vs
Oil filter OEM BMW or Castrol
Buy Castrol Edge and the long-life filter from Walmart for best engine protection.
Pros: best engine protection
I did Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W-40 with a Hengst oil filter, but if you want to spend a little extra most people recommend LiquidMoly
Pros: good engine protection
I used the Castrol once, and have been buying the assembled kit from ECS ever since. At 73K miles, now, and change it every 7-8K.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 73000 km
I pay 220 for M2 Comp. 7 quarts of oil and filter. Yeah it may be a high but I prefer peace of mind from a reputable Indy shop.
Pros: peace of mind
Cons: price may be high
Vehicle:
BMW M2
A good oil filter (I say BMW as I found they fit the tightest, best seal compared to even the MANN/MAHL filters specific to my N20)
Pros: tightest fit, best seal
Castrol Edge 0w 20 with the Dexos1 and an STP gold filter done at 2k.
Pros: using Castrol Edge
Mileage: 2000 km
7500 miles religiously, including filter every time. Full synthetic 5-30 Castrol.
Pros: religiously, full synthetic
Mileage: 12070 km
I just paid $98 for an oil change at my local BMW dealer in Northern Virginia. 7 quarts and filter, all taxes and fees included.
Pros: local dealer
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Normal pricing but don\u2019t go to the quickie lubes. Their oil filters are absolute shit
Cons: shit oil filters
Vehicle:
BMW
My mechanic said that a small amount of metal flakes in the engine oil filter is normal, but the amount here is significant and shows theres a something going wrong.
Cons: significant metal flakes
Vehicle:
BMW
