Oil filter Fram or Mann
I use a FRAM filter for my civic.
I use my own oil from Walmart. Supertech Advanced Mileage and a Fram Ultra Filter.
As far as filters: Mann. If it's isn't Mann I won't put it in my car.
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 seen Fram oil filters cause this, but in your photo, it appears you have a black Mann/Mahle/Bosch/VW filter on it
Yeah, their not the best, unfortunately there the only one besides OEM for my Motorcycle
Fram filters are trash. I bought a fram for a new engine and upon fire up the lifters would clatter while it refilled the filter.
Fram made my oil light indicator flicker every time I turned from a stop.
