Oil filter Fram or Mann

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.

I stick with a winner. Mann filters and Mobil1.

I also change it every 3,000- 3,500 miles and use the Fram Tough Guard oil filter. it's all i have and i gotta keep it clean.

I think the OEM filters are the best there is. Mann Filters – GTI 1.8t (OEM Supplier) • Oil Filter (W 719/30) – 9 micron filtration at 99.5 – 99.9% efficiency - By-pass valve opens at 2.5 bar = 36.3 psi - Cellulose treated with chemical – no fiberglass filters allowed in Germany - Long-life filter – has recently been greatly improved to allow VW/Audi’s extended drain intervals

I only use Mann Oil Filters on my car since 55 miles (currently 68k+). 6000 mile intervals for my Mobil 1 Synthetic oil change. Blackstone Labs recommended I use the oil for even more miles.

Oil filter Mann/Mahle NOT Fram... much better quality than fram.

the fram's are junk for the VR, the flow(filtering ability) may be different and the pressure valve in the filter is funky(if it has one I can't remember).

my oil filter housing is leaking profusely from the big O ring again. Has this happened to any of you. What would cause this? Could it be oil filter failure? I only have 1,000 on it since the last change and it happened last time with the same brand of filter (Fram). Any reason for this leak besides it being Fram
