Collection_136. ETK_11_Engine. Lubricating system oil filter. Oil dipstick
BMW E30 cars with the M20B25 engine were equipped with an oil cooler as standard. To install its hoses on the engine block, a special oil filter adapter with a built-in thermostat is installed.
Lubrication system oil filter


Part #1 - oil filter (11 42 1 707 779). I always use the Mann-Filter (W71915).
Part No. 2 - ring of round section 65X3 (11 42 1 265 670) - 1 pc. Rubber ring.
Part #3 - PUROLATOR oil filter adapter (11 42 1 711 070). Comes complete with built-in thermostat and spring.

Part No. 4 - ring of round section 20.0X3 (11 42 1 714 764) - 1 pc. Rubber ring installed on the bolt (#6). But it is not round, but flat, and flush with the surface of the bolt. At the same time, the bolt goes in quite tightly. And with a round ring, it may not fit at all... Therefore, although I bought such a similar ring, I decided to leave the old original one. If someone changed it, write what it is in the original.
Part No. 5 - sealing ring A27X32-AL (07 11 9 963 441) - 1 pc. Aluminum.
Part No. 5 - sealing ring A24X29-AL (07 11 9 963 384) - 1 pc. Aluminum. It is not clear what this ring is for. Its size does not fit anywhere and it was not installed there. Perhaps this is another error in ETK. If anyone knows for sure, please write.
Part No. 6 - PUROLATOR hollow bolt (11 42 1 711 071) - 1 pc.

Part No. 7 - set of gaskets (11 42 9 059 338) - 1 pc. The set consists of a rubber sealing ring 24.5x3 mm, an aluminum plug, and a metal retaining ring. I don't understand why it is not possible to order the original rubber ring separately, but only together with the plug and retaining ring? Why change the plug? Therefore, I bought a similar rubber ring 24x3 mm separately, although the old one was normal.

Assembly is simple - insert the thermostat and spring into the adapter.

We put the rubber ring on the plug, insert the plug, compress the spring with it and put the locking ring in the groove. Then we put an aluminum sealing ring on the bolt and insert it into the adapter. We insert a large rubber ring into the groove of the adapter. The adapter is assembled.

We bolt the adapter to the engine block in place of the oil filter in this position. Screw the oil filter to the adapter.

After installing the motor, we screw the hoses of the already installed oil cooler to the adapter.
ETK has another type of oil filter:
Environmental oil filter

I have never met him on an E30. If someone has such a filter, I would be grateful for a photo. I wonder what he looks like. Probably something similar to the filter on the M50 engines...
I skip the other sections on the lubrication system, as they relate to the "innards" of the engine.


As I have already said, during its repair there, everything that was necessary was already replaced.

Oil dipstick


Part #1 - oil dipstick L=533.5MM (11 43 1 718 863).
Part #2 - guide pipe (11 11 1 705 786).
Part #3 - bracket (11 43 1 720 566).
Part No. 4 - bolt M6X12 (07 11 9 905 524) - 1 pc.
Part No. 5 - clamp (11 43 1 258 342).
Part No. 6 - M6 nut (07 11 9 905 543) - 2 pcs.

It is important to use the dipstick that matches the motor, as they have different lengths and oil level markings.
The tube is tightly inserted into the engine block. A collar is put on the tube from above, to which the bracket is screwed with a bolt and a nut. The bracket is fixed with a nut and washer to the stud on the intake manifold. Since the collector is not yet installed, I did not install the tube bracket either. So far, I just tried it on in approximately this position.

Next, about the details of the engine block.
