BMW CALLS THE FLUIDS LIFETIME, THAT DOSE NOT MEAN DONT CHANGE THEM, OR WHAT
THEY SAY SERVICE THEM. DONT BE DUMB
Awesome video! My local independent BMW mechanic wants to charge to $350 AU
for a “service”
Going to take your advice and man up and do it myself! Cheers
HAHA 9:35
great really no difference then any other car noting the torque and wrench
sizes.
is there some special method/tool required to reset the cars “computer” or
however it tracks oil change time?? That’s what I was told…..?
Thank you so much for the video. You explain everything so well. I followed
your instructions and changed the oil myself today. I can’t believe how
much the dealership wanted to charge for it when it was such a straight
forward job.
With out this video I would have never found the filter THANKS!
Just bought a 1995 540i, The last owner drove the car for 60K miles and
never changed the oil! The oil filter looked like it was beginning to rot.
Awesome video dude! Bmw mechanic wants to charge $350 AU for a “service”
going to man up and do it myself when it’s due!
Awesome….gonna start doing my own oil change myself every 6-7k
miles…thanks
Great video sir. Excellent dialogue, straight forward and clear.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I like this guy,straight and to the point
Super job on the video. I’ll add one top tip for anyone about to do this:
The o-ring on my oil filter housing was wedged/flattened out pretty well in
there, if you follow the o-ring groove (shown in the video) around the
housing, you’ll see small dimple/cutout that you can use to insert a small
plastic hook/pencil tip and just pry out the old flattened one – hope if
helps.
great video
Dude is seriously on point, Man Up
Thanks, this is awesome.. Got my first BMW not to long ago!
AWESOME VID, LIKE THE MECHANICS LENGUAGE TOO, MANNNNN UPPPPP. WISH I HAD A
GARAGE! LOL…
Thanks a lot this is a very good, do it your self video. I was able to
follow your instruction and do my first oil change on my 2005 BMW. Thanks
Thanks for that! How come my oil filter won’t turn? I turned it counter
clockwise and it won’t even budge
awsome and simple video man 🙂 do you have any more?
Great Video……. Here goes nothing!!!!
Great video. I’ve been using BMW 5w-30 oil in my E36. What if any are the
benefits of using Mobil 1 0w-40 despite accessibility? Thanks
@iilovegd You’re welcome. /John
I have another video how to do that. See the video responses to this video.
Thanks. /John
your video helped me out alott thank u soo much! 🙂 but i have a 328xi and
i ask a mechanic and he told me not only do i have to change the oil but i
also have to reset the computer in the car by any chance would you know
exacly how I can do that?
Just to help some one out, jack the car up from the sub-frame, its located
about a foot in from the jack spots (the ones on the side skirts). And if
you’re using jackstands place them where you would normally place the jack.
