MOTOR10 oil filter housing cap BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW X1, BMW X3, 11427508968

Replace the oil filter cap for BMW with a new, 100% compatible one

Picture the classic scene: you've just parked your BMW in the garage, the engine is still ticking gently, and on the floor you notice that small, shiny patch of oil. Nothing is more annoying for a driving enthusiast than the thought that the engine might be losing its precious lubricant. In most cases, the culprit is right on the surface – the oil filter housing cap. If the seal has aged or the thread has failed, the pressure drops, oil leaks and engine protection suffers.

This OEM oil filter housing cap, OE code 11427508968, was created precisely to put an end to these worries. This is the original part fitted by BMW on the production line, made from reinforced polymer that resists high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. The box also includes a new nitrile rubber seal, ready to seal the filter housing perfectly.

Main features:

• Guaranteed compatibility: 1 Series (E81, E82, E87, E88), 3 Series (E46, E90, E91, E92, E93), 5 Series (E60, E61), X1 (E84), X3 (E83) and even the Z4 (E85) roadster – all recognise this OE code without any modification.
• Flawless thread: Tighten to 25 Nm and enjoy peace of mind every time you start the engine.
• No leaks, no stress: Oil pressure stays stable, so you can accelerate with confidence knowing that the bearings, shafts and timing chain receive constant lubrication.
• Fitted in under 5 minutes: A 24 mm socket wrench, one well-judged click and you're done – the engine can breathe easy.

Every long journey, every mountain pass climb or motorway run means thousands of revs per minute and oil sump temperatures of over 100 °C. The filter housing cap is the silent guardian that keeps everything under control. If it cracked at the last oil change or has aged after years of use, replacing it with an original BMW cap is not a whim but a long-term protective measure.

Consider the cost of a major engine repair and you'll see that this cap is the cheapest insurance policy there is.
Fit it at your next oil change and get back to the pure joy of driving, with no stains in the garage and no warnings on the dashboard!
