And yes, I re-used the copper washer.

BMW doesn't call for a copper washer there. It looks like aluminum.

But that is special and expensive BMW-quality aluminum.

Thankfully the postie delivered my new filter at 6.30pm - £12 from Opie btw- and I completed my oil change. Unlike last time when the old filter was bizarrely stuck and I broke a chain wrench - this filter came off easily.

And yes, I re-used the copper washer.

Did mine this morning as well. Finally.

Almost managed a bit more drama first though.... I went out for a quick run to warm the engine up first - obviously that turned in to a bit more than a quick run because the sun was shining, and... well you know the rest. Got back home and got cracking with the oil change, but couldn't find my newly acquired oil filter socket wrench anywhere.... where the hell could it have got to? I only had it earlier this morning.... Oh. There it is. Attached to the old oil filter, on the bike...

Reused the aluminium washer too...

That proves it's a good fit :)

Thanks, Lee. Good to know it was the crush washer that killed it, not the fact I forgot to put the oil in!
