I would have never guessed it was made by Mann+Hummel. They have certain characteristics that I usually can spot in their filters, regardless of brand name. Good Info, man, thanks

Blue Print is Febi/Swag, their parts are among the best aftermarket in Europe but better use genuine GM filters in GM cars as they don't have much difference in pricing and offer peace of mind. Mann is what i will choose in aftermarket filters, it's a company that only makes filters and related items so they have to watch out their reputation.

Nice to see! I run Mahle filters on the add on filter/pump on my '75 VW Bug. Now I need to cut the one open I have sitting on my bench from a new engine break in I performed recently.

That Mahle filter is beautiful, nice workmanship

Mahle for the win.

Mahle and Hengst are my backup choices. Man is always my first choice

With the available information, I'd take the Mahle with the additional media and coil spring (my preference). They appear to be made to the same price point.

Full watch 👍

Im with you on the Mahle ! I say the media looks to be 25 to 30 microns ! Mahle for the win and kudos for the blue print being made in the country of origin ! 💪

If I know the Germans they probably have somebody on site to oversee production. In my experience, they are extremely hands-on.

Mahle, FTW. Well made, more media area, coil compression spring and has the rubber collar around outlet hole to seal clean from dirty side oil filter. With no adbv in either to seal central area, something needed to do that. Blue Print looks to be metal on metal there, with the flat spring, not confident in the seal there. Too bad no published efficiency spec for either. Thanks for vid.

The date code you point out looks like an old school "printer's key code" style for coding editions. That is where they remove a number each time they make a new run. If that is the case, then maybe 4th week of July 2023?

Mahle always had a great reputation and it seems they are maintaining their standing. The Blueprint looks to be finely made as well, no sloppy glue, etc. the 4 giant holes is kinda funky but it is nice to see them made in the UK. I'd take the Mahle as a first choice but if I didn't have a choice The blue print would be acceptable in a pinch, especially if all I had was the orange can of death. Curly Dog is a rock star. Thanks for sharing! Great Job, Pete!

Just been researching filters for a small Kawasaki industrial engine - most of the Mahle filters were stated as having a 28 micron rating. Couldn't find anything for the Blue Print, other than they're about a 1/3 cheaper than the Mahle in the UK.

Mahle sounds like “male’” or “Mah-lay” in Italian & Spanish, which means Bad in both languages.

I stick with the Blue Print, its a OE GM design & even though the Mahle is nice ...its a Mahle Aftermarket. its still made in China.....i rather find a OE Mahle made in Europe under a different vehicle manufacturer that's compatible ,the OE Mahle is usually made in Europe
