Product Details

• Article Number: 7O0078 — Ridex oil filter insert, an economy-tier OEM-equivalent replacement designed for BMW petrol engines.
• Filter Type: Filter Insert (cartridge-style) — a filter element-only design that fits inside a reusable aluminium housing on the engine. Unlike spin-on filters, only the paper element is replaced, which reduces waste and is consistent with BMW's modern service-friendly filter design.
• Supplementary Info: Supplied with gaskets and seals — includes the necessary O-rings required for a proper oil-tight seal against the filter housing. No need to purchase sealing kits separately, saving time and eliminating the risk of reusing old, hardened seals.
• Height: 79 mm — vertical dimension of the filter cartridge, critical for proper seating inside the housing. Always measure your existing filter before fitting to confirm compatibility.
• Inner Diameter: 41 mm — internal bore dimension that engages the housing's central pillar. Must match exactly for correct oil flow and sealing.
• Diameter: 74 mm — outer diameter of the filter, sized to match the inner wall of the OEM housing.
• Shape: Cylindrical — standard round filter profile, common to all BMW inline engines.
• Condition: New — factory-sealed, unused.
• Manufacturer: RIDEX.
• OEM Cross-References: AC AC6281E, BMW 11 42 7 523 201, direct equivalents to the original BMW filter part numbers.
• EAN: 4059191245352
