Oil filter Mann or Wix
Wix everything. It's the only filter I use in mine and customer cars. I've probably used 3,000 + over the last 20 years
I've had no issue with the WIX filters for my last two oil changes
34€ / 5 Liter ARAL 5W40 nach VW Norm 50200; 3-5€ / Ölfilter Original VW oder Mann
Mann filter
ca. 40€ für 5l 5W40 und ca. 10€ für Mann Ölfilter
I try and buy MANN oil filters when I can. A mechanic told me that at least on the old Volvo I once owned (92’ Volvo 940 sedan) MANN oil filters have an extra oil passage within the filter and that they are superior. I would assume this is true for the rest of their products.
Personally the only filter I’d use is Mann. K&N air filters suck definitely wouldn’t trust them with an oil filter.
I've always used Mann or Hengst oil filters.
Right now I have Red Line 5w30 and a wix filter due to what I’ve read on forums
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
