Oil filter Mann or VALVOLINE

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.

I was getting the low oil pressure warning on my 2012 Passat. 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.

I've used the Mann HU 719/6X filter for our Mk5 2.5L engines for more than a decade, without issues. Personally I'd shy away from Fram, at least for these cars -- I've heard bad things about failures.

The Mann its OE and has been working fine for years now.

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?
