A vw spec 508 oil and a Mann filter
If I really care about the car, I use Motul and a factory filter.
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.
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.
It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.
The Mann filter I use in my 13 Jetta TDI is HU 719/7X. haven't had any problems with them.
I just did a oil change and with EFL 5W40 and use the BIG Mann filter like usuall and realise that the oil as already become a bit blackish...
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
