When the dealer changed the oil & filter for me, the bill shows 6 qts.

 

My R56 full was 4.5qts and they always used 5qts. They said it doesn't matter if they overfill it a little. A bunch of owners were worried about it because it happened routinely at dealerships across the country.

 

You would think we can trust BMW's maintenance computer by now. They had them in their E30's back in the 80's!
Since I'm going to be racking up the mileage on my F56 it's better for me to have less change intervals. Just hope the engine doesn't sludge up like the one posted previous. :-(

 

Has anyone found any aftermarket brand oil filter that can substitute the above oem PN?

I ordered one online from a BMW dealer and had to pay $27 inc. shipping.

 

We have it here currently around $16.47 . In stock. Just get a couple for the future. Its very new so no aftermarket at this point. Its made by Mahle, I know that.

Anyone know what the proper torque specs are for the oil filter and drain plug?

 

I have a 2015 Mini Cooper S. Is the PN for the OIL Filter on a 2015 MCS the same as is listed in this thread for 2014 MCS , 11-42-8-570-590?
