motor oil: Valvoline 20W50 dinosaur oil with a Mahle filter
I personally used the small Mann filter for 100k miles and now am using the bosch.
Filters, I'm parcial towards Mann products, if you can find them. Never a problem with Wix.
Is the Mann W940/25 roughly equivalent to the Mobil 1-301 in capacity?
im EXTREMELY pleased with the oil filter. reason being.. my oil light has not come on and not buzzed at all! The oil buzzer has caused me the biggest headache for months which may have been from using bosch filters but i used a mann filter (i believe the oem) and it has still managed to buzz in the past. I dunno i guess this mann filter is the solution to that annoying light/buzzer
Use a bosch or a Mann oil filter for an 8v gasser engine.
I've used both Hengst and Mann over the years and never had a problem with either. Although I've noticed the Mann filters seem to look a little more "used" when the come out for some reason.
I'd go for the Mahle or VW oil filter. Most aftermarket filters (Not sure about K&N) dont' have the check valve thingy in them...it's good for a few psi if I recall correctly...
I stick with a winner. Mann filters and Mobil1.
Anyhow I would be interested in going longer drain interval, so I think that I will check out these new products Mobil is offering. Although I think the Mahle filter that has been in use is filtering well enough and the price is right at $5.
