As any BMW technician will tell you, reusing old oil filter housing bolts dramatically increases the risk of bolt breakage during reinstallation — a particularly costly failure scenario where a snapped bolt can require cylinder head removal to extract the broken piece. Professional repair shops universally recommend replacing these bolts with new fasteners every time the oil filter housing is removed for service. This 3-piece kit provides all three correctly-sized M8 bolts (28mm, 43mm, and 78mm lengths) needed to safely reinstall the oil filter housing during gasket replacement, oil cooler service, or related maintenance work — eliminating the breakage risk and protecting your investment in the larger repair.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OE replacement design – manufactured to factory specifications matching original equipment part numbers 11427540759, 11427540758, and 11427540763\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 3-piece bolt set – includes all three correctly-sized bolts (M8 x 28mm, M8 x 43mm, M8 x 78mm) needed for full oil filter housing reinstallation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength steel construction – delivers reliable clamping force without breakage risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE12 socket compatibility – uses standard E12 external Torx socket for proper installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide cross-platform compatibility – fits virtually the entire modern BMW engine lineup including N20, N26, N51, N52, N53, N54, N55, and S55 variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritical preventive maintenance – addresses one of the most well-known bolt breakage risks in BMW oil system service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAffordable insurance against catastrophic repair scenarios – the small cost of new bolts protects against expensive head removal repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: 100% Brand New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Engine Oil Filter Housing Bolt Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-Strength Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 3 bolts per kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt Sizes: M8 x 28mm, M8 x 43mm, M8 x 78mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTightening Torque: 22 Nm (~16 ft-lbs) – same for all three M8 bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired Tool: E12 External Torx Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Oil Filter Housing to Cylinder Head Mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Compatibility: BMW N20 \/ N26 \/ N51 \/ N52 \/ N53 \/ N54 \/ N55 \/ S55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose: Direct OE Replacement \/ Bolt Replacement During Oil System Service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eOE \/ Replacement Part Numbers:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11427540759 \/ 11 42 7 540 759 (M8 x 28mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11427540758 \/ 11 42 7 540 758 (M8 x 78mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11427540763 \/ 11 42 7 540 763 (M8 x 43mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFitment:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with BMW N20, N26, N51, N52, N53, N54, N55, and S55 engines.

When reused after removal, the bolts can fracture during reinstallation — particularly the longer 78mm bolt which experiences the highest stress concentration. A snapped bolt inside the cylinder head requires either specialized extraction tools (best case) or cylinder head removal for proper extraction (worst case), turning a routine $50-100 gasket replacement into a $1,500-3,000+ repair. Professional repair shops universally replace these bolts during every oil filter housing service.
