Oil filter housing, removing and installing

(N52 engines)

Drain engine coolant. Remove electric cooling fan.

See 170 Radiator and Cooling System.

Loosen oil filter cover to allow oil in filter housing to flow into pan.

Remove intake manifold, see 130 Fuel Injection Siemens DME

(Non-Turbo).
NOTE
Intake manifold removal is required to access a difficult-to-reach oil
filter housing fastener (bolt D). This bolt is located at right side of
oil filter housing under intake manifold. It may be possible to
access this bolt without removing the intake manifold using
suitable tools (universal joints / e-torx socket).

If necessary, remove oil cooler from oil filter housing. See Engine oil
cooler, removing and installing (N52 engines) given earlier.

Working at oil filter housing:

Disconnect coolant line from housing (A).
Remove oil pressure sensor (B).
Remove bolts C and D and remove oil filter housing from engine.

Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:

Clean mating surfaces and replace o-rings and seals.
Be sure not to over tighten fasteners to avoid damaging seals.
