Oil filter Hengst or Castrol
I use Pennzoil 0W-30 Euro Platinum, and a Castrol CAS3593 filter every time, and change my oil every 6000kms which is about 3728 miles. I have heard good things about the efficiency of the Castrol filters.
Use full synthetic Mobil one or Castrol Change every 7k miles. And the oil filter too.
That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28
Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
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.
Yes, Castrol gtx and a KN oil filter
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
Buy an OEM filter and the top spec Castrol/your chosen top tier brand.
Another Hengst filter?
