Hi,
I know that this is an old post. Did you remember what torques were used to tighten the 6 oil filter housing bolts ? I am ready to do it in my 2005 530i with minor oil leak ....
Thanks,
Ching-Ho Cheng

Thank you for the torque value. I forgot to ask about the banjo bolt hose torque values too ... 
What should it be when tighten the 19mm banjo bolts ?
Thanks,

M54 Oil Filter Housing Gasket and CCV Replacement
Just did the oil filter gasket replacement. Went quite well except the power steering pump. It was held on to oil filter housing with 3 bolts, not 2 bolts. There was one behind the pump and with bolt head face down! My car has minor leak but I tried to clean up oil residue as much as possible with engine degreaser. I have not installed the housing yet because I am changing CCV at the same time. With oil filter housing and alternator out of the way, it had ample room to install new CCV hoses.
One thing about CCV replacement, I took the oil dip stick out and put in a new dip stick O-ring. When I installed dip stick back, it felt loose before I tightened the 13mm bolt. Was that normal or not right ? I kept pushing down the dip stick but it did not matter how much force I use, it was still loose.
Thanks,
