SUBJECT
New Oil Filter Element

MODEL
All with M52TU, M54, M62 and M73 engine

SITUATION
A new oil filter element has been developed and must be used on all BMW models with extended service intervals (approximately 15,000 miles) whenever an oil service is performed.

The new oil filter element incorporates improved filter paper, which prevents filter deterioration caused by high engine oil temperatures over extended time.

The new oil filter element was phased into production on M54 powered vehicles in 9/00 and on all M62 and M73 powered vehicles in 7/00.
