i DIY or pay a subaru specialty shop for a change, we both use motul, genuine filter, crush ring, just they do oil samples for me cause i dont feel like that hassle
I personally use Motul 5w30 with oem oil filter.
For filters I use Mahle, if I remember correct that is also the OEM supplier, but costs half what a BMW branded one costs.
Motul Oil change kit on subimods, that’s it
Motul and oem filter.
I like using motul with OEM filters but I doubt it's making much of a difference.
I own a f30 (330d) and have done my own oil changes for the past 9 years and change oil every 7k miles. I started out using 0w-20 oil till around 60k mileage. I then switched to 5w30 from 60k mileage for engine longevity. I’ve always used Mahle filters on my car. Mann and Bosch are good alternatives to use too. As my F30 sits quite low I have always jacked it off the ground so I can get access to the sump plug. Also remember to change the washer from the sump plug during every oil change.
4,6 Liter LM TopTec 4200 (Gebinde von 5 Litern ca. 40 bis 50 Euro), Ölfilter Mahle OC456 ca. 13 Euro, Dichtring für die Ölablassschraube
and don't use store bought oil filters unless they sell Mahle or Mann.
Cap was really stuck when taking it off initially. Also required Some force to get back on. When I first just installed new filter I got yellow oil light, still not great. Also noticed oil coming from gap between ofh and cap. And a drip from the top socket end. So end conclusion, mahle oil filters suck
