I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.
Owner reviews for oil filter
For filters I use Mahle, if I remember correct that is also the OEM supplier, but costs half what a BMW branded one costs.
I still recommend the OEM oil. I have a mechanic that let's me provide my own parts (if I wish) for a job at no cost. When he does my oil changes I provide the Motorcraft Oil and Oil Filter.
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.
use Mann filters from now on, can’t go wrong with them.
I like Valvoline Restore and Protect along with the OEM black filter. But also, if your washer fluid lights keeps coming on, just unplug it. It’s so much easier than trying to find an another bump in the road to purposefully drive over to turn off! \ud83d\ude02 some say you can fill your washer reservoir with white vinegar and clean the sensor, but it didn’t work for me.
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
Porsche? Because those filters are a pia.
Did an oil change on my dad's Yaris last year on the 1NZ-FE motor. Everything went well until I got to the oil filter. My dumbass confused clockwise and counterclockwise. So instead of losing it I was basically over tightening it to the point it got stuck.
