Default Just completed my 1st oil change in my 2.7t and noticed that there was.....

a small drip from the seal around the oil filter. When I looked at the belly pan I noticed that were signs that it has done this b4.

I used the Mann filter as reco here is there a better fitment in the bosch? I am also using syn oil, could the drops be from the previous owner making the switch to syn?

The one I was inpressd about was the perfect location of the filter. Much easier than my old 1.8t.

Default Next oil change, replace the oil seal behind the oil cooler.

As a matter or course during every oil change you should check the nut securing the cooler and make sure it snug.

Default Check drips are not from higher up on the engine...

... for example the notorious Cam adjuster seals.

Default Not for me personally, but for many of customers, yes.

I'm an independent VW/Audi sales and service dealer.
