I haven't found any information on that, though hI've only seen the oil drained from petrol ones online and this has been via the sump plug. And via the sump plug for the diesel in BMW applications. A sump plug crush washer is included with the BWM filter replacement kit too suggesting the sump plug has to come out as part of the drain.
I didn't mean cold cold, but after the engine has rested for a bit for oil to drain dow from the head etc.
your sump plug has been opened at least once . the factory plug has an aluminum crash washer . you obviously have a copper there so someone pulled the sump plug at somepoint .
Interesting, I haven't been able to find any pictures of an unopened sump but the OEM (from BMW) oil filter replacement kit comes with a copper crush washer, as do most 3rd party kits. It appears there is a couple of different filters used in the B57 with AUS and EU using different ones, part number and manufacture location at least, though I'd assume they are interchangeable and they could use different crush washers depending on market.

You can see my oil change thread where i think i had a picture of the washer .

I've bought a Ryco oil filter kit to have my service redone by an independent, it was their recommendation having worked on these engines in BWMs, they said the BMW filter can disintegrate when you goto remove it and a quick search of the net backed up this claim. They also said Ryco guarantees their filters to be OEM quality or better so will cover damage done to the engine if something fails and it's found to be the fault of their oil filter which gives confidence.
There's also a good thread in this forum that looks at the available filter options in AUS (as well as showing the 2 different BMW options depending on market) and gives a review of each, Ryco were the only one to provide a filter rating, thanks to @TheDocAUS for putting this (and a lot more information) together!
INEOS OIL FILTER PART NUMBERS AND REVIEW - B57 & B58 MOTOR
BACKGROUND This post is in two parts. Part 1 lists possible third-party suppliers of oil filters for the INEOS Grenadier B57 Diesel Motor (the oil filter is also used on the B58). Part 2 looks at some third-party oil filter available in Australia. It summarises some basic features with a view...
Thanks, are you able to send me a link to it, I can't find it, would love to see!
Thanks for that!
That's a proper "gouge"price
Who's the Brisbane dealer? I've heard a lot of good things about SLRV (Gold Coast I believe?) and Magic (Perth) when it comes to purchasing OEM service parts etc. And servicing in general!That's a proper "gouge"price
I bought mine from the Bris. Ineos dealer...the genuine filter "kit" $40 plus a few cents, everything including crush washer in the box... they're certainly doing the brand no favours. A call to Glenn Boyd at head office is certainly warranted...

Glad you enjoyed getting under the car, I certainly didn't. While there's reasonable clearance, enough to squeeze under, the fronts/sides, and there's a bit more in the centre section, I didn't find it too too pleasant at a mental level, I was looking forward to getting out of a confined space, standing up and having the world spin for meThe original crush washer is the alloy one on the right. Just in the process of changing the oil. What a cathartic "Freudian" experience that is!!! After lying under the vehicle and then arising like Lazarus...well let's say the world spins... must be an age thing....that and the blood pressure meds...
