His mechanic recommended changing the oil filter housing believing that it was allowing oil to drain from the topend while sitting for extended periods such as overnight and it seems he was correct.

The new filter housing comes with gasket and a BMW oil filter, no oil cooler O rings though.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

I think I have a similar issue. After the car sits overnight, I get a rattle for the first 3-5 seconds on the first start. No prolonged oil light, and it won't happen if the car has been recently driven. The sound also ends very abruptly, like flipping a switch (or sufficient pressure built).
Going to try to pinpoint, but sounds like I'll be replacing the housing.Last edited by Lavatoad; 12-17-2023, 06:21 PM.
