Oil filter OEM BMW or AMSOIL
I use Amsoil EA15K13-EA.
Part number: EA15K13-EA
Every 4500-5000 miles with Amsoil Signature and Amsoil filter. Do it yourself, it\u2019s not hard and you can be assured no corners were cut. Don\u2019t go beyond 5000 miles. The 3.5L is really hard on oil. It\u2019s cheap insurance.
Pros: cheap insurance
Mileage: 8047 km
I only run Amsoil fluids and filters. Never had any issues and I track my 17' mostly. \n\nI dont use amsoil brake fluid though. Castrol SRF React is the best brake fluid for dry and wet boiling points. But its pricey
Pros: no issues, good for tracking
Cons: pricey
I just go to the amsoil website and get the oil that they suggest, I've taken cars well over 200k with that advice. Don't overthink it. If you don't want to use amsoil for the oil, at least see if they have a low micron oil filter.
Pros: cars well over 200k
Mileage: 321869 km
I use Amsoil Signature Series & OEM filter.
Just change it every 6,000km and you’ll be good. Use synthetic, but brand isn’t as important as proper drain intervals.
Pros: Amsoil Signature Series, OEM filter
Mileage: 6000 km
I was skeptical, but I started using it and their best filter in my '98 Durango 5.9 (gas). I ran it for the full 25 K(+) and sent an oil sample out to a 3rd party "Analysts, Inc." for a full analysis - including spectrographic. Basically, their recommendation was that the oil showed minimal contamination, acceptable viscosity, and was still OK for continued use and to re-sample at next interval.
Pros: minimal contamination, acceptable viscosity
Vehicle:
Dodge Durango
Mileage: 25000 km
Euro 0-20, BMW oil filter from Amz, $11.00 (buy filter and give to the oil change shop), always make sure oil change shop gets oil filter cover and oil pan screw torqued at 25 lbs (18 nm).
I use amsoil, pricy but the filter is what's really worth it and before I changed my valve seals I burnt quite a bit less, it went from a quart every 800-1k miles to a quarter quart in that same time frame.
Pros: filter is worth it
Cons: pricy
I recently switched to Amsoil using a Mann filter. It runs great.
Pros: runs great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just had an amsoil filter fail at the gasket. The inner diameter was too small causing a crease in the gasket that leaked after 4 months use. Nearly ran me dry.
Cons: gasket leak, filter failure
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
