Mann oil filters
Hello,
I'm looking for people's experiences using Mann oil filters. I currently use K&N 2009 in my '05 and I crossed referenced it to be a Mann ML1005 filter. Has anyone used this filter? Online the filters are $5.18 whereas a K&N is $9 to $11
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Google search it...
Possibly a rebadged Purolator Classic from the Bob is the Oil Guy forums.

+1 on WIX. Available from Amazon or NAPA. The NAPA Gold filters are WIX.
MANN and K&N are not in the same league, thus the price difference.

For those DIY members, was not the original 2004 RX330 filter installed by Lexus/Toyota a long filter? And, only later did they change it to the shorter filter we have today?
Something sticks in my head about that for some reason. Perhaps old age.

One of the independent German automotive shops up in the NE I frequented used to use MANN filters by default unless you asked for something else. Think it was typical of VW/Audi to use those. I always made sure I got BOSCH for the Mercedes I had at the time.

You're correct, this is the long filter. The smaller one is K&N 1002.
Just noticed, you are running the "long" filter?

Would be interested to hear more about that.
Mann (and Mahle) oil filters are OEM for Audi/VW. I have been running the Mann oil filter for years on Audi products. Just curious how/why they are not in the same league? What is wrong with them?
Mobil 1 and K&N are both made my Champion labs and are both very good filters as are NAPA Gold (aka Wix) filters.
From the looks from the BITOG link, it would appear as the white Mann is possibly a re-badged Purolator classic. Still a good filter, but I would agree, not in the league of Wix.
But, from my experience for Audi, the Mann is a very good filter.
