BMW N54 Manual Transmission Fluid Drain & Fill
มุมมอง 51หลายเดือนก่อน
Changing the transmission fluid on my 6 speed N54 E60 2009 535i. Kind of cut it short because I have to get another bottle but there’s really not much else to it! Just fill her up until fluid comes out. The fill bolt gets torqued on the same as the drain bolt. Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

i have a 535xi im wondering if it'll be as open!
I definitely think so! The xi nonsense really only comes into play in the front subframe area. Transmission back should be pretty similar
@@wrenchingvids how is the syncromax fluid going for you? I'm gonna tackle it this weekend I have 75w toptec 5100 mtf from liquimolly and the Mos2 friction modifier!
Thank you for a really good informative video. I like the noco charger set up. Could you please tell me what model charger you have and the accessories that you bought to get it working through the lid, thank you
What size fuses do you have for the USB and cigarette
Most automobile applications run a max of 12 amps in those types of outlets. So I put a 15 amp fuse on them
Wow..! AWESOME setup..!
that very nice build love it 😇😇😇😇 well i build my own but i have 20Amp breaker switch for my 110 A/C out so my inverter not will wrong with it the breaker will just flip like breaker that in house
Nice!!!
@@wrenchingvids Thanks not finish yet or i will post video not have all like that guy what i need hard to get
@@wrenchingvids 🥰🥰🥰🥰thanks not finish building it yet need more things then i post video
Does this kit support pass through charging? Meaning would I be able to have the solar panel hooked up and charging the battery while my phone is plugged in to the USB and charging?
Absolutely! I explain it briefly in some other videos, but your monitor screen will show you the difference between what amperage you’re charging at and drawing at. Once I get this box wired up, I’ll make a video on that and show how it works!
Is this dude making the video while driving?? 💀💀
No, just checking the turn signals 😃
He is the dumbass is wearing mirrored glasses u can see the road, and cars 😂😂
Hey everyone! I know this has taken way too long, but I've created a DIY kit that allows you to build your own portable power station! I'll go through and post the link on all the comments so you can view my Amazon page. This Amazon listing is actually my own and not an affiliate link so any purchases made go directly to me! These kits are assembled by me, in my own home and shipped out to you. I'll eventually get them in the Amazon fulfillment system so they will have Prime shipping. Thanks!!! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZSMRFQT?ref=myi_title_dp

@@wrenchingvids Thank you kindly sir. Great build, working on mine now. Stuffing Battery charger/tender in there as well, to male 120v port. This way I can shove the extension cord in there and keep it at the ready.
Pretty fantastic build
I’m having all kinds of trouble out of the plastic clips that holds the legs up. Total pain.
All these videos are meaningless and help no one. I have this here, and this here blablabla.
Meaningless..... like this comment?
That fridge has a compressor? I thought most of those smaller, portable ones use thermoelectric cooling through peltier effect. Added after the fact: Oops, I guess I have some reading to do. I just found a car refrigerator with similar form factor that uses r134. Alrighty then. The one I found claims to be thermoelectric so that's even more confusing.
Great build! Thanks for sharing.
Please make a video how you build your power station. I want to build one my self. 😊😊😊 Thanks and more power!
it very easy once you know what you doing how run wire etc 🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇he do very good job
Great video awesome job, anyway to get parts list?
I don't have a parts list but if you need any help i can explain stuff and link you to various parts. nmproia@gmail.com
In the process of planning out a power box... I see a lot of these with fans to ventilate, seemingly just to keep the charger inside the box while charging without getting too hot. Is that the only reason for ventilation? If so, I think I'm going to opt toward simply storing the charger in the box, and when time comes to charge the battery, I'll simply pull out the charger and leave it out when charging since it'll be plugged into a wall anyway at that point and doesn't need to be portable for that duration. I'd rather have a little more protection from the elements with no fans and holes as this will be on the boat.
Yep just for the charger! Not needed if you won’t use the charger inside the box.
@@wrenchingvids Made sense to me. Thanks for the quick response!
See my comment above! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZSMRFQT?ref=myi_title_dp
Fabulous!!!! I’m curious how much the whole unit weighs as well as how much say the battery weighs on its own? I take long multi-state, thousand mile motorcycle trips with my wife, her dog while pulling a small cargo trailer so I’m constantly looking for ways to save on weight. While also being able to have and use certain things that run on electricity is ideal. I purchased a Jackery unit but it did not seem to last very long for what we needed it for. Also how much do you believe you put into this system in terms of money? Thanks!
We have used the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Great job! I built one with a 30A batt and it runs my 47w ICECO fridge for 7 hrs before the fridge shuts down for low v. Something to think about… how does the box vent that hot air when recharging on AC? The fan is just a current draw. I would move the AC charger out of the box and let solar do the charging and dump the fan. Deletes two items. Just a thought but great job!
Thanks. I’ve been using it for over a year and hot air or the fan is not a problem. Yes the charger gets a tad warm when in use but nothing to be concerned about. And the fan, I could have left it out. It’s switched, so not always running but when it is on it’s only like 0.1a draw. I installed a 20amp dcdc charger in the truck that does 90% of the charging now. Runs my fridge and everything else for 2-3 days with no help
@@wrenchingvids nice. That’s one of the best box builds on the tube. Yea, we all add extra stuff we don’t need and more.

Great post, going used leaf acid battery and that is it for now, many dollars for upgrade.
What’s the cost?
About $450
See my comment above! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZSMRFQT?ref=myi_title_dp
Nice build. The biggest thing I would have done differently is to have a main breaker instead of a fuse. If you're in the middle of nowhere and blow a main fuse, do you have a spare?
No but I have supplies/equipment in my tool kit to make a temporary repair if needed.
Any low voltage shut off as to not drain the battery all the way? it will kill a non deep cell battery pretty quick.
This is a deep cell battery. It also has its own BMS that cuts itself off if capacity gets too low.
@@wrenchingvids nice! Do you have a link? I’m looking to build one to put on my Dewalt tough system set up in my work trailer, for charging my tool batteries without using the generator in neighborhoods, but will be charging it off my trucks trailer accessory power wire.
@@wrenchingvids I’ve killed several batteries running the trailer lights off them and forgetting to shut them off is why I mentioned it, I had to add a low voltage shut off to them.
@@davidreynolds731yep! This is the battery www.renogy.com/lithium-iron-phosphate-battery-12-volt-50-ah/ And this is the DCDC charger I use www.renogy.com/12v-20a-dc-to-dc-on-board-battery-charger/
Pretty cool
Dude why don't you have a bullbar?. Also how did you get a 200 series in the US?
do you have a circuit breaker for the main fuse box? i put one on mine because it's a massive 120AH battery and i thought it would be better safe than sorry.
😵 Love the details of your video. But not liking the handheld phone video, bouncing around hard to follow and not get dizzy...🤪
Thanks
Put a thermal temperature switch in for the fan comes on when it wants to
Soooooo, where's the part list brother...just make a diy of this video..
I’m about to start making another one with double the capacity and will make videos documenting the process with parts as I go along
See my comment above! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZSMRFQT?ref=myi_title_dp
Excellent presentation and well described! Just a minor point....Can I respectfully suggest you move the camera more slowly...I got dizzy the way it chopped and changed! Keep up the good work!
Heard. Thank you!
Yes i have two 100 solar panels
Awesome ⚡️ 👁 ❤ IT!
What’s the benefit of this over ready made?
Repairability and expandability. If something breaks, like say a port or the screen, you can easily very cheaply replace that part. If you want to add more usb ports or another 12v socket, you can get them on amazon for $10 and install it in 5 minutes. If your battery wears out(which would take years), you can throw a new one in in a matter of minutes.
100% customizable to your specific needs!
2 months later, still waiting on the list parts!!!!!!!
Yeah, sorry. One of these days I’ll get time to sit down and collect all the links!

Hi, why do you move your fridge off your battery when you are charging the battery using your noco plug in charger? tia
So the fridge draws about 4.5 amps and the battery charges at 5 amps. If you have the fridge plugged in to the battery while its charging, it’ll never charge up. It’ll just stay at whatever % it’s at. Think like if you had a bucket with a spigot on it and kept that spigot open as you fill the bucket up with the hose.
@@wrenchingvids gr8 thx. My charger said to not charge the battery under a load. Lead acid and smart charger. If I had to I could attach the positive to 1 battery and the negative to the shunt and turn the shutoff switch to the bus. But I wud rather connect the charger to the buses. I guess it works off of voltage. I wonder how it works with solar also feeding the bus bar?
Thanks for posting the build. For truck camper, van the use of a DIY portable power station allows for greater 12 volt DC, 120 watt output than the typical Bluetti/Goal Zero/Jackery of the same watt/hour battery size. In my opinion, a 120 watt DC output doesn't cut it for some of the larger and better off road 12 volt DC portable air compressors. With an Anderson connection output port - the output can easily be 240 watts, which is more than enough for current surge at air compressor start up.
