I like to change my filter by itself between scheduled oil/filter changes. Tend to keep my vehicles quite a while, and my dad did this to extend the engine life. My 2007 3.0 X5 could use a change now.

So it looks like I just open up the cap then remove & replace? On my other vehicles in the past the filter is a spin-on mounted low and I have to replace a quart of oil with a new filter so wondering about this one.

Any advice or experience before I do this would be appreciated.
