.8l 16v for about 1300 miles (most at or around the redline). I haven't had any ill effects due to low filtration, high pressure, low pressure, drain back, etc - all this on an engine that is six seasons old!!

I put one in the Passat a few months ago just for the sake of a better engineered product. It was a cold night for my turbocharged engine, so any greater power I felt I'm sure was imagined. Don't count on it. Just do it for a better quality filter that lasts longer.

I've used them for the past couple of years on my 'tique. No problems at all. I like them.

hp-2005 will not fit my car. discount auto parts sold that to me after looking in their "data bases". it was wrong though because when i got home and went to do the change, naw. im a 1995 if that helps you out at all. the hp-2005 isnt cartridge type like i/we need
