    Would this filter be ok for the V12 engine?

    I am looking at replacing filters in the car and was wondering if those are ok?
    I have heard the oily ones are no good for the MAF sensors and I need to thin k about the S70 mafs

    Just buy stock Mann filters. There’s no reason to use anything else.

    @TxGR8White:
    If the Mann filter is crap as you say, please inform us what is so bad with the filter from them.

    I believe he's referring to the filters in the "OP's" link.

    I agree just go for stock. The only reason say a k/n filter flows more is the filter media is very thin and that I don't like

    So MANN is the best one to go with?

    I was answering the OP question.
    Those BMC filters aren't even worth looking at, let alone buying and installing, they are the same junk that K&N filters are.

    I have used MANN and am currently using WIX paper cartridge filters - either one will do the job of not letting particles into the engine.
