Always use BMW genuine oil or Liqui Moly, along with BMW OEM M oil filters, which are made in Austria and feature an ultra-fine mesh for superior filtering.

Pros: superior filtering

I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.

Pros: problem literally solved
Cons: EPC would be nonstop
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Euro 0-20, BMW oil filter from Amz, $11.00 (buy filter and give to the oil change shop), always make sure oil change shop gets oil filter cover and oil pan screw torqued at 25 lbs (18 nm).

I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with

Pros: BMW filters are reliable
Cons: Chinese filters are unreliable

Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.

Cons: oil leak, burning smell
Vehicle: Subaru Legacy
