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 have 234k miles on my 2016 Outback and I usually use Napa or O’Reilly house brand oil and either a Subaru or WIX filter.
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.
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 just did a oil change and with EFL 5W40 and use the BIG Mann filter like usuall and realise that the oil as already become a bit blackish...
The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
