A notorious culprit behind those annoying, intermittent oil leaks on BMW engines, the oil filter housing is a surprisingly intricate piece of hardware. Once it starts seeping, there’s no patching it — replacement is the only proper fix. Upgrade to this Febi unit and keep every drop of oil right where it belongs: circulating through your engine, not decorating your driveway. Oil loss is nothing to gamble with.

Don’t risk running your engine dry — refresh your oil filter housing and button up your lubrication system the right way.
