Same filter that BMW uses in the 2008 335i. Cheaper than the dealer and includes the drain screw crush washer. Don't know what else you could ask for.

Bought this for my 06 BMW 325i when I did my own oil change. This is the exact replacement filter for it. Cheaper than anywhere else online. No complains, will get from Amazon again.

Direct replacement for 2006 330XI (N52 engine). Comes with new gaskets for the filter, as well as a new washer for the oil drain plug. Changing the oil yourself is something that will save you thousands of dollars over the life of your Ultimate Driving Machine. Installation is simple, unscrew the oil filter cap, slide the old filter out, slide the new one on, replace the tiny gasket at the bottom as well as the larger gasket towards the top, put the entire thing back and screw it in tightly (I hand tighten it to make it easier to remove next time). I try to change my oil between 10,000 and 15,000 even if the vehicle doesn't tell me I need it, but I'm going to start replacing the filter more often than that because it's cheap and I'm a bit of an "enthusiast" when it comes to my driving style :) To reset the oil service light, just search Youtube (example: E90 service reset), there are literally hundreds of videos showing how to do it.

Update: If you can, use a torque wrench and adapter to tighten the filter housing. The last time I hand-tightened, it wasn't enough and the high pressure caused the gasket to flare out, and oil to spray all over the inside of the engine compartment.

This is my 2nd oil filter. I change the oil about 7000 miles and reset the service light myself. Filter works well.

I recently changed the oil in my 08 BMW 535i and used this filter. It comes with both o-rings and a new crush washer for the oil plug. Construction is as solid as the OEM filters the dealers use. The dealer charges $150 and I have to wait something like 4 hours for an oil change. With this filter and 7 liters of Mobil 1 synthetic I changed it myself for about $70 in about 30 min. Good product.

The K&N oil filters make changing the filter a breeze because of the bolt head on the end of the filter. Great idea K&N.

I'm not sure how an oil filter can be much better than another oil filter, but it does look good on my bike. Well maybe with the nut on the end, I'll appreciate it more when it comes time to remove it.

Filter went on the harley fine. Who knows if it works good. Sometimes you have to go by rep. I use the motorcycle Mobil I. It's $10 a quart. Does it work well? I don't know but something about it makes me trust it. I have put Mobil 1 in all my vehicles (24) for the last 30 Years. Never had to work on an engine. Does the oil get dirty? Duh. You stick with what you know. K&N seems to work well on the vehicle and on the test desk. I f the oil has no thermal breakdown and you keep it clean you should be good to go. Buy good oil and good filters for your cars and trucks. Lets keep it clean where it matters.

Buy Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 Synthetic Motor Oil for Motorcycle - 1 Quart

Customer Ratings:

I have been riding for 38 years. I know bikes and I've tried all the oils. Mobile 1 V-Twin 20w-50 makes my 2008 Softail Custom run smoother, quieter, and 15 degrees cooler than the Harley oil that came in the bike new. I change it every 5000 miles and it looks nearly as clean coming out as it did going in. It doesn't blacken or break down in the 100+ degree Texas heat with me riding it like I stole it! It's worth every penny and then some!!!

Learned about this V-Twin Oil at the '08 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Toured the Mobil display Semi-trailer and got all the scoup and Mobil's sale pitch. I must admit I was somewhat skeptical until I returned home and talked to the Harley dealer. You guessed it... They recommended to only use Harley oil, until I visited a non-Harley motorcycle shop that sells Amsol. .I use Mobil for many other applications on the farm in Nebraska and have found it to be a superior oil. Can't save money on cheap oil. That's my theory. Believe it or not, I think my bike runs cooler on this oil. Call me a dreamer, I'm convinced and impressed.

The last thing I want to do is start a never ending "Oil thread debate" over 2-cycle oil brands on Amazon,

I do want to explain why I chose to switch to Bel-ray H1R for my Outdoor power equipment. Keep in mind that Not all 2 stroke engines are operated in the same way so it shouldn't be "Assumed" that a paticular oil will always act in the same predictable manor for all different applications. For example: Most pro-saws are

operated @ "Wide open Throttle" while in the cut, and usually idling when not in the cut. This is much different than say a dirt bike where throttle is continuously varying depending on what the rider needs at the time. Both are air-cooled 2-strokes, but operated differently.

I primarily use 2 stroke oil for Outdoor Power Equipment so that's the application I'll speak to in this review.

I've tried several synthetic 2-cycle oils, But I switched to Bel-Ray H1R on the advice of a well-respected/professional chainsaw

engine builder who "Ports" saws for even Higher Performance than OEM.

He services these engines everyday for a living, He modify's intake and exhaust ports, increases compression, advances timing, Etc.

Basically he "Hod rods" them so to speak and returns them to the customer. I trust his judgment as he has tremendous experience

in this field and see's the effects of various oils have on bearings, cylinder wall's etc on a daily basis.

He also is not a "Dealer" for any specific oil, and has only the end-user interests and ultimately his own reputation for durability in mind-(unbiased opinion.)

Many of his customers want the added performance porting offers, but also rely on their saws to put food on the table, and need them to be reliable daily for many years to come.

Bel-Ray H1R is his oil of choice/recommendation in high performance air-cooled applications such as O.P.E.

Two of the Saws that I sent him had seen a lot of use over many years-(Husqvarna 346xp/372xp). I had used a well known/respected synthetic 2 cycle

oil in for many years. When he got into the saws he found although they had minimal wear, and a nice shene of oil on the piston skirt/bearings,

there was however extensive "Hard-Crusted" carbon build-up on the piston top, the combustion chamber and the muffler that he had a hard time scraping off in preparation for the port work I requested. He also indicated that this had not yet caused a problem, but was heading in that direction. I told him I always carefully mix @ 50:1 using premium pump gas as per the OEM manual. Also the saws were tuned correctly and ran great prior to him porting them.

Using H1R will keep things clean, and well lubricated for long term/high performance use.

The only reason I rated it 4 stars was I wish it were a different color, as it hard to tell the difference from straight gas with the color of it being orange/red.

(It's a good idea to label your containers Date/ratio/etc!).

Also Here is a Link to a study that was done to compare the effects of different

high performance synthetic 2-cycle oils in a stress test should you want to read up further:
