Oil Filter
The canister type oil filter (3) is located under the
engine by the oil sump. The support for the oil
filter is integrated in the rear oil pump cover.
The oil filter housing (2 with o-ring) is threaded
into the rear of the oil pump cover through an
opening in the oil sump.

The filter element support dome contains an over pressure relief valve. If the filter element
is blocked, this valve bypasses unfiltered engine oil around the element to the supply lubri-
cation to the engine.
Pressure Control
The oil pressure control valve in the oil pump has two functions:
1. Deactivates stage two oil pump circuit above 2 bar. Stage two is only active in the
lower speed range. This is to ensure that there is always sufficient oil pressure for
the VANOS units even at high oil temperatures and low speeds. The oil pump power
consumption is reduced by deactivating stage two.
2. Monitoring the required oil pressure for the engine. The piston in the control valve is
moved by a spring against the engine control pressure which is returning from the
engine. This means that precise monitoring of the actual engine oil pressure is pos-
sible.

Oil Cooling (if equipped)
An oil cooler is used in hot countries. The oil cooler is located in front of the radiator above
the A/C condenser. The engine oil flows from the oil pump through a channel in the
crankcase to a connection on the generator support. The generator support has an oil ther-
mostat. A wax element in the oil thermostat continuously opens the inflow to the oil cooler
when the oil temperature is between 100 ºC to 130 ºC.
Some of the engine oil always flows past the oil thermostat and through the engine with-
out being cooled, even when the oil thermostat is fully open. This ensures a minimum
amount of oil is supplied when the cooler is faulty. A modified generator support, without
connections for the oil thermostat, is fitted to vehicles which do not have an oil cooler.
Technical Data - Lubrication System
The recommended oil is BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil
