Oil filters for F34? Mann HU816x?

Gran_Turismo · 03-29-2019, 08:49 PM

Is the mann HU816x good for the N26 328 xdrive? Or can someone recommend a good non oem alternative??

Do not use a non OEM. Why would you? To save a dollar? Mann or Mahle, that's it. The HU816X is the correct Mann filter.

I meant non oem as in not BMW branded. I know BMW uses Mann and other brands. I just needed to know if this filter was the correct one so I can place an order by tonight. Thanks for the info!

The only difference between BMW branded and Mann or Mahle is the box they come in, and the price you pay.

I just used a BMW branded one and the BMW oil when I did the oil change (quick dump of the initial oil after 2k miles). getbmwparts.com prices were lower than buying an aftermarket filter and the wrong spec oil from the many online places.

Side note: the 0w-20 oil flows like water coming out. Having come from 10w-60 oil in the M3, it's pretty amazing to see such low viscosity oil coming out. The 0w-20 oil pours nicely from the container cold too!

I ordered Castrol 03037 EDGE 5W-30 A3/B4 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil. I was reading on the forum that this oil should be good for N26 328 xdrive.

Any input on this oil for our 328 xdrive F34s?

My 2018 330 requires 0w-20 in BMW Longlife-17 fe+ spec oil.
