Oil filter Mahle or Bosch

Bosch oil filters. I used them to desludge 2 engines, and it CONSTANTLY keeps pulling more and more out. Only problem, they are black, so leak detection can be difficult if its in a tight spot.

I use Full Synth Royal Purple and a Bosch filter. I drive a 2002 S2K and the RP oil keeps the TCT noise in check.

royal purple, amsoil, k&N, mobil 1 extended, bosch long disance are good for more like 25k or 35k miles

5w50 castrol syntec and bosch filters what ever's on sale.

I like the Mahle filter because it has a notched end on it, no need for a filter wrench anymore.

I just recently purchased a mahle oil filter and it is made in austria, good to hear good quality stuff is still available after mann has let me down.

Bosch 72174 = BIG

I have used both of these with great results.

I just use Bosch

One lesson I learned when buying oil filters for the VR6 is to NOT buy a Bosch filter. Why? They are about $10 more, and when you pull it out of that pretty little Bosch box and look at the filter, it's a Hengst.
