Bosch Engine Oil Filter Element P/N:72217WS
Bosch 3986 oil filter for the 2009-2013 BMW X5 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles removes contaminants from engine oil.
Dark, gritty oil on the dipstick or oil weeping around the filter housing can mean the filter or its seal needs attention. Before replacing the filter over a leak, look over the housing and drain plug with the engine off and cool to see where the oil is really coming from.
This is a direct-fit oil filter for the 2009-2013 BMW X5 6-cylinder 3.0L and the 2009-2011 BMW 335d 6-cylinder 3.0L.
