Oil filter Hengst or Mobil

I own a 2021 CX-30 non turbo and have been using the Mobil 1 Extended performance oil filter along with Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil since my 1st oil change without any issues.

Drive way. Gorilla ramps, harbor freight tools, mobil 1 filter and oil. Gotten 60k trouble free miles so far

To give you perspective, I do my own oil change for $37 (full synthetic mobile one + filter)

10 quarts of Mobil1 and a Motorcraft oil filter, FL-500s. A lot of the you ger generation love the new Pennzoil Platinum Ultra full syn, but to each their own. I change mine religiously at 5k on my '20 GT, I'm up to 20k miles, it's has the tick but it's sporadic and hardly noticeable to me.

I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic at Walmart for $24 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil filter for $11 ($12 for Mobil1 Extended Performance). So, $35 for a change plus Walmart's Tire and Lube will take the used oil (so will all part stores by me).

The extended performance of Mobile 1 or Castrol and I use the extended mobile filter.

Then replace at 10k mi.

DYI. Kirkland synthetic for $18 per 5 quart jug and $12 for a Mobil 1 filter.

Are you opposed to doing it yourself ? Reason I ask is because imo it’s the way to go. You can save $25+ and buy decent oil/filter. I’m at $47 with Mobil 1 oil and filter from Walmart.

That kind of looks like it's coming from the oil filter cap. Did you use an oe filter and oring? I had the o-ring leak under boost when I used a mobile one filter with a defective ring. It made a mess sort of like that.

I've just experienced this same problem with my 2017 Buick. I have the UFI cap and the dealers used the Hengst filter 7 of the 9 times I had it changed at the dealer. Using a Hengst filter in the UFI cap results in the oil bypassing the oil filter all the time. The UFI cap expects the bypass valve to be on the filter and the Hengst filter just has an open hole there resulting in the car being run for about 50,000 of its 70,000 mile life WITHOUT an oil filter.
