If the car owner needs to choose a filtering unit for his car, he, first of all, should make a start from the make of his vehicle. However, there are such models of oil filters that can equally well be used on most cars of foreign and domestic production. Since the buyers of oil filters are people with different budgets, the material contains a list of the most popular brands of units that can be divided into recommended and optimal models (if a replacement is urgently needed, and there are no other options in stores for purchase).

Рассмотрим все описанные модели более подробно.
Mahle OC205
Today, one of the leaders in sales of various components for power units is the brand Mahle. The plant produces a huge list of parts, which begins with the cylinder-piston group, and ends with consumables for maintenance. For many years, Mahle has been supplying the Russian market with a huge amount of parts that have excellent quality characteristics, for which they are preferred by car owners from all over the country.
If you choose a good quality Mahle OC205 oil filter, then the vehicle owner in the power unit will have a “well-made” fixture that has a thick-walled body that can withstand pressure even at the time of cold start. In this case, the filter will not receive deformations, and, if necessary, the owner of the car will be able to easily change it. Convenient unscrewing of the unit is an important advantage: experienced car owners know that the disk pullers, which are located on the edges of all thin-walled devices, are quickly erased, to fix them, you have to use chain pullers.
The Mahle OC205 oil filter has a bypass valve that is triggered by a pressure difference of 1 bar, which means that it will be tightly closed in the car, the power unit can be protected from the ingress of contaminated oil that has not been processed. However, it is not enough to choose such an oil filter for those who purchase only low-cost semi-synthetic oils - it is impossible to start the movement without first warming up the power unit.
Among the main advantages of Mahle OC205 it is worth noting its prevalence, the ideal seat in almost any car, quality parts. Strange as it may sound, the Mahle OC205 does not have significant drawbacks.

Mann W75 / 3
The oil filter Mann W75 / 3, which belongs to MANN, has almost the same value with the previously considered model. This plant also, like Mahle, produces quality consumables that can be used on most vehicles from around the world. True, despite its popularity, the oil filter Mann W75 / 3 cannot surpass its only rival from the company Mahle. The Mann W75 / 3 filtering device has a smaller height and area of the filter part itself. Mahle OC205 is better to choose, if only because it will be easily installed on such motors, which are not yet very worn out. This oil filter will help clean the budget synthetic oil, which will have both low and stable viscosity. Despite the fact that the relatively quick contamination of the Mann W75 / 3 consumables between oil changes will slightly affect the engine, a slightly reduced unit length will allow you to quickly install the device in a very close engine compartment.
As for the Mann W75 / 3 relief valve, it has a slightly higher opening pressure of 1.3 bar. Due to this circumstance, Mann W75 / 3 becomes not the best replacement for the previous filter, since at the moment of functioning on viscous oil with heavy pollution before the valve is opened, the filter element curtain may be damaged.
Mann W75 / 3
Despite the fact that the oil filter Mann W75 / 3 is not the best consumables, it has its dignity - it is convenient to unscrew it (disc puller with a notch at the bottom). Among the drawbacks, you should pay attention to the not very good quality of the filtering device and the reduced filter area.
Bosch 0451103316
Bosch 0451103316 is a high-quality oil filter, which produces the German company Bosch. It is worth noting that, choosing this device from the list of filters presented, one cannot hope that it was made in Germany, since Bosch has many subsidiaries scattered throughout the world. Frequently, auto parts sell Bosch powertrain parts that are manufactured in South Africa. Despite the fact that Bosch 0451103316 in this rating took only third place and is considered not the best alternative to replace the standard filter, its filter element area is larger than all the above models. The cartridge, which consists of multiple layers of paper corrugations, fills the entire space of an 8-centimeter body. This feature of the Bosch 0451103316 oil filter did not adversely affect the bypass valve - it is located deep inside the filter unit, opening at a pressure difference of 1 bar.
One of the drawbacks of Bosch 0451103316 is to pay attention to the anti-drain valve, which operates an order of magnitude harder devices from Mahle. Despite the fact that this is not too significant a disadvantage, in cars it is better to install a softer valve, which can well prevent the outflow of oil. If you additionally read the list of recommendations of the "Expert Price", then the Bosch 0451103316 oil filter has the second place. Among the advantages of Bosch 0451103316 it is worth noting high-quality filtering, a huge resource fixtures and compliance with the manufacturer.

adom.ru, you can buy in almost any modern car shop, however, its cost will exceed the price by a quarter for which you can buy better-quality counterparts. As the comparative test showed, this model of the oil filter is inferior in quality of filtration and the area of the filtering part to all of the above German models.
Despite the fact that quite recently the Korean auto industry did everything possible to take the leading places in the Russian market in sales not only of their cars, but also of their components, with an emphasis on lower prices than competitors, now the situation looks a little different. The original Kia oil filter today costs a bit more than its counterparts.
Naturally, a good Kia oil filter will not be superfluous only in a new car, the owner of which prefers to pack only original spare parts for its car. True, the ratio of its price and efficiency makes the purchase not the most appropriate.

Until PH6811
One of the most budget oil filters - Until PH6811, which is produced by the French concern. His hit in the rating of the best consumables depends on the high-quality manufacturing of the part and its height. The unit height of 8 centimeters gives hope that the filter element is hidden in the body, which will provide high-quality filtering even in the presence of low resistance.
However, having learned about the features of the device of the oil filter Until PH6811, it becomes clear that the height of the product does not affect the quality of filtration - it is associated with a relief valve, which has impressive dimensions. However, despite such dimensions, the element functions no better than the other models described above.
Among other things, the Until PH6811 oil filter has a sealing ring, which is already a typical part of Mahle and MANN fixtures. Although it will at least “stick” to the mating plane during its service life, thanks to which the owner of the car can easily replace the used part, with too much tightening it is possible to damage it easily. If the owner of the vehicle decided to choose an oil filter Until PH6811, then he should take into account that the part must be screwed in accordance with the instructions, without giving a "stock".
The Until PH6811 oil filter has a high workmanship, although its filtering part does not have the best dimensions, however, the unit has a not very convenient cut for the pullers.
