I really like the look of the Mahle filters. Waves are a bit of a surprise but it is a longer filter and those do seem to be a little more prone to that.
Interesting bypass design, is the inlet in the dome end as it appears?

I don't quite follow. The first pic shows the components in their as-assembled orientation. The neck-end with the spring in it is the outlet.
Oh, I think I see what you're saying. The threaded end-plate is domed, yes. It is also two-layered steel. My guess is to help form the o-ring gap and/or to help with can-crimp. Anyway, this thing is a tank.

I like Mahle oil filters, both spin on and cartridge, too. Their filters seem to be high quality at very reasonable price online. The only problem is they are not available at local stores, at least not in So Cal.

Not quite but yes they do look solid. What I meant was it looks like the inlet for the bypass is at the dome end of the element, not the base or outlet end. If you were to press on that black circular thing on the bottom of the element, does it open?

Where's the adbv? Or does this application not spec one? Does it have two bypasses? Looks like it. Though it make no difference imo, looks like even the much lauded Mahle can have little wave to the media.

I believe so, yes. I'm going to tear into it an post some deconstruction later on. It's not your typical filter for sure.

This media is definitely good stuff but probably nothing special. Would like to find a good synthetic replacement for this.

I don't think it is. While it has a few of the same features as a WIX, the implementation is slightly different.
