Hence, fram filters do not last as long as some of the other brand filters. Moreover, some filters made by mann and beckarnley are actually comparable to the oem specs. If you look at certain bmw or mercedes oem air filters, it is actually manufactured by mann. Similarly, beckarnley most of the time just rebrands the oem filters or mann filters as their own. I find it funny sometimes when you buy a beckarnley air filters from lordco, inside the filter box is another filter box with mann brand on it with a mann filter inside. |
