Changing Your Car's Oil Filter

Model: BMW Serie 5 E60, E61 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Oil filter

The oil filter is one of the most important components to consider in your car's maintenance. Each time you change the engine oil, you must also change the filter, which purifies the oil circulating in the engine from impurities and gets dirty very easily.
First, purchase a suitable filter for your car using the owner's manual. Once you have it, start the disassembly process by placing the car on a jack, then take a wrench and go under the car to unscrew the old filter. Pour new oil into the appropriate container and securely screw on the new filter.
