Review on πŸ”§ Optimized MAHLE Original OC 575 Oil Filter by Mike Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brand reputation and (now less) Great value for money

Purchased for use in a modern Triumph Bonneville vehicle. Mahle is a renowned filter manufacturer and this product lives up to that reputation. How to understand that the oil filter is working well? It's hard to tell until you prematurely disassemble the engine or have a filter problem. I would just go with a reputation and leave those other things to other people. You can search the webernet for oil filter analysis and lose at least four hours of your life or just use products repackaged by OEMs. This is one of those products. However, I refuse to pay more than $11 for a Triumph branded Wix filter and $3 for a Triumph branded aluminum washing machine. Wix is also a well-known filter company, but the OEM filter is an example. price gouging. Buy a Wix filter for a lot less. If you ride like Triumph expects, change the oil and filter once a year. That's not for me. Although Revain Prime are cheaper to start with, they're still a bargain at the current price. I think they realized that the list of uses of this filter is much larger than they thought. Spring. That's how the market works.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Functionality
