good filter

good filter is always worth it

Good filter

Worth using a good filter

I always get this oil filter when changing my oil for my 82 Air cooled Vanagon. It’s the best!

Perfect

Fit perfectly on my stock '81 Vanagon just as I would have expected for a Mann filter. Shipping was pretty quick too.

Mann filters are top quality, If you need an oil change get this filter.

One minor complaint is that the flutes on the outer edge make gripping the oil filter a little tricky. I have several different oil filter wrenches so I can always get it off, but sometimes it takes a little more effort than it should.
