Hello everyone, I am driving a 1985 BMW K100RT.
I'm in the process of changing my oil with all the filters. I bought a Neste 20w50 oil, which has API SF/CC. This oil meets all bmw recomendations. I do trust this engine oil, which is made in Finland, is quite good.
But I recently had problems in finding an oil filter for my bmw. The one from BMW company, or a genuine one, costs over 30 euros, and I couldn't find the Mann filter. So, my last chance was EBAY.
So, after all the search, I found an EMGO filter, which was rather cheap, though it had a number of good recommendations. So, I bought it and finally it came to my hands. The quality seems to be good. BUT: on the box it was written:
"IMPORTANT: For best engine protection we recommend you replace your oil filter when changing oil. Do not exceed 1500 miles (2400 km) without checking and changing this oil filter".
Does that mean that I have to change this oil filter every 2400 km?
I used to change oil with oil filter every year, but never exceeding 8000 km.
Can engine be damaged if I don't replace it every 2400 km?
Thanks for your answers.
Oil filter: EMGO, nr. 10-26740
