air filter

The engine has about 26,000 on it. Which one would be better the amsoil or the mann filter. Do you think I should order it now?
 
Mann filters are OEM approved for use in almost all European made automobiles.

Yes order it now. When was the last oil change? Who performed it?
 
Ill check the records, but the last oil change was near november, it was done by a local place using syntheic quaker state oil.
 
So i should order the mann one right now ?
 
While you are on the Amsoil site pickup the oil and filter that Amsoil recommends for your car/engine. As long as your aren't dropping a quart of oil every few hundred miles, Amsoil would be a good investment for your car. It will clean up the internals and improve its efficiency. From what I read some Aud/German motors like to sludge up on conventional oil and low quality synthetic oil. Would be worth researching. :)

Just ordered the correct air filter for my car , I checked the boxes that applied my car and it popped up. So I should take it to a mechinc to get it installed?
 
I am younger and cars are my hobby I have not really got to the fixing part yet. I think Ill take it my mechanic. So you are saying that if I have not replaced my air filter ever, now would be the time to do so?

Im not dropping a quart of oil quickly. The dash info popped up around october and said to change your oil so did as quick as I could
 
This should be close to your car.

I think everyone is getting a little too excited about this. Unless you drive in excessively dusty areas, or your car sits and idles for extended periods (hours a day) then air filters are changed by mileage, not time. You said you only have 26K on the car...it can't hurt to change it now, but the car isn't going to explode if you don't. You sound almost frantic about this, just relax a little.

I'm a little OCD about air filters, I always check mine with a droplight when I change them to see how clogged they are...with FI cars where the PCV comes in downstream of the air filter, I never see badly clogged filters when changed at the recommended mileage (usually 30K). Back in the old carburetor days, you'd change them at 12K and couldn't even see the light thru them.
 
hahah just posted that earlier , so basically there would be clips on the sides , I would just pull off the cover, the other small l tube and the bigger box and unplug the thing (dont know yet) then snap up the clips ?
