oil filter, fuel filter, air filter...e36

[WarNox 1]

I rang up team mcmillan in auck yesterday and they quoted me:

$36 air filter

$15 smtin oil filter

$50 smting fuel filter

+ GST all of them so came to $117.30 inclusive GST for everything.

Does anyone know where i could get it cheaper?

and they say to use Castrol 15W40 oil.

thnx guys

Why look elsewhere, that doesn't seem too bad to me at all.

That sounds pretty good and it's all genuine stuff.

Can some please clear up this for me... How many litres EXACTLY does an early model E36 320i take?

[WarNox 1]

yea thats true.

I think if you do an oil change you'll need 6L to fill it up fully! hayne's said so...but i'd like some 1 else to confirm it too. thnx!

I've been told varying amounts between 4 & 6 - 2L is quite a big difference!!

[my_e36 43]

It's actually 6.5 litre.

all 6-cyc e36 takes 6.5 litre

most 4-cyc e36 takes 5 litre

[my_e36 43]

By the way, those prices looks pretty good.

Should try $60 for a genuine air-filter at Honda!

well a 2.5L e36 cant take the same as a 2.0L. The 2.0 takes 6 and the 2.5 takes about 7.5! ill ring up bmw on monday just to make sure. i think i'll buy everything online, it'll still come cheaper afta all the shipping costs! ill let u know how it goes. thnx!

my 318 took exactly 4L (and its just a tad above the dipstick) which is alright.

those prices seem pretty fair...my oil filter alone was like 30 bux from parts master...owned haha. and yeah i used castrol 15w40, thats what they had at my workshop!
