Oil Change

I have some questions:

Has anyone used this oil - seems a very good price?

http://www.lubetechshop.co.uk/produc...160d1af07505f7

Where is the oil filter on a 330d? I can see a black plastic domed housing to the right of the engine cover. This has a hex type thing on top and a marking which looks like a torque setting - something like 20 or so N/M. Is this the oil filter cover?

Is the dealer the only place to obtain an oil filter or are there alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

That oils fine, its LL04 and the right viscosity. Less than half the price of Castrol too.

Oil filter is around £12 from the dealer and goes where you said.
