This video was heaven sent!!!! Saved me $160….Thank you sooooooo much!!!
Can you tell me the name of the pieces you use to lift the car?
stupid question but can you use the car jack to get under the car? is it safe?
Hi Zach- I use castrol edge 0w30- I change every 10k miles- my driving is mostly motorways (average trip 25-50miles daily). BMW recommend every 15k (which is evidently so that they sell more cars..), isn’t 7kmiles too little far high grade synthetic oil? Have you seen problems on e46 330d’s from changing oil every 10k miles, not your recommended 7k? Thanks! Chris
Thanks!
Where do you get the crush washer and the o-ring?
I put 6.5 quarts of mobile 1 synthetic 5-20 its very thin. 5-30 or 10-30 is thicker(05 BMW 525i) in my other vehicles I mix 15-40 and 5-40 because 15-40 is so thick I mix in a little 5-40
Very helpful again. Maybe do the tie rod and oil change on the same day. Thanks Zach
Relatively straight forward job, would cost £100 at a garage.
Can you tell me where you got that filter? It looks like one of those synthetic fiber filters. Thanks
i have a 04 235i n i want to do its 1st oil change since i bought it but the filter cap is stuck and wont move at all any ideas on how to loosen it so i can change the filter
i have all ready tried a bunch of things even the tool u used in this video
is there a sensor i have to replace for a 2006 330xi?
As long as you use fully-synthetic oil you should be able to extend oil change life to about 7,000 miles. I usually make a sticker on the “due date” to change the oil. Good luck- Zach
Not yet, im working on it though !!! :) – Zach
can you tell me, how to check on E46 how many miles I can run until oil change comes up? And can I reset counter if I change oil before 15000 miles as factory says?
Thanks
Is there a video for Differential Oil Change & Automatic Oil Change on BMW 325ci 2002?
Awesome video bro’ thank you so much, but i have a question, for a deeper cleaning, should i pour a little bit of oil with the bottom cap opened, or is it ok to just drain the old oil, pour the new and that’s it?
Mobil 1 is an approved full-synthetic by BMW.
its very easy
i have new car and i goning doing change oil
great vid amigo
Hi,whats your opinion for a 0W40 Castrol full synthetic for Germany.The winter here is really cold.I would like my motoroil to warm really quick…tnx
Is this video and the rear brake replacement good to use for 1999 323i?
wow your filter cap came off so easy
CAMBIO DE ACEITE DE VMW 1995540I
just missing reset, after the oil change? right
Hello the drain plug is about 18lb ft. And the filter you choose should have a TQ spec. on it. Good luck!
Great video! Just want to ask you if you do have a torque settings in tightening the oil filter and drain plug? Thanks
Thanks for sharing your knowledge millertimebmw ! Greetings from Poland !
Lubro Moly 5w30 is really good I go about 7000 miles with it. Got my oil analyzed after 5000 and they told me i could have gone more the oil was still highly viscious
Identical !
