Mann may be more conventional, but are high quality. Probably more 300k+ mile cars running mann filters than any other make, since their prevalence in older Euro diesels, etc.
Ive tried to get Ultras to use for example in my 135i, but availability and cost are killers. Since they are cartridge filters, there's little concern for louvers, gaskets, springs, valves, etc. for many of these.
Since Mann, Hengst, Mahle, etc. have been long-designed for use in Euro vehicles with heavy, hot oil, in demanding circumstances, over long OCIs, Id use any with absolute confidence.
Example - Hengst Energetic cartridge filters, and Mann and other equivalents, have been certified for two year, 16k mile OCIs for Saabs since at least the early 2000s.
FU may well flow and capture better, but does it matter given the track record of others? Especially given availability and cost...
