Big O ring for oil filter...also a small O ring for inside oil filter.
X1 X drives have a reusable metal plug, but you get crush washer.
X1 sdrives get a plastic plug.
I'm gonna reuse my plastic plug this time.
There are 2 different Mann filter kits that give crush washer or new plastic plug.
Xdrive refill with 6 quarts while s28i's get 5.5 quarts.
My oil level has never moved, so I put half quart in when about 6k miles.
I'll drain when OLM is zeroed at about 11k miles and measure how much comes out to predict a reasonable amount to add during oil run.
Edit: The used oil filled a 5 quart jug back up, so I guess I don't use much.
