I ordered from ECS Tuning - Got 5 qts of Mobil 1 ESP, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, DSG filter, magnetic oil drain plug for $100 shipped. All Hengst or Mann filters.
Pros: good price, quality filters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mann, or Hengst filters are usually what I use, I don't have anything bad to say about them. Quality filters.
Pros: quality filters
Mann, Mahle and Hengst are OE. Mann is my personal choice.
Pros: good quality
I've used the spec Motorcraft filter (820S), and Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic oil EVERY TIME. This truck has been an absolute beast, and dead nuts reliable.
Pros: dead nuts reliable
Vehicle:
Ford
Part number: 820S
I ran Mobil 1 filters on my '05 Xterra because I picked up several M1 oil change specials at one of the parts stores and found the truck sounded better at idle so I kept using them.
Pros: sounded better at idle
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mobil 1 M1-108's for the Infiniti/my wife's Legacy. And the Extended Performance oil along with it. Been doing slightly extended drain intervals on multiple vehicles for close to 15 years with no ill effects. Valvetrains are exceptionally clean on any of the previous vehicles where i've pulled the covers.
Pros: exceptionally clean valvetrains, no ill effects
Vehicle:
Infiniti
Part number: M1-108
Now with my '06 Mini R53 which is canister style, I mostly use Mann because I like the design better than OE.
Pros: like the design better
Vehicle:
MINI
That M1 filter looks like the same media as every other filter I've ever seen on an FSI. The funny looking seal on the ends is useless since it's bathed in oil anyway. The only seal that matters is the one that sits in the housing and since I've never seen it leak I'd say that one is a waste of money
Cons: useless seal design
I use Mobil 1 oil and Mobil 1 filter. I may go with the K&N filter from time to time. Quaker State and Fram filters are the last thing I would use. Quaker State conventional at least, nearly ruined my Dad's '68 Plymouth Sport Fury. Fram filters are cheap, using a metal crimp to hold the filter together, this crimp often does not close off the filter leaving a large hole for particulates to pass through freely.
Cons: cheap, large hole for particulates
