Oil Filter
Hey guys, I am having a local shop do a quick oil change for me. I am providing oil and a filter..
for oil I wont touch upon this too much as its been beaten but it seems 0-30w or 5-30w is good enough.. ..my question is where can I get a oil filter? I searched ECS, OEM bmw parts, dinan..couldnt find much. Any help would be appreciated!

Pennzoil 5W-40
MANN HU816X Oil Filter With Pennzoil 5W-40 oil. BMW oil is Shell / Pennzoil .
I like the 5W-40 for Southeast climate and it is BMW LL-01 Approved and the Mann HU816X filter is OEM. The Motul 5W-40 X-Cess is also top-notch but a little thick. |

Mobil 1 0W-40 Engine Oil euro is no longer produced. Maybe ecstuning has some old stock. It is replaced by mobil 1 0w-40FS. IT IS NOT BMW LL-01 approved! That is what the N55 engine calls for. look at this https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ub...bil_1_FS_0w-40 |

Thanks guys for all of your thoughts! I ended up getting Mobil 1 0W-40 and an oil filter kit. My walkable car shop said they will change my oil for 15 bucks. Plan on doing this every 5k and/or after 2 track events. Will alternate with BMW services.

FYI, Mann lists HU8011Z as the filter for the M2. It has the same dimensions as the HU816X. Not sure why the different number.

I wouldn't run it on the M2. https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1 You might be fine if you change the oil every 4k miles and not go the bmw recommended interval.

For the M2 I'll probably run original BMW oil or Motul X Cess 5W-40. Their 0W-40 base I'm not too fond off. I'm a big fan of Motul, runs great in a tuned N54 that we have. I also ran it on the track for awhile in my BRZ solid oil. Maybe look for LL-01 oils from Shell/Penzoil ? |

It looks like the 816X is for N55 engines, and 8011Z is for the M2 N55 engine. They look the same. But one is for the M2, from the Manns website. Gotta go with that.
