Mann is the O.E. (original equipment) supplier for VW, Porsche, etc in Europe and provide middle of the road efficiency. I have worked as a product design engineer for 20 years for a filter manufacturer in the U.S. who is O.E. to VW/Porsche North America in addition to just about everyone; GM, AC, Ford, etc. Personally I use Bosch Premium or Super-Tech (WalMart believe it or not). The Mobil filters have too many pleats of media (paper) stuffed in them (for advertising reasons) and are quite (flow) restrictive. AC makes some super high efficiency filters with glass reinforced paper media that are great but I believe are a bit too efficient (i.e. restrictive through the oil pump). The Super-Tech filters at $2 or so are more than adequate for your applications! Actually, if you don't mind going to AutoZone, the STP line is middle of the road fine too.
