Oil filter Mann or AC DELCO

I do every 3-5k miles, with Mann oil filter, both o rings, drain plug and washer, 7 quarts of 5w-40 liqui moly Leichtlauf High Tech oil.

I have used Mann Filters and Valvoline European 5w40 since new. I have gotten the OCI dialed in at 6500 miles.

I found a shelf full of Made in Germany Mann oil filters for my BMWs that is OE for the N55, N54, N52, N20 engine that were 80% off and ran up as $2.78 each. I cleared cleared the shelf full of those filters.. And i also found a new starter for my NA miata $11 that I was planning to replace . It was 95% off.

I replaced the Mann filter on my Golf 6. It was easy to install and the quality is excellent.

Use Mann. They are cheap too. OE.

Use Mann filters, they are the best.

Mannol 7715 5W-30 from Germany and Mann Filters.

I use these Mann filters. Guaranteed to fit:

AC Delco oil filters are now all made in China (but they won't confirm nor deny this), so they have a single package for all markets they serve.

Absolutely not normal for 3k miles looks to be oem/ Mann filter but makes no sense to be collapsed already, did you do the oil change yourself or bring it somewhere to get done 3k ago? Also do not use that k&n keep it Mann
