Excellent oil filter test. Great sense of humor in their motorcycle videos.
Hopefully you find them funny and check them out…..if you don’t find them funny you should get you head checked

THAT WAS GREAT for the sense of humor as much as technical content.

Odd side note:
I never used a Mahle OC142 prior to them getting stamped with "Porsche" on them (although that seems to have stopped?)
And I bought some a while back on a Pelican order to get free shipping on an order. So I had 3 Porsche filters laying around. One went on a car I sold before I changed the oil, and I finally took one off the 91S2 before 944Fest, and did so after 944Fest (since I did so many miles), and I noticed the filter wasn't dripping out anything and was definitely filled completely.
Left it sitting upright for a week, and it didn't leak a thing.
Compared to the Hengst filters, which do have a check valve, they leaked out probably about half the oil. So this was very interesting to me.
On another note: Is Mahle actually making (non Porsche stamped) OC142s again? And who has them?
