If I may add a small suggestion here. I would always loosen the oil filter to the point you can turn it by hand before removing the sump plug. This will allow the filter housing to start to drain into the sump so that you get the most of the old oil out of your engine. This is not in any way a criticism of the video. I have used these videos to help me look after my E89 since I bought it last year. Thank you. Tony.
I did the coolant flush about a year ago and didn't film it thinking no one would watch it, darn! What I did remove the protective cover on the bottom, take off the clamp of the hose next to the radiator and then slowly unscrewed the cap on the coolant tank. It's a bit messy, but this way it doens't all rush out right away. Thanks for watching!
Certainly on my Z4 E89 23i, there is a blue drain screw on the left side of radiator. . Drain radiator removing blue plug on radiator left side bottom. Get in car and turn on ignition but do not start car. Put heat on max and fan on minimum. Put your foot down on gas pedal for 10 seconds. Water pump will cycle on for 20-30 seconds then off draining block. Replace drain plug and fill with distilled water. Repeat pump purge cycle except this time add water as pump cycles. Repeat process until water is clear, no antifreeze remaining. Fill with 5 litres BMW antifreeze and then keep refilling during pump cycle with distilled water. You need to keep going back to start pump. Watch and hear for bubbles to clear in the expansion tank. Eventually the fluid runs smooth. Fill to mark and test run.
@@flybobbie1449 Does not exist on this car for some reason, I even checked the TIS for it and it says to remove the clamp next to the radiator. Strange..
@@mccommj as far as I understand, the HU 816 X comes with the metal crush washer for metal oil pans and the Z comes with a plastic bolt for the plastic oil pans. Thanks for watching!
I would wear nitrile gloves - old oil is cancergenic and gives skin conditions. Did your car have an access port for the sump plug? It should be one that just flips down one side.. Definitely worth cleaning the sump case to monitor any future oil leak issues... Thanks for the video
Thanks for the suggestions! I washed my hands right after that. As far as an access port, there is an access port there but I was swapping the sensor there as well so I took the cover off. So, you don’t have to take it off just for an oil change. I cleaned up the area after I was done and before I put everything together. Thanks for watching!
Very good video. I now have the tools and confidence to change my own oil. Just a couple of questions. Wouldn't you get more of the old oil out if you took the car off of the jack stands as the last step in draining the oil? Also, Have you tried using a topsider to remove oil? Thanks and yes, I subscribed.
Glad to hear that you can do it yourself now! You potentially could get a little bit more of oil out if you took it off the jack stands, but I believe that the amount would be negligible. You are never really changing all of it anyway. If there is sludge or contaminates that you need to get out, I would take the car off the jack stands and do a flush with some cheap oil. I've not tried the topsider for oil removal, but I might look into that one day! Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the videos.

Amazon lists the Mann oil filter that I need for my Z4 28i N20 is part #HU816Z. I noticed the part # in your video is HU816X. It seems the X version has a crush washer and the Z version has the plastic plug. Maybe this is a change that has been made since your video was made.
Yes, you are absolutely right. I replied to your other comment. The filter is the same, but if you have an X drive N20 car (like 328xi or X1 etc.), your oil pan will be metal and you'd need the washer. I think I was just sent the wrong part, but it worked fine for me. Thanks for watching!

Did they stop making the GDI Turbo version of Castrol EDGE 5w 30? I can't find it at Wal Mart or Amazon.

@@SimpleCarGuy I ordered the oil filter from amazon HU 816 z. In your video, it's HU 816x. Is there a difference? Will either one work?

Nice video
Thanks buddy, your my go too guy when I need info on my Zed 👍
Glad to help and thanks for watching!
Thank for sharing your knowledge man
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Tks so much
Thank you sir. I'm happy you took the time. Really!!
Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid. But need to ask, for the e89 how frequent should we change the diff oil? Tried finding info, but none consistent. Thanks again!
4 years or 60k mile should be ok
please man...... if you want...record the right sound who make the engine...!! is so helpful for us

You don't have a dipstick so no option than to remove the sump plug@@SimpleCarGuy
Very helpful.
Where can I get that piece to unscrew the top of the oil filter?
Thank you.

No need for the Edge EURO version of this oil then? It's $10+ more.
I replaced the drain plug with a spring loaded ball bearing i just push the ball bearing up and the oil drains out
Stupid question, where do you get the torque specs from?
Written on oil filter housing 25nm
I've never seen a plastic sump plug before!
Pretty crazy, but it’s on all non xDrive N20 engine cars!
anyone know how many quarts of oil i need for my 2011 Z4 30i , thanks .
As far as I remember, the N52 engine needs 6.5-7 quarts of oil.
hello can you tell me what oil is in bmw z4 sdrive28! 2014
I use Castrol EDGE 5W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil: amzn.to/37SgSB0
5w30 bmw spec : LL-04
is this a 2.5 L e89
I don't believe they had a 2.5 L engine in these cars, at least not in US. This is an N20 2.0 turbo engine.
@@SimpleCarGuyi have 2.5 engine e89 (europe)
