M50 M52 S50 S52 Oil Filter Housing Upgrade

This Oil Filter Housing is an OEM component that serves as a direct upgrade for BMW inline-six engines including M50, M52, S50, S52, M52TU, and M54. These engines were NOT originally equipped with an external oil cooler from the factory in many applications, making this housing an ideal solution for adding oil cooling capability.

The oil filter housing is a critical part of the engine’s lubrication system, responsible for securely mounting the oil filter while directing consistent oil flow throughout the engine. Proper oil circulation is essential for reducing wear, maintaining temperature control, and ensuring long-term engine health.

As an upgrade, this housing allows you to easily integrate an external oil cooler system. By installing an oil filter housing adapter kit, you can run feed and return lines using -10AN fittings, providing a clean and efficient way to improve oil temperature management. This is especially beneficial for high-performance builds, track use, or forced induction setups where additional cooling is necessary.
