Hi, I recognize that in 0:50. There is some wet spots on the right of the oil drain door. Do you have any idea what caused that? My 2018 540i RWD also has this issue. Wondering if you have any idea
Good observation. It could be oil spillage from the oil filter housing when removing the filter. It could also be from a coolant leaks but coolant will usually wet the whole under panel and turn whitish after it dries. Oil will be absorbed and leave that type of stain. I would just check to make sure there aren't any leaks on that side, if not then it's most likely just from removing the oil filter.
Hope you enjoy this video and it helps out. Let me know what your thoughts are and if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate the feedback.
Great video! Just doing some pre-purchase research. I like that drain access underneath. Can oil be extracted through a dip stick tube?
Thanks man. Unfortunately BMW doesn't believe in dipsticks and there is no way to extract oil that I'm aware of. I do know that some dealers are implementing a mobile service so maybe there will be an alternative way to draining/extracting the oil. If I do come across something I'll see if I can get back to you. But as of now there are no dip sticks in the latest BMWs
What city are you located
Hello,
Which oil did you use ?
These engines take 0W-20.
