Bosch oil filters...What do you think about them?
Greetings,
I'm looking for opinions about Bosch oil filters. I have an oil change coming due soon and I already have a Bosch filter. Is anyone else using them, had problems etc? Thanks!

One word: Mahle.

The Bosch filter might be fine, but the Mahle is O.E. and the best one for the car. It has the right specs for the oil pressure and location on a 911, at $5-6.00 a pop why fk around?
Also, the ones that they now sell at the dealer w/ the Porsche name on them are junk, made in Tijuana or something, buy a few Mahles from our host and be set.

I second what Denis said, the filters from Porsche are not what they used to be. If one measures the weight of a 'Porsche' filter to a Mahle filter, the 'Porsche' filter is much lighter.

I like Mahle or Mann.
