Which is better – Mann or Bosch oil filters

    I imagine it’s just a matter of personal preference really, but would you recommend a Mann or Bosch oil filter?

    I’m looking to get a fuel and oil filter for my BMW 323 E36.

    Looking at Autodoc, in order of cheapest, it goes Ridex, Mann, Bosch. I’ve used Ridex ones before, never had Mann and I don’t really like Bosch.
    There’s usually only £4 difference in price at most between the oil filters so that’s not a big issue, although I suppose it could end up being a fair bit more with all the filters and fluids.

    I always use Mann filters and I’ve been perfectly happy with them so far.

    I’ve used them all on my BMW over the past four years I’ve had it, usually once a year. On other cars I’ve had I only used Mann filters since they’re popular generally. Then I tried Mahle, which is the OE brand, then I used Bosch, and now have Ridex ones. They’re really all the same as far as I’m concerned. With the more expensive ones, you’re just paying for snazzier packaging. The original filter will have been a Mahle, the same as with the fuel and pollen filters.
