Over on your Volvo blog, it says the following and I’m wondering if it
applies to BMW filters as well:
“When changing the oil on the inline 6 cylinder, it is very important to
remove the oil filter first before draining the oil. The oil filter housing
on these engines are equipped with a spring loaded valve which is closed
shut by the pressure of the oil filter element. What that does is to
maintain a level of oil in the filter housing during engine operation and
to ensure a fast rise of oil pressure during start-ups. Removing the filter
first allows the dirty oil that is trapped in the oil filter housing to
drain back down into the oil pan. “
how do you know the torque for the screw?
no torque settings and torque wrench for sump plug and filter housing?
Its a good idea to run the car engine warm so when you remove drain plug
not only does the oil come out easier but it takes some of the lose
particles with it. Some mechanics suggest pouring extra oil through to
clear and scum or metal filings.
