INEOS OIL FILTER PART NUMBERS AND REVIEW - B57 & B58 MOTOR

[TheDocAUS]

BACKGROUND
This post is in two parts. Part 1 lists possible third-party suppliers of oil filters for the INEOS Grenadier B57 Diesel Motor (the oil filter is also used on the B58).

Part 2 looks at some third-party oil filter available in Australia. It summarises some basic features with a view to help you decide what may suit your needs.

When in doubt use the INEOS oil filter.

PART 1
Below is a list of oil filters (including part numbers) for the INEOS Grenadier B57 Diesel Motor. The B58 Petrol Motor uses the same oil filter (thanks @Logsplitter). The base list is from the AUTOMOTIVESUPERSTORE in Australia with names I added, plus the RYCO filter courtesy of @DenisM.

I could not verify the lists accuracy for all filter brands, but the INEOS (supplied by BMW), the BMW 11 42 7 826 799, the MANN Filter HU6022Z, the RYCO R2829P and the Sakura EO-30300 all seem correct (all are discussed further in the oil filter review in Part 2 below).

PART 2- OIL FILTER REVIEW IN AU
I sourced several oil filters in Australia and did a visual review of the available filters. Table 2 below summarises various aspects concerning the filters including cost, filter type, country of origin, weight, number of pleats, etc.

Unfortunately, I could not locate much information about the performance of each brand like micron size and efficacy, the manufacturers do not seem to make the information readily available. One exception was the RYCO whose oil filter rating is 30 microns at @ 98.7% efficiency. This is one of the most important features of a filter’s performance (I was looking for something more than a vague comment that the filter meets or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications.)

The Table shows the number of pleats varies between the filters (low of 41 and high of 50) as does the country of origin. The INEOS/BMW filter has the most pleats at 50. Theoretically speaking the higher the number of pleats in the filter, the greater the surface area. But this is unconfirmed without pulling the filters apart, something beyond this visual review.

Each filter kit has a spare O-ring for the oil filter cap and a washer for the sump plug, except the MMR. BMW call the O-ring the "Oil filter cover sealing ring".

Visually there is little difference between the oil filters, although the pleats are not as vertical in the MANN Filter compared to the other brands (see first image below). The MMR is different because it is a Stainless Steel Lifelong filter. The MMR is the best quality of all the filters reviewed and the heaviest. The Sakura is hands down the cheapest filter, and appears to be similar build quality to the other paper filters.

One downside of the INEOS oil filter (supplied by BMW) is the BMW’s reputation for disintegrating while being removed. So make sure you follow the service schedule and carefully remove the filter to avoid a disintegration. A good practice for the third party filter brands as well.

The INEOS/BMW filters in Europe are sourced from Tunisia, but my Australasian sourced oil filter appears to come from Mexico (the filter says Tunisia, but the box says Mexico). I have also seen MANN filters stating from both Germany and Turkey.

The filters were photographed from the top and the side. The MMR filter does not have the same shape top as the other filter brands. The MMR is round but the others differ. One reason I will hesitate to use the MMR, until I know more. Because the MMR is a lifelong filter, you must carefully follow the cleaning instructions during oil changes (when you must clean the MMR oil filter). The O-ring on the filter cap should be replaced at each oil change. The MMR Performance fitting/cleaning instructions can be found here.


Left to right the filters are MMR, INEOS/BMW, MANN, RYCO and Sakura.

SOME OBSERVATIONS

1. Manufacturers are not keen to publish the micron and efficiency ratings for their filters. One of the most important factors to consider when buying an oil filter.
2. There is no obvious direct correlation between the pleat count and the filter’s weight. As the weight is also influenced by the total amount of plastic used and the paper thickness.
3. It is no surprise the stainless-steel MMR filter is the heaviest, by some margin.
4. You need to carefully follow the oil service schedule, or shorten it, to hopefully avoid a filter disintegrating - a known problem with the INEOS/BMW oil filter.
5. There is no hands down winner. It is a balancing exercise for each owner based on their own needs.

MY CHOICE?
Remember the elephant in the room, few manufacturers are telling you the micron rating and the filter’s efficiency. If you find this data let me know so Table 2 can be updated.

Sakura is a respected OEM filter supplier, its filter is of a similar quality to the other brands, it has a large pleat count (48) and is by far the cheapest at AUD10.41. If you are interested in a third-party filter, it is a compelling choice.

If you have no appetite for third party suppliers, stick with the INEOS/BMW filter.

Draft flag removed. More links added to Table 1. INEOS oil filter now added to Table 2 and the images.

I will add weight in grams in due course to Table 2 (still looking for my food scales). EDIT: found, weights added to Table 2.

The Country of Origin seems to be an enigma. The INEOS oil filter says made in Tunisia on the filter, but made in Mexico on the box !

*Postage costs are not included. #Theoretically speaking the higher the number of pleats in the filter, the greater the surface area. ## probably a Cellulose/Synthetic Blend.

Thanhkyou so much for this excellent work

WEIGHING METHODOLOGY FOR TABLE 2
The Scales were placed on a hard surface. The Scales were zeroed out. Each filter was gently placed on the centre of the scales and the weight noted.

If I wanted to be more precise, I should have weighed each filter three times and taken an average. But I did not.

One reason why the Sakura weighs less is because the thickness of the plastic at the top and bottom of the filter is thinner than the other filter brands. You can see this by looking at the side on image above - look at the top and bottom parts touching the paper filter. In contrast, the MMR filter is thickest at those points.

Whilst no doubt we are all grateful, me thinks you have far too much time on your hands.

The delivery has been delayed by at least 2 weeks so far. I had to find something to do! After the accident I had to retire.

Which reminds me, I meant to ask how recovery is going?

Which reminds me, I meant to ask how recovery is going?

I continue to get better, but have a few issues I am working on.

However, way better than 12 months ago, 23 Feb is the one year anniversary.

I got my oil filters at the local BMW dealer, $22/each.

As a BMW M5 owner (not bragging, I'm third owner), I have found Turner Motorsport to be a reliable and very competitive on price, BMW parts supplier.

Added to Table. That is an extended life filter, so there may also be a standard one from STP.
