Changing front differential fluid on a BMW E70 X5 D
Fill capacity is 600 mL. Do not fill until fluid is running out of the fill hole.
There is a service cover in the metal skid plate for this job but I prefer to take the plate off.

X5 M57 Diesel - Tip for Pulling Injector #6
มุมมอง 1.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Pulling injector #6 on an X5 is somewhat difficult and many people make a custom bracket to do this. Here I show how you can do it by ordering a couple extra parts eliminating the need for welding/fabricating a custom bracket.

E70 X5 Diesel M57 6AT Transmission Service drain and fill pan replacement
มุมมอง 10K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Replaced my transmission pan/filter and added new fluid. I could only get 5.5 quarts back in when most say you should be able to put 6.5 quarts in. That being said, I only drained 4.5 quarts of fluid out. Sorry for the rambling and repeating. I'm not good at talking to myself.
E70 X5 M57 (diesel) Transmission thermostat replacement
มุมมอง 6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Decided to replace the thermostat for the transmission heat exchanger while I was doing the engine coolant thermostat. It was recommended to do both at the same time, yet I couldn't find any info on how to do it or what to expect.
Thanks. I just changed mine and I thought it was about a half quart in there, but I see people recommending a full quart I put in slightly over a half a quart
ISTA software is updated regularly and it shows front diff fill is about 650mL confirmed by BMWBAS in an older comment.
@@sullygtx9350I still put 1L even after checking ISTA
Wow Bro Super Helpful. Thank You for the Information.
75w90 gl5 or 75w90 gl4?
@@Petardosky pretty sure GL5. The only things I've ever come across requiring gl4 were old synchronized transmissions. GL5 was too slick for those gearboxes but good for differentials needing that shear strength.

BMW says to change the fill and drain plug, has yours been ok without changing?
Nope, never changed them. There's no reason to unless they are leaking or damaged.
@@sullygtx9350 thanks for the tip, BMW has so many “one time use bolts” it seems like the necessity to change is 50/50. But makes sense for this since it’s not high torque or a stretch bolt. I actually looked up on ISTA, and you are correct it say 600-650ML for front diff and still 910ML for rear.

Hey bro how you cut that bit in half ? I just bought one
Dremel with a cut off wheel
Not complaining but “Stating the sizes, for drain plug, fill plug, T-40 Helps the people who watch, we watch for info specific to get tools ready. But stating there’s a difference between Diesel & gas was a great detail, I have diesels only. Thanks again
Remember to change the bolts for the stiffening plate
Why?
Mine ( BMW x5 e70 6cyl) has the power steering lines right in front of the fill plug
Same with the 8 cylinder

why is it necessary to have diagnostic tools for prime? just switch the ignition on and it will take care of itself, and the pump turns off when the required pressure is reached.
No.
Ive got a 520d f10 will the priming work on mine with this app?
Anessessery to complicated for nothing just fiul filter
Is gas engine the same ?
Fluid use seems right for simple pan and fluid swap. 6.5 liters is only if you drop the valve body. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot man. This really helped a lot!
How do you depressurize the fuel lines before removing the filter? Thanks
The system shouldn't be under pressure if it's been sitting for a few minutes. Line pressure is a different system than the rail pressure.
@@sullygtx9350 thank you. First time owning a diesel bmw- I’ve always pulled the fuel pump fuse and idled the engine until it stalls for fuel filters
@@alexudolkin2146 Gas engines that's the easy way, but if you try that with most diesels you'll air lock the rail and injectors. It might start after a few minutes of cranking but the starter and battery will be tired....if it starts.
So is there no need to open anything downstream to bleed out the air?
Paldies par informaciju….
You're welcome!
Btw bro this has been massively helpful for me and my X3 same engine same gearbox. Thank you Hopefully this fixes my mystery random stalling issue as I've tested the injectors and changed the rail sensor I'm mid way through doing the job just waiting on a swivel ratchet to fit my torx socket
Hell yeah dude. Let me know how it goes.
Do you recommend any other retailers?
I hear good things about 4x4shop.ca. Xtrons is also popular
Appreciate the video! I started this job today and spent most of my time modifying bits with my angle grinder. I see you jacked up the transfer case, thats a great idea, I'll try that now. I see you have that SCR delete pipe sutting on the floor there. Please upload when you get to that. I'm in Houston and I'm very much interested in the EGR race pipe and SCR delete. Where are you planning on getting your tune?
I got that installed along with the EGR race pipe from TME. Currently on a BRR tune but he's no longer in business.
Good job sir. Very simple
Need to check my filter as we speak my question is did you take of the ENTIRE plastic panel under the car? Or is there a specific spot under it where I can access the fuel filter without taking off all 25 screws on the panel cause I’ve seen most vids where people take off the whole thing
It's a smaller cover. I think it's only 4 or 5 screws.
@@sullygtx9350 okay thanks for the quick reply lol I’m gonna head back out and re attempt this
Are this transimssion relieble after 300 000k ?
Thanks a lot. Going to get this done to my X5 too. Is the procedure the same for the rear diff/transfer case? Do you use redline for that as well? Thanks!
The transfer case is the same; there's a fill and drain plug. The rear differential only has a fill plug so you'll have to get a fluid extractor or hand pump with a curved hose to stick down in there to pump the old fluid out. I used redline MT-LV for the transfer case but you'll fill it until it runs out of the fill hole. I haven't changed the rear diff yet because the fluid looks perfect but it'll also get redline eventually.
@@sullygtx9350 awesome I'll give it a shot
Nice short video ...doing the same thing to my F15. Great images of the work area. Don't use brake cleaner ever on rubber though ...even plastic...you re going to weaken it. Google this so next time you avoid it.
Thanks for the tips! I've always used brake cleaner for everything over the years, even for cleaning my hands when I'm lazy lol. I'll keep that in mind next time.
Did ProTool stop priming automatically? I’m using it to bleed, like you, but it’s been priming for almost 10 minutes. Not sure if you need to manually cancel it after some time. Thanks!
I just went and primed my pump to check it out for you. It only primed for 2 minutes but the screen continued to say that priming was active. If you think it actually is still priming, you can crawl under the tank and listen to see if the pump is still on.
Thanks for the tips.. I purchased this 2012 X5 w 140 k in mid August from West Palm Beach Fla. I stopped on way back to Ohio in Atlanta. A family member wrenches for a BMW dealer.. We spent a ton if time going completely over the car. He said it was the best he has seen for age n miles. About 2 weeks after getting it home. I was replacing the rain gutters. While I was in to it.. I changed the cabin filter and washed the engine bay with a mild degreaser and a hose... Very carefuly and Nothing like what I do to my 7.3 Ford crew cab dually and a 4200 psi power washer. I was putting the last screw in the trays in when it started. I dropped the last screw. Then the magnet got stuck. So i had to javk car up to remove a few screws on an under belly plate and the now broken flashlight magnet and the screw fell out. I button everything up Let the car down and It cranked for only 2 seconds and it was a NO Start. It had started all along the process. After a ton of test I purched a $158.00 Sensor. By The Way I used the 2 to 3 ft of extensions and broke the drivers side loose from underneath. ( I probably have 3 to 4 ft of extensions in all 3 sizes. When I loosed the bolt on the drivers side. The sound that bolt made when I applied a ton of force scared me so bad that I snapped it off. Everything just shot to ground. So much... I didn't touch that bolt until I got the other bolt loose. The other bolt was what I call diesel loose. It was too loose. The starter was never out of it... After I changed underwear ... I checked The drivers side bolt had broke loose. Thank God - truely. By the way a swivel ratchet 1/4 Drive with a 10mm socket works great on those two bolts. Especially the second time. Yes the second time.. I did loosen the mid ship bolt with a long 10 mm wrench for leverage. I final tighten both bolts with that wrench. I purchased an Authentic BMW part in a bag from ECS. Installed it after about week of waiting. They are 2 hours away. Installed the brand new in the wrapper and NO CHANGE. ! After hours of trying and testing. I did every test... Started replacing relays..Finally I ordered a new sensor. I should have bought a second sensor right away. My $125 scanner was still reading the same codes P0335 & P0336. Installed sensor #2 ... Immediately the engine cranked until I stopped it from turning over. After 5 trys ( it was actually trying to start each try.) The X5 lives. Like b4 it runs great. Thanks for the video.. And yes remove cross support bar... I had over 20 pieces off the car getting it to run. And yes if the crankshaft sensor went out at that particular time in my driveway. I am truly grateful. It could have been much worse. I cannot imagine how... a tow. a.... Thanks Again.
@@jamesemmeneckersr.1875 I flew to Tampa to get mine and drove it back to Texas. Getting one in good condition is worth the drive. Got mine with 100k miles. As of today it has 160k and runs perfectly...of course after revising some of the exhaust system to make it more.... efficient.
I will probably attempt this one soon lol. I read that you’d lose a bit of torque on low end… no? And mpg gets worse a little bit… any observations? I’m surprised they have swirl flaps on each cylinder. I’ve had many e39s and I think those had a single swirl flap for all the 6 cyl… I could be wrong tho. The individual flaps is like the individual butterflies on M engines… very cool and provides higher torque on low end.
It's a good thing to do, especially if you're higher mileage. Each swirl flap seal was leaking oil and it was starting to build up on the starter and hoses. If there is low end power loss, it's so minimal that you'd only notice if you did back to back dyno pulls to show it. It's also a good idea to replace the valve cover gasket if you're over 100k miles. When they get old, boost will get past the seals and pressurize the crankcase causing oil to spit out of the turbo oil drain pipes or even push past the oil seals in the turbo cartridge. It happened to me recently but I'm also tuned and running 40 psi of boost.
@@sullygtx9350 wow interesting! I don’t smell any oil burning yet, usually that’s how I tell if I have VCG leaks. Let’s get together man!

@@sullygtx9350 hey my battery seems to be failing. I get increased battery discharge message now. I checked battery date and it’s 2012 (on the negative post). If I buy a new battery and install it, can you register/code it for me? Not sure if you have the right tool/app.
Hey man I enjoyed watching your video! You kind of remind me of myself lol. Did you notice any difference in shift after the oil change? I recently acquired X5 like yours and when it’s cold my trans shifts around 2k-2500 rpm but when warm it shift earlier. From what I read, seems like an oil change kit is needed along with adaptations reset. Did your kit contain the mechatronic sleeves or whatever they call them? It’s like 3 black small tubes. Let me know please. Also are you going to put a down pipe or something? Do you have smog/emissions test for car registration where you live? It’s mandatory here in Austin and I don’t know what I can do and cannot do to be able to pass the emission test. I watched your other video for the swirl flaps delete and I think that should be fine but all other people remove the dpf and some do EGR delete and some do both but I’m not sure if EGR delete will make me fail emissions… this diesel is so annoying, I’m like borderline regretting not going with a 35i instead.
The shifts did improve a little bit from just doing a new pan and oil. They got even better with a Sutphin trans tune which I recommend and that will get rid of the higher rpm cold shifts. When you do just fluid or the mechatronic seals, you shouldn't reset the adaptations. That's only necessary if you are replacing internals in the trans or the whole valve body. Just yesterday I got the tube seals and the bridge seal to drop the valve body and do the whole refresh job; I'm at 135k miles so it's definitely time to do the full job. I'm also in Austin, and luckily Texas doesn't do emissions testing for diesels, only a safety inspection. I've been running the ATM downpipe and SCR delete for a year now and it's been great.
Thank you Sully I just came to check you video . It’s great hope this solve my problem code is P3121 which could be crankshaft sensor more Oxígen sensor . First day only get code misfire cilinder six and code P3121. The I got multiple misfires ?? Hope changing this is a good start of my diagnostic
I'm glad you found it useful. Did you find the cause of your problem?
The filling up procedures for diffs , transfer case are that there should be tiny string pouring out before you put the plug back. You don’t have enough there or just the very minimum amount.
BMW release a service bulletin that changed the front differential capacity from almost a full liter, down to only 600ml. I called local BMW shops and they confirmed the 600ml fill capacity as well. Have you found any documentation that states otherwise? I"m curious to know if BMW went back on their statement. Thanks!
@@sullygtx9350 I’m curious about this also. Do you have a link for the service bulletin that you’re thinking of? I’m surprised that BMW would give any advice on “lifetime” fluids anyway.
I'm confused about this as well, I watched the FCP video and he fills it until its dripping out. The video is for a F15 (newer model 2014 plus) . I ended up changing it following the FCP video since the parts were purchased there and then came across your video. Did I put too much fluid? It was almost the whole bottle, will this cause an issue?
Putting in what came out seems reasonable, especially on the first change from the original factory fill.
@@sullygtx9350 I just finished doing this on my x5d. I have a "slippery pete" fluid pump that is 1oz per pump. Mine started dripping back out after pump #21, which is 21oz. 21oz is 621ml. At least in my case, it sounds like "fill to spill" is right around 600ml. :shrug:
Wise move not using those bolts. The original are aluminum and those are steel. My guess is you’d see some galvanic corrosion down the road. Good information, I also own a diesel X5 and have enjoyed your DIY’s
I just bought the new version of this from China. So hopefully no issues but I am scared at this point I kinda want to just return it and get the 10 inch. Hmmmmmmmmmn idk what do you think?
I would get the 10" if I did it again. The squeaking because of the flimsy plastic mount drives me crazy.

Hey man, couple months later hows your experience so far?
Screen creaks, I'm looking for some mini turnbuckles to put behind the screen to tension everything up. Spotify sometimes doesn't play but I don't think that's due to the screen. It's not very bright and gets a little washed out during the day but no glitches or malfunctions as of lately. I rarely use the split screen feature since Waze gets cut off when I do now. If I were to do it again, I'd go with the 10" screen instead of the 12".

Well theres your answer... every bump you hit was shocking the unit
It's very unlikely that bumps on the road being absorbed by my car's suspension caused the unit to fail. If that was the case, the better mounted 10" screens would have a much larger rate of failure than the screens with flexing mounts.
