Oil filter Mann or Motorcraft

this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.

As Epic said, ive run Mann filters on my 944.

Mann W71922 is a perfectly good filter and readily available, and the Mahle OC46 for the 928 will fit a 944, it's just taller. Also should be readily available.

If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.

Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.

I use 10W/60 and change it out ever 5k. I also use MANN W 719/30 oil filters. They are designed for synthetic oils and longer oil changes.

Mann filter snapped firmly into place and felt really solidly built. Will be using this one from now on.

Can’t tighten these caps by hand as they need to be torqued down to spec. Also use OE Mann filters and gaskets as they will not leak.

Use a Mann oil filter and torque it properly... they shouldn't leak

I always thought the filter caught all of that stuff, I mean yea it got the bigger pieces but I wasn't expecting it to let all of that fine stuff through. Honestly makes me question how good the OEM Mann filters really are?
