That was the same response when I bought my first XJ oil filter. Coming from VR6 maintenance, it felt like it was free. I think it was like $3 vs $25 for the OEM VW Mann one.
I have been using exclusively Wix filters on my oil changes for a couple years. I have had my oil analyzed multiple times on multiple engines, always a clean report. I'll stick with Wix.
210k miles on my 03 RSX-s I use Penzoil 5w30 and Wix filters.
I'll echo others that I've always used the Mann HU 925/4x and they've never given me any trouble for fitment or function.
I, along with other owners have tried many oil filters, but the MANN ones seem to be the best.
I've been using Mann filters, have been to last 9 years.
we could just use the **proper OEM standard** Mann oil filter on an *s engine* to avoid filter collapse
I\u2019ve used a Mann filter for my vehicle and change it out every 2500 miles and it comes out pristine!
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
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
