N20 Oil change thread

Starting DIY oil change thread. N20 specific because that's what I have. The goals are - to help DIYers with the procedure and find part sources cheaper than dealer's.

Well, since I have only 400 miles on the car it is too early for the first oil change. Will be doing it in a month or too. With pics. Check later.

However stopped today at the dealership and got an oil filter. BMW p/n 11427566327. Inside there is a filter manufactured by Mann. P/n HU816. Above mentioned BMW p/n is the new one. Some website mention 11427541827 that is supposedly obsolete. Two o-rings and crash washer included too. See pictures below.

Checked Amazon. And found Mann HU816 X filter. It appears to be the same filter. However cannot confirm at the moment. The picture actually shows the filter with HU816 on the side. No "X". Going to order it soon. Most likely it is the same. For half the price.
