Oil Filters

[Iain Hogg]

For those of you that believe that an oil filter is an oil filter no matter who makes it, Halfords have oil filters for the 11*0GS at £5.79.

Guess who just paid £10.40 for one with B*W stamped on it

Ok, so the expensive one had a bag of crush washers, but I've got a load of them already.

at least you would have some recompense with bmw if your filter failed for some reason and damaged the engine!!! try getting any joy out of halfords etc if that happened.all genuine parts are warranted for 2 years.

BMW recommend you change the oil filter annually, regardless of the miles driven ??

Been in again and had a look, filters are Champion C301.

Specified for R1100GS amongst others - but no mention of 1150

But, there are no crush washers supplied
