BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve ORIGINAL (M42 M43 M44 Filter Block Valve)
ORJ 11421432228 | BMW Group Original Equipment | Definitive Solution and Quiet First Start
- Thick Oil Disaster: Using a much thicker oil (e.g., 10W-60, 20W-50) than the factory specification to eliminate the rattling noise from the lifters in the morning will ruin the engine from the inside out. The failure is not due to the thinness of the oil, but because the old BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve spring in the block is not performing its function. You should solve the noise by replacing the original part, not with thick oil.
- Dry Start Danger: When the valve fails, oil returns to the sump. When the engine is started in the morning, it runs "dry" without oil on the upper cover (camshaft) for the first 3-5 seconds. This situation leads to complete wear of the engine's upper cover and lifters over time, resulting in enormous rectification costs.
Imported from Germany for BMW's legendary E36 chassis with 4-cylinder (M42, M43, M44) engines, the ORIGINAL BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve with the BMW Group logo has hit the shelves, cutting through that chronic pressure leak issue in the oil filter block like a knife! This mechanical valve (check-valve), which prevents the engine oil in the oil filter and upper cover from draining back into the sump (downwards) when you stop the engine, keeps the line constantly filled. Over time, the heat and effects of engine oil can stretch the spring or wear down the ball inside. A faulty BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve causes the oil pressure light to stay on for 3-4 seconds longer when you start the vehicle in the morning and produces a metallic knocking/rattling sound from the lifters during that time, subjecting your engine to minor torture every morning. To protect the camshafts and lifters from this dry running damage and to maintain oil pressure even when the ignition is off, you can revise your oil block with this brand new BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve. Unlike aftermarket products, this ORIGINAL BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve has perfect sealing tolerances, instantly softening the sound at that first start of your E36 and extending the life of your engine.
- Instant Oil Pressure: A brand new BMW E36 Oil Pressure Valve traps oil in the upper cover after stopping. The light goes out immediately on the first start in the morning, and the engine is lubricated right away.
- End to Lifter Noise: Eliminates those annoying metallic "clack clack" sounds caused by dry running, allowing the engine to run silkily quiet.
- ORIGINAL BMW Quality: Produced by BMW Group in original packaging. Its internal mechanism does not melt under high heat and chemical oil additives, and it does not leak pressure.
- Cost-Effective Repair: Allows you to solve the problem much more economically by renewing just this valve inside without having to completely replace the entire oil filter block (body).
