Oil filter Mann or Mobil
I use these Mann filters. Guaranteed to fit:
A vw spec 508 oil and a Mann filter
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.
I run Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance (high mileage oil, 75k+), and currently Wix XP oil filter. Car runs great at 67k miles and I have 0 codes.
Valvoline Extended Performance full synthetic 0W20 and Mobil 1 M1-108 filter every 5,000 miles.
I've used various Mobil1 oil, but usually use the kind in OPs pic. Every other oil change I change my oil filter. I use a Mobil1 110A (I think) which is a larger filter than OEM. I've done this for about 30k miles, and have not noticed any ill effects.
I run the same one and a mobil 1 filter. 48k miles in my 19’ premium. No issues.
Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1C-451 Plastic end caps (blue). Maybe viton seals on the filter? Says product of USA Rated up to 15,000 miles... which sounds worse than the stock filter (30,000 km...)
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
