I've used Mann, Mahler, Bosche, K&N, and Porsche filters and have seen no difference apart from K&N have a welded bolt on top to ease removal.
Replaced the NGK Iridium spark plugs, MANN engine filter and cabin air filter a week after getting the car and was easing it with E85 and fuel cleaners before that as the owner told me it was sitting around for a year. Very happy with its idle noise and freeway speeds (in Mexico of course).
I like the MANN filters
Use VW or MANN filters. They really aren't much more expensive.
I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.
the oil filters I've always used are MANN
The filter I got from the dealer was a Volkswagen/Mann filter.
it was the Oil filter cartridge o ring that had become hard and did not compress to seal the filter any longer. Getting the new one, a mobile 1 filter, I could immediately tell the difference. the new one was pliable and I could tell it would seal nicely. it did...no more leak. The car also had developed a slight stutter at idle. very sensitive, these cars. the stutter is gone too.
So glad I found this post! I was getting the low oil pressure warning on my 2012 Passat. It would go away after the car warmed up. I changed the oil, dropped the oil pan and cleaned it and the pickup tube. They were already in really good shape. I changed the oil filter too of course. Anyway the light isn't coming on at all now.
anyone know if the mahle's are still made in a decent place. no more mann filter on my car, at least not the chinese ones.
