Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Been driving these cars for almost 20 years and have yet to find a compelling reason to not use Mann or Mahle filters for everything, at times a Hengst here and there. Not one quality issue yet.
Pros: no quality issues
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
Pros: perfectly fine, no oil pressure issues
Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!
Pros: easy to install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I have several VAG cars and perform changes at 5k, Liquimoly kits from FCP Euro, always use a quality OE filter such as Hengst, save your records and any reasonable buyer will understand.
Pros: quality OE filter
Mileage: 5000 km
First of all, change the brand of the oil filter and do the same test again. My recommendation is Hengst filters, same quality with Mann and Bosch, made in the same factory in Slovakia.
Pros: same quality with Mann
But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters
I have had good results with the Hengst. Recently ran a Hengst to 20,000 miles. It’s was a bit crispy but was doing just fine.
Pros: good results, 20,000 miles
Cons: a bit crispy
Mileage: 20000 km
It’s easy peasy to DIY at every OCI (5k mi or 6 mos whichever comes first, 2014 Mazda6 Touring 6MT). Been doing it, for decades (various makes; at times with an oil boy vacuum fluid extractor). Will be changing mine tomorrow. This time, will try Kirkland 0W20, with a German Hengst oil filter (identical dimensions/specs Made in Japan OEM Mazda PE01-14-302) plus Lubro Moly MoS2 (molybdenum).
Pros: easy to DIY, good quality
