I'm changing the oil filter housing gasket on my 2000 528i and can't find the torque specs (or procedures) for the filter housing bolts anywhere in my bentley manual.

Can anyone provide me the torque values for the oil filter housing to engine block bolts?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but thats the plastic cover on the oil filter housing where the filter goes in. I'm looking for oil filter housing to engine blocks bolts.

Took a look for torques in factory info. could not find any torques. I would think the mounting bolts are 8.8 grade M8 bolts (but check once you get your bolts off). 8.8 M8 general torque is 24 NM (18 ft-lb.)

I made a page on our tech library for reference:
