A Mann+Hummel 719/45 from my 09 VW GTI. 6K on filter, Mobil 1 0w40 oil. 75% highway miles. This filter sits base down, vertical. No oil leaked out when I removed it.
Built like a Tiger Tank. Went through 9 HD cutoff wheels on my dremel.
White ADBV (Silicone?)
Bypass spring. Sorry it's blurry. Pretty thick metal though.
Media, showing metal clip.
Another shot of the media. The grit is from the dremel cut off wheel.
Base plate (outside).
Base plate inside view.
Made in Germany. Not bad for a $12 oil filter. I will be changing at 5-6K miles, as this is a GDI turbo engine. I might do a used oil analysis at 5K on this oil to see if there is fuel dilution.
