Mahle OC261 French spec Land Rover 90 2.5 diesel

[wings&wheels]

This is the Defender before it was branded as such.

Very well made filter; even pleats, media is deep and relatively thick and tough to tear, strong glue. Assume the fibrous band is there to retain the media as the glue dries.

M1 5w-50, ~2K miles. Nothing in the pleats.

I use exclusively Mahle air and oil filters on my entire fleet. They make quality stuff.
