is there a DIY for replacing the oil filter housing seals? Got the car back from BMW and they wrote: "Oil filter housing seals starting to leak. Recommendations: rec replace seals and clean. leak just started" - $515.11 Other one was replace battery $489.
How hard is it to replace a seal?
I also been reading on batteries. Everyone has their opinion. Which one do you like?

Here's a link from Bentley for the M54 engine. Looks pretty straight forward.

Oil filter gaskets aren't hard and cost about $25 for the kit.
