Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or OEM BMW

I have religiously changed the oil and oil filter every 5k miles with Liqui Moly TopTec 4200 (with VW spec).

I was using Kirkland synthetic before for topping off and other American oils for oil changes I’m sure, but then I went to a euro auto shop and they switched out for a German filter and oil, LIQUI MOLY, and I got a significant increase in mileage.

Honda OEM filter (Honda used Tokyo Roki oil filters for my bike ????) I used to buy Motul 7100 4T, however the price on that recently SKYROCKETED… it’s almost 80$cad before taxes for 4L (60$ for 1.05669Gal for you freedom folks).I refuse to pay that much for oil, so I now I buy Liqui-Moly Street 4T. And that’s basically the same price that the Motul USED to cost. 50$ (35 eagles, or whatever) I am aware that Motul 7100 has esters added to it, which Liqui-Moly Street does not, and that technically Motul 7100 is a better oil. But it’s not double the price better… I was willing to pay 60$cad, but not 80$cad lol.If I can find Bel-Ray EXP (another ester blend) at the shop, I’ll buy that too :P but Liqui-Moly seems to be much easier to find.

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.

Last weekend I did DSG fluid and filter, LiquiMoly oil flush and oil change, and tire rotation on my B6 Passat.

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)

I’ve always used 5w40 liquimoly with either a k&n or Mann filter.

I bought my oil online, liqui moly 5w30 at $113 and had it changed at jiffy lube for $25. 2013 535i.

$113 including a Fram oil filter.

Normal pricing but don\u2019t go to the quickie lubes. Their oil filters are absolute shit

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.
