Dennis - I have an 82 Diesel and have purchased MANN oil filters for my next few changes. I noticed you mentioned MANN and MAHLE filters twice, inferring "do not use". I have always thought of these as being quality filter manufacturers. What are the reasons for not recommending them, or am I reading your statements incorrectly?
