I had one splitt on a golf diesel which then seized, it is/was a common problem with lots of aftermarket filters on vw diesels.

For the cost of the Mann ones it's not worth fitting anything else. They have all the propper valvework inside to maintain residual oil pressure when switched off.
Cheaper filters omit this facility.
I am unaware of manufacturer that use fram as OE.

Most of oil filter are perflux with a few fram ones.
Most of air filters are fram or they just say renault.
