Oil filter Mann or Wix

I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.

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

Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.

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

I use liqui molly and Mann filter every 6k miles on mine.

Mann 816x is the only thing I would use.

You wouldn't believe the damage I have seen from Chinese oil filters. A few months back, my buddy brought in his 528i with Vanos codes. The Chinese oil filter had torn and allowed unfiltered oil to plug up the vanos screens, vanos solenoids, and caused bearing damage. The oil was filled with engine glitter. I only use Mann or BMW.

I've used Fram, Supertech, Denso, O'Reilly or Autozone store brands, WIX.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w/20 with Wix/Napa Gold filters. -been relentless about 5k services, @45k now.

-just received my first ever Blackstone Lab analysis, TBN numbers were still extremely good. Blackstone advised me to push my next service to 7500 miles.

-the oil that was sampled, was still a very light Carmel color - I feel guilty throwing away oil that still looks this good

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

my car balloons WIX filters, and it only goes as high as 120psi..
