Oil filter Mann or VALVOLINE

Liqui Moly oil and Mann filters. You can buy kits or piece them out. Topside oil changes are easy; skip the jack. It's a 32 mm socket for the filter.

I try and buy MANN oil filters when I can. A mechanic told me that at least on the old Volvo I once owned (92’ Volvo 940 sedan) MANN oil filters have an extra oil passage within the filter and that they are superior. I would assume this is true for the rest of their products.

Personally the only filter I’d use is Mann. K&N air filters suck definitely wouldn’t trust them with an oil filter.

I've always used Mann or Hengst oil filters.

I always do Mann filters when available like temporary-republic-6 said it is the OE filter. Also some independent companies have cut and tested different filters and found Mann has the largest filtering surface. I been using mann for roughly 20 years now.

Even tried different filters (Fram, Mann, etc.). It is slighly quieter with thinner oil.

Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.
