Audi after chain&pump

First glimpse would be to look at the COO (country of origin) on those others if you can. Bosch uses some Purolators. I'd check around since you have a good bit of options with M&H. Other option is going into an automotive parts store to ask & see those filters. That Germany made WIX looks excellent though.
All three are Mann ram5.7 and Audi the ram says USA the other two say Germany
Nice work, Do you happen to know what the Purolator equivalent part# is for the Audi. I've seen them be the same filter. What you can do is search up Purolator's part number for it & do an internet part# image search. Like I say sometimes Puro is the same filter sourced from M&H but may be even cheaper for you to buy. Just another option to scope out if you'd like to. The Wix/Mann do look exactly the same.
Wish I knew the efficiency difference since what makes it through the strainer is big enough to harm
The fact they didn't paint the One blue, in the pic above, tells me they are sourcing it from the same Germany Mann factory. If Mann is your OEM oil filter the cool thing about getting Purolator to share their sheet on the Classic tells you what the OEM efficiencies are. Any parts stores that carry this filter could help you to check COO on it first though.
Weird the boss and the regular puro claim different origins.Doesn’t seem right except that the Wix ram filter also says USA. The puro tech told me the boss is the only one of the 4 filters offered that is 40 micron and designed for synthetic oil. The others are 20 to 30 mlook familiar?
Purolator will email you a specification sheet about efficiencies too. I'd grab the L35895 while you're at it since both the Classic & PL35895 One look exactly the same.

They did mention that although they stated countries of origin they can be from anywhere. But didn’t say anything about using Mann hummel even though I asked,but now I have to do some research on manns micron ratings
That's what the Spec sheet for L35895 will tell you. It will tell you what that Mann filter's efficiency is b/c it's the same exact filter.
I still am waiting for Mann to email me since tech at puro gave me three different ratings.For the same engine. I hope you’re right because I’m stocked with everything but purolatorThat's what the Spec sheet for L35895 will tell you. It will tell you what that Mann filter's efficiency is b/c it's the same exact filter.
I haven’t heard from Mann but found a bobs thread from 18 that seems to say 38 micronsBe ready for most likely a shock in the efficiency department based on other Spec Sheets seen ...
Hard to say if they are the same today the way filter companies make changes. If you end up getting an offical anwser from Mann let us know.
Well any info from Mann is a circle . So after I changed the oil 200 miles after experiencing new oil pump making noise. I did a filter only change after 300 miles here’s the filters cut open the darker is the first change. I’m satisfied and waiting the full 2500 miles I usually do. And I changed from the last two Wix to an actual Mann. Will look forward to seeing if the internals are the same.
