Oil filter Bosch or VALVOLINE
I would stick to Bosch, Mann & Mahle for filters.
I use Valvoline advanced full synthetic or quaker state full synthetic, and those oils seem to hold up very well (ive tried plenty of different brands) and you can buy it anywhere for top off oil. I have been interested in using liquimoly though. For filters, i use k&n, wix, or the nissan oem.
Got a Bosch on Amazon, wasn't changed on my 2 year service. Thank you for sharing, so easy to change.
That's the filter I've been using on my 2015 mazda 3, I've been getting them from Rock auto. So far no issues that I can see, took one filter apart after use and it seemed good.
Yes, absolutely can use Bosch and they were fantastic.
Go on Groupon and look for shops in your area. I get coupons for Valvoline and they’ve always been good to me. I save a good bit as well!
I just put Valvoline full synthetic high mileage 5w-20 with a motorcraft filter in my 2011, and it runs so smooth now. I used to have some noise on startup but nothing now.
Honestly I just use whatever BMW certified oil I can find at a good price. Used Motul this time, had Castrol before that. Bosch oil filter.
The "valvoline" brand ones are pretty shit.
Happened to me last winter with a Bosch oil filter -- not even an el cheapo aftermarket filter, either. It looked someone had wrung it out like a dishrag.
