Air filter Mann or Wix

Mann, Mahle, and Hengst are the three biggest BMW OE air filter manufacturers. They all make a good filter.

That one doesn\u2019t look too bad and it\u2019s a Mann filter. They\u2019re your go to brand for air, cabin, oil and fuel filters\u2026\u2026 they make them for bmw, bag and a bunch of others.

Wix air, oil, and cabin air filters are my go to. I get them in bulk from rock auto. I usually fill with mid grade gas, buying premium is usually more than a dollar over regular per gallon and it does not make up for it in better mileage. The new gen 4 coyote is not e85, they have no yellow indicator and do not have the ability to account for it. The gen 3 coyotes, between 2018? Or 2020 to 2023 had some oil burning issues due to the cylinder walls and mismatched pistons. It happened when they changed factories from Germany to the US. The transmissions prior to the 2023 update have a high rate of failure. Post 2023 they fixed them. My recommendations for trucks is to go with a 2024 or later model of whatever sort you're looking for, they have the gen 4 coyote, the fixed 10r80, and a refreshed design for the bumpers, headlights, and all the computers.

Just get the same MANN C22018 filter... It's $20

Like all diesels, they're all about air flow, so only use the big German air filters by Mann or Mahle in it. The more air you feed it, the better it will run.

Go with Wix if you care about air filtration. I haven't heard of any brand that beats Wix in that regard, for both intake or cabin filters.

Buy an aftermarket dry filter (Mann, Filtron etc.) and install that.

I had on in my BRM, it was there when I got it. I didn\u2019t have any issues or dirty getting by. I just had to clean it more often because of the EGR valve.

Just received the wix from them the other day myself.

Was disappointed how crushed and uneven the pleats were. Shipping damage? Maybe. The box was in good shape.

I think I installed a "purlator one" last time but it was $16 off Amazon. I feel the build quality was better and honestly I should have looked before ordering. It was installed in 2023 but looked almost new coming out. This is my wife's car and it only gets maybe 5000 miles a year or less on it at the moment.

Next time I'll try denso after the feedback I keep seeing on Reddit and elsewhere for Honda parts.
