The housing is from an S52 Euro, or S54 as they both use the same housing and a factory oil cooler.
It is not a check valve, it is a thermostat. It lets ~10% of the oil past it when the oil is not at temp. and once the oil gets to temp it opens the thermostat and diverts ~90% of the oil through the cooler.
The check valve for these is right under the actual filter.
Edit: is that a picture of the block? M54's don't have metal OFH's to the best of my knowledge. I have only seen plastic ones on them. -
That white and gold housing is from a 06 X3 M54B30.

Well it's a deal. I am leaving the great state of Wisconsin. Moving to Austin, MN area. I am now a senior electronic technician for our Engineering R&D group. I think this will be a fun job, basically a junior controls engineer.
Now to sell my house... Anyone want to move to Platteville? Everything redone on the house, nice warm garage with 60A 240 service...

Possibly my last Friday as a carpenter.
Supposed to be switching to ironworkers union next week (Monday) or the week after.
Pay is close.....I think a dollar an hour more.
Benefits......much better!!!
What prompted the switch?

A good majority of the work I do in the door industry would be considered ironworkers work.
Rolling doors, high speed doors, fabricating, dock equiptment, etc.
The carpenters and ironworkers unions both recognize that there aren't enough of either to do all the work. "Composite crews" (one of each) are allowed. Hiring guys out of the union halls can be hit or miss when it comes to door experience....more miss honestly.
With me having 20yrs experience and approx 20 more years to work it makes good sense to switch and be a "company" iromworker.
Hope this makes sense.

I was looking for the trans oil capacity and found siennachat forums. i saw an offtopic section. I didnt dare venture in, but im sure the threads are like "Does anyone else hate the way Huggies brand diaper wipes smell?!?!?"

Wife's DD is a Honda Odyssey. I'd imagine the topics are very similar!!
The Odyssey does have something like 18 cup holders......kids and wife complained when I bought the Touring...."where do you put your drinks?"
No drinks I said!!!
Back ones were inoperable when I bought it, 1 front one as well.

Paper from the copy machine has more pigment.
I only see one hand wrapped around the waist (which is scary!!!)
Where's the other one.......

My wife complained about the cup holders in my e36's... rightfully so. Now she complains about the cup holders in my e90 because they wouldn't hold a 24oz traveling mug she had! I'm just happy that I can put a 16oz can in them without spilling!

Cup holders?
