Valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket replacement

Vlad588 · 06-29-2013, 03:56 PM

Valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket on my 2008 335i coupe are leaking oil and i'll be replacing them myself. I was wondering if anyone can suggest what other gasket should i replace as a preventative maintenance while i got the car opened up.

To take the oil filter housing out you'll have to take the intake manifold out because you can't reach the the bolt that's under the intake mani. Change the intake mani gaskets too when you put it back. Make sure you seat the gaskets properly especially in the back of the valve cover.
