Red Line oil outperforms the factory oil when it comes to strength under stress. Factory-type oils are engineered for efficiency and include additives to enhance lubrication, reduce emissions, and improve fuel economy. But in the high performance world we live in, these oils break down faster leaving your engine unprotected. Red Line Oil is simply engineered for a more demanding environment while still exceeding BMW LL-01 standards. Red Line oil is a special formula that is perfectly suited for older higher mileage engines. The thicker viscosity leaves a better film on high wear surfaces (such as camshaft lobes and lifters) and helps piston rings seal better against cylinder walls. BMW has recently discontinued its factory 5W30 in favor of 0W20 and 0W30 weights which are absolutely too thin for higher mileage engines with poor sealing. The need for a high performance motor oil is greater than ever.
The Mahle oil filter kit includes the filter, two cap o-rings, and a drain plug crush seal. We insist on OEM or Original BMW filters for our customers. Mahle is an OE supplier to BMW for this and many other filters and components found in your BMW. As an original supplier, Mahle's filter products meet or exceed the requirements from BMW. They are engineered for the correct fit and filtration needs of the N51 and N52 six-cylinder engines. A oil filter housing cap tool is recommended.
