Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced MAHLE OX416D1ECO Oil Filter for Improved Performance by Nate Skinner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Austrian made filter from a trusted European OEM

Anyone who has ever owned or serviced a European vehicle (BMW, Mercedes, VW, Volvo etc) will confirm this. Quality cartridge oil filter Mahle. This Austrian made filter is of higher quality than the Toyota OE filter (made in Thailand by Denso). The end caps are made from an impermeable fiber resin material that provides both structural rigidity and a complete seal at the ends of the pleats. Personally, I trust that more than the "globs of glue in the seam" that the original Toyota filters use. The filter also uses molded rubber grommets at the top and bottom to seal the filter when installed in the filter housing. There's even instructions in the box reminding you of the torque values for the filter housing.

Pros
  • Outstanding structural integrity due to high quality sheet metal, end plates and stitching
Cons
  • Not bad
