Oil filter Mann or Castrol

Just did mk7 gti and my mk8 golf R with that HU 6013 Z.

All good

i use hks engine flush, valvoline vr1 20w-50 and a mann oil filter.

Also, I've seen a lot of the VW mechanics on yt using Mann filters when doing oil changes. Considering the one I bought from VW was like $25, and rockauto has the Mann ones for like $8, that's what I plan on using in the future.

Buy Castrol Edge and the long-life filter from Walmart for best engine protection.

I did Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W-40 with a Hengst oil filter, but if you want to spend a little extra most people recommend LiquidMoly

You can find Mobil 1 esp at most local car parts stores and you won’t have to ship. 0w30 or 5w30, double check it’s VW 507.00 on the back. I think my advanced auto parts down the street had the correct Mann oil filter in stock too.

I used the Castrol once, and have been buying the assembled kit from ECS ever since. At 73K miles, now, and change it every 7-8K.

It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.

some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut

To me it looks like you have a cheap shitty non oe/oem filter installed. I'd change the filter to a good brand, (mann/mahle/oem bmw) and then clean the area with brake clean then let vehicle run and recheck. If it's leaking as bad as it looks like it is it will be easy to verify that you fixed it
