Wow both of them eh? Impressive...


Anyways im a fan of Mahle. Always will be. Fram reminds me of fords and fords make me cringe when it comes to oil changes so i guess let my nuts be sucked also...:-?

There good, just stay away from FRAM...complete garbage. Ive seen some explode, others leak, some internally collapse causing complete engine failure.

People spread this crap all over the internet yet none of them have ever had personal experience with it. Now most of the time I also use a Mann/Mahle on my cars BUT there is nothing wrong with Fram filters.

I am personally partial to German made parts for my e30's but after having lived through dozens if not 100's of oil & filter changes I can honestly say that I have never had one experience that says to me that this filter is better than that filter.

I've read bobtheoilguy & filter reviews etc etc and in the end I just think the oem Mann filter looks more at home under my hood and they are readily available for a decent price. Absent a conspicuous filter failure (that falls in to the "sucks" category) I don't see how you can know how "good" 1 is as opposed to the other.

Anything else is more marketing than science IMHO.

agree with ^
i've used them all on my M3 and my other e30's, it's a freakin oil filter, it filters oil through paper how can one be better than the other. The failures of an oil filter are mostly caused by user error.

I run Purolator PL20195 PureONEs. I bought a case of them on amazon when they were on sale. BITOG seems to think well of them, and I was able to remove and replace it thanks to the grippy surface by giving my exhaust the reach-around. changing your oil without jacking the car up is tits.

I use Mahle/Mann oil filters on my E46 M3 as per recommend in repair manual. Should be sufficient for the E30.

Wow, 2 pages? I know they say there's no such thing as a stupid question but come on. This is kind of like asking, "Anyone use OEM parts on their car? Are they any good?"

[u3b3rg33k]

Hey, at least he wasn't asking if anyone uses lemforder parts. what a hoot that would be.
