For anyone curious there are 2 E8 torx on the metal plate and 16 11mm nuts holding the manifolds on and 2 10mm on the coolant tank also coolant tank does NOT have to be removed, unbolt and rotate out of the way; hope this helps someone

Only 3 minutes in and already you do a better job than most people on TH-cam. Good job

I have heard it said you must "pre load" the center bearing. How does one do this?

This may be the greatest diy video of all time. Good job actually breaking down certain stuff instead of flying through.

I'd bet my left nut and a bag of chips this video was produced by your local Valvoline Oil Change chains. ;)

Man Good look on this Oil pan Replacement!! I’m about to tackle this on my 535i xdrive using your guide, I know there’s additional steps with my model but this guide will help ALOT! New subscriber here!

Just curious what size socket was used on the manifold stem nuts? 10mm?

Was looking for info on the filter types and your video helped alot. Thanks!

Can someone please help me as i have this hose coming out of engine oil pan(image link below) in my bmw E90 320i with n46 engine, my previous owner closed the hose with some pliers and i have seen in some videos that this hose connects with some pipe. please someone help me what i am missing. i.ibb.co/crpT15v/Whats-App-Image-2024-04-25-at-11-57-44-AM-2.jpg

I have a 2011 E92 Manual and I don’t see that PCV drain hose(24m15sec) that leads to the oil pan. Is it possible that the design has changed on the LCI’s ? Anybody know?

New oilpan bolts necessary?

Do you have to remove the suspension? Control arm?

Good video! Couple of suggestions, always put the tire you take off under the vehicle for another layer of safety. Putting the bolts in bags and labeling them is a good idea that I normally don’t do but, will in the future. To add to it, I would add the torque specs on the bag 🙂

Hey , I plan on doing this soon and I wanted to know if unbolting the mounting bracket gave you enough room to extract the broken bolts. If not what did you have to remove or do to get t the bolts easier? I would like to know what to expect before y into this job. Thanks and please get back to me at your earliest convenience!

The answer is no, not realistic for most weekend warriors. The amount of disassembly is just silly for an oil pan.

By far the best and most informative oil pan gasket video! Thank you so much for the great video. I actually have the confidence to do this. I’m new to the N54 scene and this videos step by step is awesome!

I did this job and also managed to destroy my centre support bearing during installation. I knackered the bearing itself by accidently tapping it. But had to drive with it that way until getting a new one. If you dont have a pipe I saw that you can actually use the other part of the drive shaft itself to push down the bearing

are all 2006 330's having two Giubo's? Mine is the X with All wheel drive

Loosen and remove 😢the oil filler cap and set it sideways on the hole . This allows air to enter the crankcase which makes the oil drain out a little quicker. The oil filter cap also has a torque setting. You don’t want to tighten it so much that it strips the threads as it’s plastic. I think the torque number is 18 ft lbs???

Costco dexos compliant 5w30 no good?

You missing the video for the driver side

Good

Yeah of course HIS filter just popped right into the housing

WHAT ARE THE GREEN BUSHINGS FROM THE 1ST ZIPLOCK?? im doing my gasket rn and saw one lose, but thought it was random

I have an exhaust leak. I think there may be a crack in one of the manifolds. I am going to soap test it first with a vacuum up the exhaust and if I can’t find it then I am going to assume it’s the gaskets. Your video is awesome. I was scared of this job before but now it looks doable. Thank you.

Incredible detail. You’re talented. Actually, from this, I’ve decided to hire this job out. There are so many hurdles, between rusty bolts, soot in your eyes, the weight of the components, inaccessibility, and me being alone and weaker/older- I’ve never seen a repair that better justifies or warrants having lift access and a buddy to help. I love your lighting and including every single step, even the mistakes that you felt that you made. This must be the problem I’m experiencing with my 2006 325xi wagon 6mt. No one has found the problem. I’ve replaced everything else! $$$. God bless. Jon

Thanks for this, i doubt valvoline or even a common mechanic would have caught the filter difference, i’m bringing my own materials next time.

I will be doing a oil change for the first time on this car soon. Is there anything I should pay close attention to or need to be extra aware of

What’s the torque specs for the Giubo

What size are the torque bolts

great video but you need to learn the lesson I have...put the ugga dugga in the tool chest and leave it there for jobs like this!

Yes great video and I like to know what were the symptoms of these parts that you're replacing the dealer told me that I need a rear gubino on rear driveshaft..

If you live in texas skip the first 5 mins L0L haha! Jk jk

Tk...amigo good instructions video 👏 👍🇺🇸

Is it not possible to hammer out those studs by yourself?

my bmw e90 is awd so moe st

How did you get the driveshaft to spin like that? I got a 428i 2015 rear wheeel drive and habe the wheels in the, wheels will spin but not the driveshaft, any idea how to get it to spin?

So you didn't explain why you were doing this you said that you took them out and you were putting it back on but you didn't say why it's a good You're going to be the first person to install and remove that's great compared to most people that would do it I used to follow two people only on TH-cam it comes to a certain vehicles

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video. I was able to complete the repair on my 2011 N55.

Do you have a video on replacement of the center support on a 2016 750i X drive..??

Hey buddy. Since your channel is named Evergreen, any chance you’re in WA state? I have an E90 and I don’t have much expertise with the N52 nor the tools and a good garage to work on it at the moment. Just throwing this out there just incase you’re nearby Olympia.

Thanks for the doc and vide9, very help when I will do mine,

That's my problem...I replaced all of my manifold gaskets and I torqued the nuts down too tight and crushed the gaskets, so now I have an exhaust leak.

That tip on selecting the right filter was helpful. The only extra step I'd add is to lube the new o ring with a little oil.

Be careful with those jacks. Newer ones have an additional safety measure.

Do you have to drop the subframe to get to these bolts?

Were these guibo flex disc both front and rear the same size?

My 2017 Encore came from the factory spin-on oil filter. Not at all like yours.

Hey man. I have some issues on my E60 520D. It vibrates when accelerating. Gets worse accelerating uphill. My mechanic told me it could be the flex disc / shaft bearing. But he said my car has only 1 flex disc. What were your symptoms?

Have the links? By chance
