Hey all, Christopher and Vera sent me. Picked up my 4th LR/RR recently. 05 RR hse with bmw 4.4. I know people hate this engine, but mine seems to run excellent with 160k. Vehicle was well maintained. Only concern is an occasional oil pressure light at idle. Oil pressure seems great though and plenty of oil flinging around valve covers. I know my bmws had issues with collapsing oil filters, so I immediately suspect this. But on my particular RR the oil filter housing is remote (located near radiator) and no matter where I go for a replacement I get given the wrong one. The filter I keep getting given has a plastic core and hollow bottom paper filter, but the one I need has a metal core and threaded bottom. This doesn't look to be an aftermarket oil filtration setup or anything, what gives? I'd really like to get this filter replaced. I'm also stuck dealing with some canbus issues and invalid rode height but that's all for another post. Love these old girls. She really feels like she carrying you gently down the road, in whatever condition. A whole different driving experience. (Protip, don't do a coil conversion to yours, I've had 4lrs, one with AB coil kit, and it destroys the LR/RR experience on highway completely, off road is alright but on road it's a complete molestation).

Well thx for any help, and ty for the service manuals. Great site 👍

Oops Christian. 😆

Small correction to your typo. It's an M62, not N62.  Ron B. VK2OTC

Just to check, the L322 M62 has a remote oil filter housing that, if you look in the engine bay, is behind the top right of the radiator. It takes a 'paper' style cartridge inside it which sits around a removeable plastic centre as seen here:

The socket size for the oil filter cap is 36mm. The oil filter you need is the LPW500030 like this:

I had this on tickover. Best solution was to drop the sump plate, remove the pickup and strainer, and clean the strainer using a sharp pick. If the guides have previously gone then there will be bits in the strainer restricting the oil flow. Easy job to do.

Change your filter for a MANN filter

And while at it, replace the oil pressure sensor

Finally, make sure the conical shaft on which the filter is attached is fully screwed down and the bottom of the oil filter housing is free of debris
