Oil filter Mann or K&N

I've been using Mann filters, have been to last 9 years.

we could just use the **proper OEM standard** Mann oil filter on an *s engine* to avoid filter collapse

I\u2019ve used a Mann filter for my vehicle and change it out every 2500 miles and it comes out pristine!

I replaced the Mann filter on my Golf 6. It was easy to install and the quality is excellent.

It’s the bigger filter recommended for the Audi/vw 1.8t to prevent sludge buildup.

Öl wechselt man immer mit dem passenden Filter, siehe Mann Filter Katalog (KBA auswählen)

I use Mobil 1 0w40 (24.99 for 5qts at walmart) and stocked up on Mobil 1 and Mann oil filters for 2.00/each when all the Advance Auto Parts Stores closed on the west coast

Engine carbon cause the dirty looking oil no filter can get rid of the carbon color and I don't wait 5000 miles I change every month but put on 500 km every week highway also your oils detergents could have cleaned some crap from engine I would do a change sooner myself am switching to Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w 30 and k&n gold for maximum flow rate/ oil pressure and 30 micron rating (70 micron is human hair) year round I've got about 335,000 km on Buick Lucerne 3800 series and aiming for 500,000 I used wix XP for years bought bulk from rockauto and got carbon black every change including my ram1500 only 150,000 km highway

I can also attest, Mann filter only. I have no idea why, I believe my first motor seized due to collapsed oil filter

Absolutely not normal for 3k miles looks to be oem/ Mann filter but makes no sense to be collapsed already, did you do the oil change yourself or bring it somewhere to get done 3k ago? Also do not use that k&n keep it Mann
