Oil filter Mann or OEM Hyundai

I also use Mann filters pretty exclusively, Wix is the same company.

I pay about $50 for my oil changes. I buy seven quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 from Walmart and order a Mann filter from FCP Euro.

Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.

Bought 2 x 20 litre drum of Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic LE SAE 5W-40 when the Caltex name left Australia & Ampol sold off all the left over Caltex oil cheap at Repco. $42 for 20 litres!!!!

All you need

to do is change your oil

And oil filter every 5000 miles OR 6 months using a high quality FULL SYNTHETIC Oil and a quality ( HYUNDAI) oil filter!!

I also use MANN W719/30. That filter is designed to go a longer interval and for synthetic oils.

New Mann oil filter

Mine was from May 2001, changed it out last year and it for sure made a difference.

Have you considered checking oil pressure regulating valve? In the past I have replaced pretty undamaged filters when I did oil changes. But for the last three years I get crushed filters out of the housing.

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
