Oil filter Mann or AC DELCO

Liqui Moly oil and Mann filters. You can buy kits or piece them out. Topside oil changes are easy; skip the jack. It's a 32 mm socket for the filter.

I try and buy MANN oil filters when I can. A mechanic told me that at least on the old Volvo I once owned (92’ Volvo 940 sedan) MANN oil filters have an extra oil passage within the filter and that they are superior. I would assume this is true for the rest of their products.

Personally the only filter I’d use is Mann. K&N air filters suck definitely wouldn’t trust them with an oil filter.

I've always used Mann or Hengst oil filters.

I always do Mann filters when available like temporary-republic-6 said it is the OE filter. Also some independent companies have cut and tested different filters and found Mann has the largest filtering surface. I been using mann for roughly 20 years now.

Have you considered checking oil pressure regulating valve? In the past I have replaced pretty undamaged filters when I did oil changes. But for the last three years I get crushed filters out of the housing.

I can also attest, Mann filter only. I have no idea why, I believe my first motor seized due to collapsed oil filter
