The engine was built up with forged Mahle pistons and forged Pro Engineering rods, all new bearings, seals, gaskets, plus miscellaneous other little upgrades
Choose a Mahle. Their plastic quality seems to be quite good in the long term and the molding looks and feels premium.
I personally use Mahle LAK 888 on my Jetta mk7. No regrets. Great choice.
I own a f30 (330d) and have done my own oil changes for the past 9 years and change oil every 7k miles. I started out using 0w-20 oil till around 60k mileage. I then switched to 5w30 from 60k mileage for engine longevity. I’ve always used Mahle filters on my car. Mann and Bosch are good alternatives to use too. As my F30 sits quite low I have always jacked it off the ground so I can get access to the sump plug. Also remember to change the washer from the sump plug during every oil change.
4,6 Liter LM TopTec 4200 (Gebinde von 5 Litern ca. 40 bis 50 Euro), Ölfilter Mahle OC456 ca. 13 Euro, Dichtring für die Ölablassschraube
You can buy a Mahle/Iskra alternator which is designed as a direct replacement. They are their own design.
Brand new Mahle fuel filter
Thermostat and temp sensor were just replaced with OE Mahle/Behr. P0128 showed up after car didn’t get up to temp. Heat is slightly affected until reaches operating temp.
After an oil change, the car shot most of the oil out from the filter. I installed a brand new Mahle filter, tightening it snug. After a short drive, it again shot all the oil out of the filter, with the gasket forced to the outside.
I have an F150 with a Mahle valve cover gasket leaking with under 50k mi on it.
