OIL CHANGE m42 318IS

[5style]

Ok , its summer and I need an oil change and transmission oil change. So, what kind of filter and where to get it cheap? I will not be dropping the oil pan this time. What brand/ grade of oil is recommended for summer? How much L? The drain plug is right under the engine right? Also, i have no idea whats in my car, is it safe to go to synthetic?

Next, transmission 5 speed. the drain plug is on the bottom I see. Where do i fill her from and how much and what grade?

Thanks guys, its my first e36 so i don t know.
