kiwiaudio Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I was wondering if any of the suggested oil filters fit the BMW tool? I never gave that any thought when ordering my Amsoil. The Amsoil filter is smaller than the BMW, but the folded-towel-insert-in-the-tool-trick did the job for installing. Removal might be more fun, but I'll cross that bridge then. I realize there are other tools out there, but i have this fancy BMW tool - you know Link to comment
dplemmons Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Regarding Amsoil filters...the pre-Ea series used the same filter wrench as the BMW filter wrench. However, like you realized, the new Ea series filters are NOT the same size (smaller)...funny, I used the same method to install mine as I didn't realize the size difference until I was doing the oil change. I ordered part G2309 from Amsoil so that I now have the correct filter wrench. Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Purolator L10241 is the correct oil filter and uses the same wrench as the BMW filters. Link to comment
BFG Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Mobil-1 M1-102 replaces the stock filter and the BMW wrench fits it. Link to comment
kiwiaudio Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Great - thanks guys. I've used the Mobil filters on my vehicles before I got on this Amsoil kick, so I'll use that next time on my RT. Link to comment
