Oil filter Mann or OEM Mazda

Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.

Bought 2 x 20 litre drum of Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic LE SAE 5W-40 when the Caltex name left Australia & Ampol sold off all the left over Caltex oil cheap at Repco. $42 for 20 litres!!!!

I also use MANN W719/30. That filter is designed to go a longer interval and for synthetic oils.

New Mann oil filter

Mine was from May 2001, changed it out last year and it for sure made a difference.

wenn möglich Ölwechsel bei Mac Oil durchführen lassen, kostet je nach benötigtem Shell MotorÖl zwischen 50 und 80€ inkl. mann Ölfilter und zurücksetzen des Service, plus eintrag ins Scheckheft. dauert ca. 15 min reine Arbeitszeit und kann im Auto sitzen bleiben. unschlagbares Konzept.

As far as filters: Mann. If it's isn't Mann I won't put it in my car.

A vehicle engineer friend of mine recommended Motul X-Cess 8100 5w40 for my C43 (W205, M276) and a Mann HU 7025 Z filter.

some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut

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.
