Project Farm needs to build an oil filter rig like that
Did project farm test oil filters
Your seriously, professionally and meticolusly performed tests are always a joy to view.
Hi Sergiu, I’ve been working as filtration specialist for about 8 years and I must say that you are explaining everything very good and accurate. The only thing you need is a particle counter to be fitted inline after the filter. Then you will be able to measure particles smaller or bigger than what the manufacturer claims. Keep these videos coming 😉
Hi Lasse and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I've been looking for a particle counter the can work with oil from the beginning, but I couldn't find such a device. Most of them are dedicated for airborne particles, not for particles suspended in liquid. If you can suggest such a device, I would surely use it in my tests.
Hello lasse, can you tell us something about your experience? Is for instance a OEM filter the best? Or are the the other non OEM filters "programmed" to be less effective than the OEM.
You don't speak English well.
I get sick of RUclips videos that don't show the performance of the filter. They cut it open and look at it. You don't. I can't believe Mann outperformed K and N by a long shot. The price doesn't show the performance as better than normal. Thanks, subscribed, and great video! Can't wait to see more videos!
The K&N filter is the cheaper silver filter.
Really appreciate your videos! I've always searched for someone testing products from european market/manufacturers. Keep it up!
Excellent work! I think I know why is there a difference between OE Mann and aftermarket. It actually has to do with country of manufacture. The OE Mann was from Germany, and the aftermarket you tested from Spain. Mann used to make this exact model of filter only in Germany, for both OE and aftermarket, but now they are made in Spain and Czech (they confirmed this by email to me). I used to order them from Autodoc, they were always from Germany and had that more brown-ish thicker filtration material, even though they were aftermarket. I recently ordered them again from Autodoc, the one that came was from Czech, and I ordered one from a local shop, this one was from Spain. Both are almost identical and have the thinner, lighter in color filtration material. If you're buying Mann filters, check and make sure they are German ones (it's darker in color), if not, maybe it's best to go with Mahle.
It’s interesting they would run separate production lines for the same filter. You’d think it would be cheaper to produce them all in one place, or at least, with common media. Thanks for sharing this info. I think I will switch to Mahle
That tensile test was a very clever design with the use of water weight. Good job! I will continue using my Mann filter in my RS3.
It’s refreshing to see someone base their opinion on science and not heresy. Thanks for the great review and now I’m subscribing!
This takes huge amaoint of work and thought. Much appriciated!
Ești grozav! Materiale si conținut calitativ. Felicitări!
chiar ma bucur pentru faptul ca apreciezi urmaitorii roamani,mai exact concetatenii tai,si le oferi subtitrare in romana,pentru ca nu toti stim engleza la perfectie,bravo,faci o treaba buna,te urmaresc in continuare !!
Excellent video on the performance... the inside construction is very important... thanks again Sergiu...
Best filter comparison ever! Are you a professional? What do you do for a living? Keep it up, man!
I admire your dedication
Love it! Glad to see another top quality video, I really like the side by side comparison shots you do.
I think your voice levels were a bit quiet, had to turn up speakers a lot to hear, maybe bump up a couple of dB the sound on the next one.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll work on that!
Multumim pentru test!
Materiale si conținut calitativ. Felicitări!
Bravooo Sergiu asa te vreau ai venit cu un nou video. Asa mai da Felicitari. Asteptam urmatorul
More tests please!!! (Bought a Mahle cabin filter today, you're right, it's great!!!)
Keep up with the good work✌️
Thank you for your support Mihai!
You are doing excellent job, keep doing it! Maybe in future you can do some car battery test?
Very nice and complete video. I really want to see a analysis of low mileage but 12+ months vs New oil. Its really interesting to see if anual oil change really is necesary even if car only maked 5000km. Thx
Nici nu vreau sa stiu ce teste ai face, daca ai avea aparatura profi de laborator! Sper ca intr-o zi sa te vad intr-un laborator super dotat! Multumim de munca depusa si spor in viitor!
Esti cel mai bun si sper sa cresti mare ca meriti!
Great videos! I won't skip the adds :)
Great informative video, keep it up
I love this video. I have always said that original oil filters are much better, but people don't listen. This is important when the car drives long life service that it filters the best it can.
Very interesting. Keep making more videos
keep it up！Very informative thank you.
Great videos!!!
Now fuel filter have to be tested 😆
If you add a second control filter with a know very low/small micron filtration media, use this to see how much and how big the particles are that are passing the oil filter being tested… measure using your micro scope, count number and size of particles in a given area. All other comparisons a side the amount and size of particles passing a filter and the flow restriction are the metrics that have the biggest risk to engine life👍
My friend thank you for your help
Just came across this Chanel I appreciate 👍 can you test wix Xp filters please
Thank you!!
broooo those were great tests! I'm never buying K&N again....except for Air Filters...even the flow is better on the OEM
I buy Purflux aftermarket when on offer on amazon, even more confident it’s the right choice after seeing these tests. Thank you!
I'm using a larger canister size K&N on my 1ZZFE Corolla 1.8. The same used in Audi/ VW AP 1.8L and even the Ford Taurus 3L V6 Vulcan. Thrid time about 30 k kms. Good start sound now.
Thanks you so much for this expert video! I just saved money!
I'd be really interested in a 10W60 engine oil comparison. Do you think there will be such a test in near future? Greetings from Germany
Hi Sergiu, great work, most honest reporting I have seen thus far. In clarifying, Is the Mann OEM filter the same as the Mann aftermarket filter?? Thanks keep up the good work
No. It has differences.
@@autoh2039 ei na, nu te cred!
Thanks 👍
Show us how clean the oil is after the filter.
Awesome
Please consider BMW oe product for testing as well.

Hi Sergiu, your video are very good and I learn a lot from them. I have to tell you that the flow test isn't 100% like in real life, I think that it's importat to compare the flow of the material and the surface area, because a material can have a bad flow but with a larger surface area can have a better flow over all. Maybe if you calculate the flow rate over the surface area you can have more accurate result. What do you think about it?
we would like to see also in bmw genuine filters vs aftermaket
You did not Test the K&N gold filter... That is there high performance line...
You tested the standard K&N oil filter line...
Tnx
Hi Sergiu!I always used OE Mann oil filter.Is that the best choice or Purflux,Knecht/Mahle are even better?
I woulda liked to see comparisons against Hengst, Mahle, and Bosch.
The white box is old stock, the new stock is the filter in the yellow box
Can you Test Ravenol RUP 5W40 Oil Pleeaaaseee!!!!!!
I would like to see a test between Wix and Bosch
Can you do OEM filter vs same brand as oem but aftermarket
Salutare poți testa te rog uleiul de la Metabond C3 5W-30 !? Mulțumesc! Si filtrele de la Bmw oem?! Numai bine si felicitări in tot ceea ce faci!
Nu te dezminți !Felicitări !
KN este Knecht ?
Eram fan boy Mann, da acum pe ulei o sa pun doar Purflux, am luat deja filtre pentru 3 schimburi de ulei 😅😌, multumesc pentru teste!
Hi Mr. Gabor I'm very interested in your testing this filter brands. Can I also request if you can test WIX filters vs. VIC Japan filters? I'm subscribed to your channel and have been watching several of your videos. In our area only WIX, JS Asakashi and VIC Japan filters are available and the rest of the European brands are not easily accessible.
Wix is shit here, the other ones are not available here.
Cand mai faci testul acela pt aditivi de ulei?
Hi Sergiu, What oil, pollen and air filter would you recommend me for a VW Golf VI 1.6 TDI 105 cv (2010)? Top and long life oil filter (30000 km). it doesn’t matter the price.
What do you think about pollen filter Stark SKIF-0170642?
Thank you.
Hello, ..how about Mahle vs Purflix vs Hengst vs RC2 vs Mega Canton?
So wich one is the best
Can you test W5 engine oil from LIDL? I am using it for 6.500 km in Dacia Sandero 1.4l. It seems good. It is API SN rated after all. BTW, there are API SP rated oils now.
What company makes filter for vw touareg ??
Hello Sergiu!
I love these informative videos. They are, in my view more interesting than Project Farm’s videos on the subject.
I’d love for you to have a cooperation regarding at least oil and oil filters. I’ve never seen Valvoline or MANN handle the test as well as in your testing in other testing.
MANN Hummel seems to have different products for the same car models in the USA and in Europe. This is especially noticeable when it comes to Wix and Wix XP. As a consumer it is hard to keep up with all of this and we cannot just look at what is being tested in Europe or in the USA/Canada and believe that we’ve got the full picture.
Wix 57055 is the product for Subaru XV (Crosstrek) NA Subaru Forester in North America, but it is WL7475 here in Europe and the Wix XP is not available at all.
Wix 57055XP.
I’ve been using Amsoil Signature Series 0w-20 for some time now. The cold Start quality of the oil is what is important to me here in Sweden.
Amsoil does also have their EA15K-filters. I currently run AMSOIL Signature Series 0w-20 and EA15K01 in my Toyota Verso-S (MY2012) and the same kind of oil and EA15K13 in my Subaru Forester (MY2016) 2.0 XS (naturally aspirated engine).
I highly recommend www.ato.de/ and chemiasamochodowa24.pl/en/ for buying oem and Amsoil oils (and filters).
The Amsoil filters are supposedly good for 20 microns and the filter media is some kind of polyester and not cellulose.
Now, I don’t run my oil and filter 15000 miles (ca. 24000 km). I change it every 6 months and/or 10000 km.
cand faci un test cu uleiuri 5w40 ? un motul 5w40 x-cess/x-clean ?
Please do a meyle oil filter
What are the particals ???
Bottom line: Project Farm = genuine channel, Sergiu Gabor = aftermarket channel
Platoul de filmare isi face de cap? Poate nu era multumit de rezultat:) Felicitari pentru film
Asa cum te recomanda, o treaba minunata lucrul tau.
Vestea buna: Purflux nu face calitati diferite OE / aftermarket
Vestea surpriza: MAN o face ! Bila neagra.
Sunt nerabdator sa vad de Mahle.
Please do a meyle filter
👏👏👏
Where do you find the OEM filters?
I suppose from the dealership
👍🏼👍🏼
Bun!
Purflux le top 💪
OE (purflux/ mann) / purflux aftermarket / mann aftermarket ? Care ar fi cea mai buna alegere?
OE Mann
K&N gold for the win!
Filtron #1
Funny his t-shirt i was thinking.. this guy is Homer Simpson of the mirror World.. in other words, if Homer was VERY smart.
Where you from dude

Have you ever tested whether it's really worth it to purchase a Dooxi cabin air filter? I saw that the purchase page in the video should be this one：dooxi.com
I just clicked on their advertisement, and I was curious about that！
testezi filtrul MAHLE ?? sau este acelasi ca si knect?
Da, o sa urmeze.
Nu e același lucru MAHLE cu Knecht?
Pacat ca nu ai folosit și filtru Mahle !
In următorul episod o sa testez filtrele Mahle, Valeo, Japanparts si Delphi. Filtrele sunt deja cumpărate, mai am nevoie de puțin timp liber.
@@SergiuGabor super , succes atunci.
@@SergiuGabor ai putea încerca și UFI, este producător de prim montaj pentru piața de OE
I think that German car products are better than American ones and this prove me right, but the best might be the Japanese ones very close but I have had better experience with Japan car parts.
Sembra chiaro che siamo di fronte ad uno scienziato con i controcoglioni.
Mann OE
@projectfarm
Ți-au venit 2 filtre de la producători diferiți deoarece orice uzina de automobile au contracte semnate cu mai mulți producatori pentru același obiect.....pentru a se asigura ca nu vor rămâne fără produse comandate.
Ex: Uzina Dacia poate avea contract pentru filtre ulei cu Mahle, Bosch și Mann. Astfel Dacia se asigura ca nu rămâne fără filtre de ulei. Acești furnizori sunt clasificați astfel: furnizor principal și restul.
Cred ca a-ți înțeles ce am vrut eu sa spun aici. Distribuții puteți găsi pe original și de la Gates și de la Contitech de exemplu. Tot OEM.
Ai dreptate. Această practică se mai poate numi "second sourcing".
한국에는 이런 영상이 없다. 한국은 차는 잘만들지만 엔진오일필터는 쓰레기만 쓴다.kn같은 쓰레기필터가 훨씬더 좋음.
Difference in filters wont make a difference in the real world. Differences are minor.
probably the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard lmaoo
