www.mann-fi lter.comMANN-FILTER – Perfect parts. Perfect service.

MAN-UP!

Recent evidence has generated widespread UK Aftermarket awareness that some fi lter brands may not deliver the OE quality and performance promised.

And, because the cost differential between premium and poor quality fi ltration can be just a few pence, many now agree that it is illogical to compromise business, reputation and customer retention, for the cost of a newspaper.

When the carrot is ‘price’ alone, MAN-UP! Demand the optimum engine protection and peace of mind delivered with every MANN-FILTER.
