Mann Filter Cartridge Oil Filter HU 6022 z for BMW 540i/740i/8 Series — OE-Quality Filtration, Replaceable Cartridge

The MANN-FILTER HU 6022 z is a replaceable cartridge oil filter designed to provide OE-quality filtration and reliable oil delivery for compatible BMW gasoline and hybrid engines.

This cartridge filter element from MANN-FILTER is engineered for modern European engines that use serviceable filter housings. It combines high dirt-holding capacity, stable filter media and durable seals so the element can trap contaminants, maintain oil flow during cold starts and last through the recommended service interval without replacing the housing. Manufactured by MANN+HUMMEL to meet original-equipment standards, the HU 6022 z fits a range of BMW 5, 7, 8, M and X Series and ensures consistent protection when installed as part of scheduled maintenance.

How does the HU 6022 z protect an engine during startup?

The HU 6022 z is a cartridge-style element that stays inside the oil module, retaining oil so lubrication begins quickly at engine start. Fast oil delivery reduces metal-to-metal friction during the crucial first seconds, while the filter media captures abrasive particles before they circulate. Durable end caps and a flexible O-ring keep a tight seal to prevent bypass or leaks.

• Cartridge design stores oil in the module for quicker lubrication.
• High-efficiency media captures fine and coarse contaminants.
• Robust end caps and O-ring ensure reliable sealing under pressure.

What makes this MANN-FILTER different from standard spin-on filters?

Unlike disposable spin-on units, the HU 6022 z is a drop-in element inside a reusable housing, reducing waste and maintaining the original filter module. The media and construction are tailored to the vehicle's oil flow characteristics to match OE performance. This results in predictable pressure behaviour and filtration performance across the service interval.

• Replaceable cartridge fits existing housing—no module replacement required.
• Media engineered for specific European engine requirements.
• Consistent oil pressure and flow characteristics comparable to OEM parts.

Which BMW models are compatible and how do I confirm fitment?

The HU 6022 z lists fitment for a variety of BMW models including 540i (including xDrive), 740i (including xDrive), 745e xDrive, 8 Series, several M models, X Series SUVs and Z4 variants. Always verify compatibility against your vehicle’s VIN or OEM part number to ensure correct match. If you have the factory oil filter housing part number, compare it to the HU 6022 z cross-reference to confirm fit.

• Common fits: BMW 540i, 740i, 745e xDrive, 840 series, M models, X series, Z4.
• Check vehicle VIN or OEM part number for exact confirmation.
• Compatible with housings that accept replaceable cartridge elements.

What should I expect during installation and service life?

Installation follows standard cartridge oil filter replacement: remove the housing cap, extract the old element, fit the new HU 6022 z, and replace the gasket or O-ring if required. Use manufacturer-recommended oil and torque the housing cap to spec to maintain sealing integrity. The element is designed to last the typical BMW oil change interval when used with proper oil and service practices.

• Simple cartridge swap—no housing change needed.
• Replace O-ring or drain plug gasket as indicated during service.
• Follow vehicle oil-change interval and torque specs for best results.

Who is this for: The MANN-FILTER HU 6022 z is aimed at BMW owners, independent mechanics and service shops that prefer OEM-quality replaceable cartridge elements. It suits drivers who want dependable filtration without replacing the entire filter housing, enthusiasts maintaining European performance vehicles, and fleet technicians who value consistent, OE-level parts for routine maintenance.
