Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will it fit my 2016 model 118i (B38 Engine)? No, it will not fit. The facelifted (LCI) 1 Series vehicles produced after mid-2015 have a 3-cylinder B38 engine, and the oil filter is different. This product is only for 4-cylinder N13 engines produced between 2011-2015.
How much oil does the N13 engine take? BMW 116i and 118i (with N13 engine) vehicles take approximately 4.25 Litres of engine oil with the oil filter change.
What is the difference between the original part and Bosch? Bosch is one of the world's largest automotive parts suppliers. This filter has equivalent quality and performance to the parts installed at authorized service centers for your vehicle.
What is the purpose of the copper washer? The copper washer included in the box is the sealing washer for the oil pan drain plug. Replacing this washer with each oil change is essential to prevent oil leaks.
