MANN-FILTER HU 7025 Z Oil Filter - Cartridge

I ordered these and the ones I received are genuine. MANN filters are really excellent. Some people complain about the seam in the filter. It's how the filter is made and not a defect at all. When you do an oil change it's good practice to cut the filter open and check for the trapped debris. Cut the ends off and unravel the media. This is an area where you can see the quality construction as well as the media itself. I bought several for a new AMG M276.8 engine build. Was great to see that they do a good job of removing debris. After 1000 miles on my fresh engine rebuild (Nikisil plating over the crappy original AMG TWAS "NanoSlide" cylinders that failed) I was happy to see that all the debris was trapped in the filter. Ran it another 1000 miles and confirmed that the debris was non existent. Now I know my engine is solid. I only use MANN filters and I'm so glad that I can get genuine filters when I need them with Prime for a reasonable cost.

Quality filter at a good price.Used them on my last four oil changes on my wifes gle 350. Works well with 0w40 mobile1 full synthetic European blend.My wife drives short intervals to work and back, which is tough on an engine, so I change it every four to 5000 miles

As per Factory equipment

Best filter closest to OEM for Germans cars,

Identical to the factory filter in my 2020 Merc E450. Fit perfectly, as did the new O-ring it came with. Far less expensive than the OEM one from the dealer. I'll be using these again.

Excellent

Good product. For the price

Fit and works great for a good price, great value.
