I have not been able to get these from GSF Plymouth for over a month they tell me that they are all coming through as Mann. I have always used the Purflux ones and would like to continue, what does everybody else use?
I like the shape of the Purflux with the chevron paper folds the Mann is just straight.

I recall that at one time genuine Honda were purflux.
I don't see heaps of cars siezed up by the roadside because a different brand of oil filter was used. Even if using a different brand shortened you engine life by 20% (which it won't) the chances are you will have got rid years before anything happens.

Have used Mann filters in the past when I had a MK1 PUG 309 TD as a company car (In house servcing) never had any problems. quality seemed OK as well.

There must be a supply problem with purflux. Alot of our oil filters have been superceeded to Hengst.

I believe that Mann filters are readilly available because they are produced 'locally' in Wolverhampton.... with regard to their design, all these types of filter have to comply with a set standard either ISO or BS and do so in their own way.

My latest lot from GSF are mann, they have the non return valve in as far as I'm aware, so they should be OK

I'm using filters from the Auchan hypermarket in Calais at the moment-BX oil filters were on special offer and diesel filters were marked up at less than 3 euro's each[:)]-they seem fine, worth a look if anyones going on holiday soon ( despite having a picture of a robin on them..) Air filters were the same price as here, though.....
Like Jeremy says, you don't see hordes of seized cars due to unknown filters!!! I usually use Wix,but only because that's what my local factor stocks-I have used all sorts over the years with no problems.
They probably all come out of the same factory anyway!!
