Oil filter Mahle or Bosch

I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.

Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval

I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.

I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so

I use Mahle filters in both my VR6 and 2.5 from first oil change. No issues.

Mahle. Best pleat design I’ve seen and according to Volvo, their primary reason they selected Mahle over MANN or Hengst.

Engine oil: I use 10w40 in my rebuilt ABA/2H. No issues. I prefer Mahle filters.

Nothing special about it- it's one of the easiest cars I've changed oil on. As others have said, just stick to a good quality OEM-spec filter and full synth 0w-20 oil. And it does help to replace the drain plug washer every time, or else it has a tendency to have a few small drips on the plastic splash guard by the time you next change the oil.Most modern filters will have the anti- blowback valve that the OEM filters have. I use Bosch premium oil filters and Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 full synthetic.

After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
