Product Description

This Arrowhead gasket oil filter housing is designed for use in BMW engines, providing a crucial seal between the oil filter housing and the engine block. Its multi-lobed shape and integrated tabs ensure a precise fit, helping to prevent oil leaks and maintain optimal oil pressure within your engine.

Compatible with a range of BMW models, this gasket is commonly found in vehicles such as the E81, E87, E46, E90, E60, E83, E84, and E85 series with N40, N42, N45, and N46 engines. Always confirm your BMW's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure the correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing oil filter housing gasket include visible oil leaks around the oil filter housing, low engine oil levels, oil stains under the vehicle, and potential warning lights on the dashboard. You may also notice a burning oil smell or engine bay residue caused by escaping oil.

Replacing this gasket is recommended whenever you detect oil seepage from the oil filter housing area or during routine oil filter housing maintenance. Ensuring the gasket is in good condition helps prevent more serious engine issues down the line.
