Oil filter Mahle or OEM Honda

I’ve picked up parts for my Acty off the shelf at my local Honda dealer on more than one occasion. They use the same Honda OEM oil filters that can be picked up anywhere. The Actys also share a ton of common parts with US sold Hondas of the same era. I’ve had zero issues finding parts for my Actys and often times the parts are inexpensive

I drive a Honda diesel in the UK. No matter where I look (although I don't look for big drums) oil plus filter is about $100 for me to buy and fit. My village shop would charge less but they wouldn't use the correct grade of oil and probably not a genuine filter.

Just a regular Honda PLM filter. Engine was designed with that filter in mind. Still under warranty as well, rather use oem.

I had an e90 with the n52 engine. When i first got the car i installed a Mahle filter that fit. After a bit of driving the engine started making weird noises, similar to vacum leaks. And I did som research. Apperantly my experiance was common with "aftermarket" oil filters. Switched to Mann filter on my next oil change, specificaly the same variant as the right one in your picture. The problem disappeared instantly. Also the Mahle filter had kind of colapsed in on itself.

I have no problem with using a Bosch, MAN, Mahle as long as it’s a good brand.

I always use the OEM Honda oil Filter.

MAHLE is the OE supplier for the Hyundai/KIA filter you're trying to get.

Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.

and don't use store bought oil filters unless they sell Mahle or Mann.

Cap was really stuck when taking it off initially. Also required Some force to get back on. When I first just installed new filter I got yellow oil light, still not great. Also noticed oil coming from gap between ofh and cap. And a drip from the top socket end. So end conclusion, mahle oil filters suck
