Hahahahaha! Well I would never do that to family but it is what it is ey! That post is hilarious though 😂. Glad you think I'm so close to a dealership technician 👍
Good video. this engine (N47) is also the same on some later (post 2016) toyota diesels such as the RAV4. Hope you remembered to tighten the oil filter housing when you let the car down though (easily forgotten)! I also use a vacuum fluid extractor down the dipstick tunnel rather than removing sump plug for most oil changes as this engine's sump is fairly level and I get 5.2 ltres out every time (I know some view these as inferior to removing sump plug but it is alot less messy.)
Mr GCC the only bit I fucked up was not having a big enough oil catcher, so ended up pissing some oil on the floor... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ still not to worry and thanks again 👍🏻
Hi mate - hopefully you answer in time haha but is it possible for me to remove that oil filter with a strap wrench, you think? Can't get a 27mm socket. Thanks mate, brilliant video
sorry about the late reply mate. I think it could be possible so long as you are able to get enough grip for the torque needed to undo the filter lid. But I dont think it will be easy.
I want to buy one of these cars here in Ireland however this specific model with n47 engine are notorious for timing chain issues because BMW say the oil only needs to be changed every 18k miles which is absolute bullshit. It should be done every 6k miles in my opinion and many others on the BMW forums
Around 2012 the F10 520D started coming out with the N47T engine (no longer with a N47). These are much better in respect to the timing chain. There is another school of thought that says the timing chain issues on the original N47 are much more of a problem with lack of servicing, and less of a problem with more frequent oil changes as you say.
Bro, i got BMW f10 same Engine, can you post more video’s like this one ? Change oil for all the car, for example shifter, i need to know how i can change the oil for Box shifter, you got i think 8 plus 1 shifter ‘s yes ?
@@mrgcc yaa 😂 but this 2.0 is still is amazing to drive , my friend has a 2.0 f10 , great video man i am also due for oil change and all 4 brake pads 😅😂 pads just vanish on these bmw's 😅😅
@@ThatBeamerGuy yeah with a BMW its always about the way they drive! but nice man, a lot of good service stuff for the car means it can take more abuse from you later lol.
bro the f10 520D 2011 or 2012 are reliable ? i was thinking to buy the used one...please suggest is it worth to buy and how much miles the f10 520d lasts plzz reply ....
Hi Paul, there is a lot of choice really out there, you could go directly to BMW and get the oil from them but I believe they also use just Castrol. Should be 5w30, I used Castrol here just make sure it has the markings stating that it is for BMW, I believe it is the C3. But Mobil 1 is also good to use too.
The first plastic engine cover with the BMW sign, I managed to get that lid open but when I put it back... DOES it have to be clicked fit on all 3 dimpled sockets ? I just basically put the lid on the top and tried to fit it as it was originally but I don't think it properly got adjusted. What I am saying is, I think it is still loosely fitted as such I think I am hearing the diesel engine sound more loudly as well as the vibration felt ever more ( perhaps I am feeling placebo effect here but still). All I could do was to punch the cover with my side fist but please tell me, how do I adjust the cover properly as in original state?
Only just seen this comment now. I don't think you "have" to hear it click. Just an extra measure to make sure it's all secure and in safe. Hope you managed to get it all worked out
quick question. i managed to replace the oil filter, however, the new oil filter (MANN-FILTER Oil Filter) came with a small brown washer with no instructions on where to install it. the old one never came with one and i can see the bosch make doesnt come with it. i didnt install the washer. it this ok? just wanna make sure. thanks in advance
Personally I would always look to install anything given to me in the product like washers etc. But this filter I don't think comes with a washer.. It might be worth checking you had the right filter
From what I remember it was Castrol 5w30. If you use the link for Euro Car Parts or Car Parts 4 Less it should come up with a selection, just make sure its fully synthetic and the long life ideally.
Hey, I gotta 2012 528i F10 I believe there is some sort of an issue with it, as soon as I start up the car the it will idel for 5sec and then vigorously act as if it chocking for air and the rpm starts to act too. I believe to my knowledge which I have come across reading around on the net I come to believe it could be ICV the issue is I don't really know where is actually located. Could u help me out please
Hey Mr. GCC. My local garage did my oil/filter on my diesel ( 520D f10, same as your father-in-law). I checked the oil level yesterday and according to the computer it's been overfilled. I checked the level with the dipstick this morning and it was about 8mm above the max line on the dipstick. Do you think I'm ok to drive the car with the oil overfilled this much ?
I would highly recommend not driving the car like that! Talk to the garage if they can come to you and fix it. Or you can even get a tool which sucks out the engine oil. I'll see if I can find the link
@@mrgcc Thanks for your help. I will contact the garage tomorrow. I did a search for those oil extraction kits. How do you get the bendy tube to go down the dipstick tube into the engine ?
can anybody provide me information: my mechanic changing the oil on a specialist garage... first they didnt know the correct places to elevate the car.... i was worried at this point.... then they were looking around trying to figure it out how to change the oil, then the most important part, they flushed the oil and started up the engine , without puting the new oild, i told them if they were crazy and i would come back if i had anyproblem with the engine, they told me is fine, is this the procedure..... then they finaly put the new oil.... i honestly think they started the engine without oild just to degrade the engine so i go back there later........ since that i had no trouble with the engine but never saw anyone changing the oil that way................ can anyone tell me if this is correct????
Manual says 5.2l but better put less than to much as not the whole oil drain from engine block. Easier put extra than drain when you've put to much :-) I did just over 4.5 and it was close to maximum level.
Haha nah I get you man. Hence why I laughed so much. Honestly I'm sure you can do it if you wanted to. Maybe you just cant be bothered anymore? Dont worry I feel like that some times too lol
On the engine block yes, but where exactly. The sides of the engine bay are crowded, so it has been difficult to locate the engine code. I've been told that its just to the left of the oil filter that you changed in your video, but i dunno, to my untrained eye i have been unable to see it.
I think the most easiest way for you to find out what your engine code is to just simply google it, have a look online if others know the answer before having to find it yourself. What car do you have? I can look into it and see what I can find out. If it is a 520d what year?
@@mrgcc one easier way is take ur chassis number go to realoem.com type in last 7 digits of the whole chassis(VIN) number and it will show u in the list...(You can also give complete details and find out too.

Does resetting the oil service indicator on the dash add a oil change to the service history within the idrive system?
In essence yes. It's basically telling the car the oil has been change and updates itself.
Ross Erman Canpolat no. You can reset the oil change reminder but only an authorised dealer can update your service history.
