OEM BMW Oil Filters

Your oil filter operates much like your air filters and fuel filter in that it's responsible for keeping contaminants and debris out of your BMW vehicle's important parts.

What Does an Oil Filter Do?

You see, even new motor oil contains impurities that made it past the refining process. Your oil filter captures them before they make their way to your engine to cause trouble. The motor oil also captures any pollutants already in your engine, which the filter also collects. That keeps the motor oil clean as it lubricates the moving engine parts.

Unfortunately, even the best oil filter will get clogged or degraded over time. If that happens, your engine can’t perform as well as it should.

How Do You Spot a Bad Oil Filter?

Signs that your oil filter is failing include:

• The oil pressure dash light comes on
• Your engine begins to sputter
• You observe that your engine performance is suffering
• You notice dark smoke coming from your exhaust pipe
• You hear metallic sounds coming from your engine

What are Genuine OEM Oil Filters Your Best Option?

If you're not experiencing any of these symptoms, check your owner's manual for your model's recommended maintenance schedule. You usually should replace your oil filter every other time you change your oil. When your oil filter does need replacing, get the right one for your model. BMW makes the only oil filters that are guaranteed to work with your model and its engine, delivering the tight gasket seal you want. An oil filter that doesn’t fit right, or is installed improperly, can result in oil leaks or come completely detached.
