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.

The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
Pros: perfectly fine, no oil pressure issues
I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.
Pros: problem literally solved
Cons: EPC would be nonstop

Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!
Pros: easy to install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Another Hengst filter?
But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters
Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.
Cons: oil leak, burning smell
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
