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.
Owner reviews for oil filter
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.
Atat m-a costat pe mine revizia la a mea :))
Der 5er bei mir kriegt immer 0W-30 Shell Ultra Helix samt Ölfilterwechsel.
Kaufe ausschließlich Markenfilter, BOSCH oder Mann. Was anderes kommt mir nicht ins Auto. Und ein kurzer Ölwechsel-Intervall (10-15k) ist auch nicht schlecht für die Gesundheit des Autos. Am Öl und Ölfilter sollte man nie sparen, die potentiellen Folgekosten sind einfach zu krass.
I use the K&N 170 on my 1999 883C, have for years. Not sure why Amazon is saying "not for your model", I've literally been using it for the last 16 years and 70,000 miles, and have ordered 6 of them from Amazon over that time period.
Mann 925/4x is the right one for a M52 & M54, ive been using exactly that for all my E36/E46 for years.
The A02 oem Honda filter is made by the same company that makes FRAM filters, Under the blue paint, it is identical to the FRAM/Honeywell Tough Guard filter Line. Decent filter. Def better options available though.
K&N is probably the most annoying with the rounded off nut they expect you to use to get the filter off. I'll never buy one of those again.
Cap was really stuck when taking it off initially. Also required Some force to get back on. When I first just installed new filter I got yellow oil light, still not great. Also noticed oil coming from gap between ofh and cap. And a drip from the top socket end. So end conclusion, mahle oil filters suck
