Oil filter Mann or OEM FORD

Oil Changes are done every 7,500km (VW calls for 15,000km). Always done with Fuchs/Liqui Moly/Motul full synthetic oil (5W-40) and MANN filter.

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.

Plus I've been told its a better filter typically from the dealer.

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

I've only ever used Mann filters and I still consistently get the oil pressure light. I suspect the last time I got an oil change the shop used 5w30 instead of 5w40 because it's been worse than ever for the last 6 months.
