I've only ever used mann, I'm sure they both work! I'm going to stick with what I know is perfect though.
Lol - there is a torque spec on the factory oil caps now 32mm socket @ 25Nm is all it needs. And yes I use my torque wrench every time on it I Only use Mann or OEM filters from the dealership. Not had a collapse.
I buy two 5L jugs and a MANN filter from FCP euro and use their lifetime warranty.
I just go to Walmart or Costco and pick up 5W30 and a filter on ebay or amazon (mann). As long as it's LL01 approved oil, it'll treat your engine right.
For the oil filter mahle Mann or will do.
Oil Changes are done every 7,500km (VW calls for 15,000km). Always done with Fuchs/Liqui Moly/Motul full synthetic oil (5W-40) and MANN filter.
this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.
As Epic said, ive run Mann filters on my 944.
Mann W71922 is a perfectly good filter and readily available, and the Mahle OC46 for the 928 will fit a 944, it's just taller. Also should be readily available.
changed my oil filter that apparently collapsed with a Mann brand and it definitely worked after a month later with no light the darn oil light came back I just redid my filter and oil but it came back getting on the freeway
