BMW 2002 530i E39 M54 oil change

Jack up car on the level before changing oil. I am using a Mann-Filter HU 925/4 X Oil Filter, which includes the large O-ring and a new oil drain plug washer. The two small O-rings at the tip of the housing cover are not included in this kit and were not replaced.

I used royal purple 5w30 but switching to euro 5w30 next time also running knn oil filter runs good

[@thechronic555]

Ill never use k&n oil filters ever again. Used the recommended on my chevy truck and it literally unscrewed itself after the 2nd time i used the hole on the end (for extreme offroad purpose shit) to wire tie it to frame and after crankin it tight THE 2ND TIME it unwound and in turn wound the small amount of kind of heavy gauge wire in a tight spiral BLOWIN SEVERAL MORE QUARTS OIL! Thank goodness i was aware both times when i normally accellerated it popped rtf off!

It is not the appropriate oil for this car. U need to use A3/B4 formulation

[@msbrunell]

It is true that BMW did not certify Mobil 1 5W-30, but they did certify Mobil 1 0W-40. I have no problem running this 5W-30 (been doing so for years with zero problems).

@@msbrunell Next time try euro oil. You'll notice difference.

[@msbrunell]

You got me curious so I checked my records. The last oil change was in June, and I used BMW TwinPower Turbo 5W-30 Engine Oil (purchased from ECS Tuning). I guess I forgot about that (usually use the Mobil 1). I can't say I noticed a difference. But in the future I will consider euro oil.

6.5 liters oil or 7 ?🧐🤔

[@msbrunell]

It's 6.5 liters, or 6.9 US quarts.

[@Sifsarmonikas]

I think manual says 6.5, last time I did mine it took 7lt in order to show just a bit lower than the max point on the dipstick

[@eatmybuttgavin5137]

Is it basically the same on a 2001 530i?

[@KMPTK]

Of course
