Product Description

The Arrowhead Cap Oil Filter Housing is a crucial component for your BMW's engine, designed to securely hold the oil filter in place and maintain a proper seal within the oil system. This screw-on cap, with its integrated filter cage, ensures that oil is efficiently filtered before circulating through the engine, helping to protect vital components from contaminants.

This part is specifically intended for BMW models, including various E-series such as the E81, E87, E88, E46, E90, X1 E84, and Z4 E85 with N42, N43, N45, and N46 engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Common signs that your oil filter housing cap may need replacement include oil leaks around the cap area, difficulty tightening or loosening the cap, visible cracks or warping, and low oil pressure warnings. You might also notice oil contamination or the oil filter not seating correctly within the housing.

It is important to replace a damaged or worn oil filter housing cap promptly to maintain oil system integrity and prevent leaks or filtration issues. When changing your oil filter, inspect the cap for signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary to avoid future engine problems.
