The filter itself seems good, but the washer it comes with makes no sense. It is supposed to come with a drain plug seal, but instead comes with a thin piece of junk washer about half the diameter of the drain plug. I saw an earlier review saying the same thing and hoped the issue had been resolved. I had to order a new seal and I'll have to hope the old squished one will hold up until my next oil change. When the underbody is covered, it makes leak detection difficult, so I did myself the favor of cutting a small drain plug access hole so I can get to it without removing the underbody. I would recommend any DIYer to do this step for sanity reasons. Just measure over and drill a ~2 inch hole.

The rubber gasket for the oil filter housing is included and the correct size, but the washer for the drain plug is not the correct one for the 4.2L V8 motor. In fact, it is such a small washer, it is not for a drain plug at all. The picture provided by Amazon shows the correct sized drain plug washer, but that is not what's included. I sent an e-mail to Amazon regarding this, so we'll see if that gets updated. Perhaps somehow my Mann HU835 1/Z filter kit was a one off with the wrong washer, but I find that highly unlikely. Perhaps the other OEM filters, Mahle or Hengst, come with the corect drain plug washer. For reference, this was installed on a B6 S4.
