What i found out, there is regional differences in oil type. In Finland it is BMW longlife-19 FE, you can find this spec from Castrol edge 0w-30. I have 2021 330e X-drive with B48A engine. Thanks for good video
@@aor3200 interesting for sure !! It's amazing to see how different the oil choices can be based on the region you live, temperatures, age of the vehicle etc. thanks for the input !!
After seeing this video it seems easier since the oil filter is on top, but now knowing all this after your video why does BMW charge sooo much for oil change 🤔
Thanks for the video. I did exactly this and now the oil filter housing is leaking very slowly. I think that I did everything correctly including the 18-foot lbs of torque on the filer housing. I am fairly mechanically inclined so I can not understand why this is happening. This is my first BMW, FYI. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Sometimes you may think that the plastic filter cover is all the way down and it’s not. Secondly, is the O ring in the correct spot on the plastic housing cover ? If you still have issues….you may want to bring it to BMW to ensure nothing more serious is wrong.
Do you know if I take the oil filter housing off without draining the oil is that canister filled with oil? I am thinking of getting another one with O ring and trying it again but do not want to create a big mess. @@talkingwithcars
@@recker1 in my opinion you should be able to take the oil cap off without a mess. I don’t believe it’s pressurized and most of oil will drain to pan. Then you can replace the O ring or place entire cap with new O ring
I am embarrassed to say that I added too much oil. I added 6.0 liters when I should have added only 5.3 liters. Initially, I thought that it was coming from the oil filter housing, but now I am not sure. It is hard to tell. Do you think that adding the additional .7 liters would cause a leak? I am not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Thank you. @@talkingwithcars
@@talkingwithcars ok thank you I heard it was linked to the car keys the service history etc and needed a dealer to put into the I drive it's been service. Thank you for clarifying
On my vehicle, the recommended interval appears to be 11000 miles or 17700 km. So in my eyes…..you are in a good spot. But always refer back to your owners manual or speak to the manufacturer’s service department. Just to ask questions. Best wishes.
@@BellaDenis-q8t I would agree , but remember , the miles on your 330e are not all ICE miles. Depending on your EV driving miles, the ICE could be only 40-60% of the total miles completed. So in actuality, 18000km is really only 9,000km.
@@BellaDenis-q8t the 330i is only the ICE (internal combustion engine) and the 330e has the addition of an electric motor. for the 330e, the car can run just on the electric motor alone, providing you with much better gas mileage. Same Horsepower and Torque.
I'm ready for another oil change soon so I watched my own video to remind myself of the process :)

Thanks a lot, i now feel more confident in doing a DIY LOF on my 2020 330I
@@DANGUIRUBIN awesome !! you can do this! not much different than any other car! let me know if you need any help. keep me posted !
In eu is not recommended same viscosity like usa . 5w-30
intresting...what is the viscosity setup for EU?

Because there are so many people afraid of doing it and they don’t even try ;)
Why does BMW charge so much?? Look at the comment below this one and there is your answer. 😂

Oil filter housing is leaking ? What year?
Is it the plastic cover that’s leaking or the actual aluminum housing ??

How do you check the oil level please?
Go to 8:55 time location of video. I walk through it
Does it show on the i drive system it has been serviced after resetting the light
It resets the counter. So yes
@@talkingwithcars ok thank you I heard it was linked to the car keys the service history etc and needed a dealer to put into the I drive it's been service. Thank you for clarifying
Is it ok to change the oil at 15000 km or it should be less?

@@talkingwithcars I just find it a bit crazy how the manufacturer wants it changed at 30 thousand km, I think it is a bit extreme.
