Oil Filter Caution For
BMW Extended Oil Change Interval Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding an oil filter caution for extended oil change interval engines. These engines, the M52TU, M54, M62 and M73 may be affected if the proper oil filter element is not used when extended oil filter intervals are endured. BMW has offered this extended 15,000-mile interval service to certain high performance vehicles only if the service is implemented by a BMW dealer. This extended interval period also mandates the use of specifically formulated synthetic engine oil obtained from BMW.
A new oil filter element has been developed for all BMW models with extended service intervals (approximately 15,000 miles). This filter must be used whenever an oil service is performed on an extended oil change interval engine. 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 September of 2000 and on all M62 and M73 powered vehicles in July 2000.
Using any other filter or engine oil in these engines may prove harmful to the engine if the filter paper deteriorates before filter replacement. At this time BMW approves no other filter or oils for use on these engines.
