Great video! Thank you. I've owned my car since brand new in 2009 and this was the first time I did this job myself. Easy! And the last guy who changed my oil put a regular washer that was too small on my oil plug! So I put the correct one on there now. I've paid up to $139 for this in other places. Cost me around $85 for oil and filter kit plus two trips to shop to buy/turn in used oil. Plus of course it's a messy job. So...it's a good job to do yourself, but also worth it to pay someone else if you'd rather avoid the mess.
Thanks for making an posting this informative video. Can't believe what previous 'mechanic' did with those rings and washers. Yet we never know if they guys working on our cars have done this, do we? Curious to know how many litres of dirty oil there actually were in that car, surprised it was still running.
Great informative Video. I plan on doing my first oil change. I recently bought a 2006 330i and want to do it for peace of mind. Is there anything else you would recommend me changing when first buying a used car. Note: the car has 134,000 miles and was bought off a private seller. Thanks
Did you measure the old oil to see how many Liters it was? Great video. Were gonna try it on my son's e90 this weekend. I've done many oil changes but never a BMW.
Thank You very much! So far I like the way you show how to change the oil and do the whole procedure. Others are not doing it right. I laugh how they change steps. Hahahahahaha!!!! You are great so far. I subscribe to your vids. Take care bro!!!!
I highly recommend everybody to use a torque wrench on the filter cap so you don't have oil shooting out at high pressure. Also use fresh oil on the oil filter housing rim so the cap gasket will slide freely and not bulge
Am wondering, why you not clean the oil filter Cap holder? You cleaned drain plug. And I assume you inspected it for any metal shaving? Just wonder because of thinking you spread old contaminant into new oil. Is it because filter inside of cap is on top of the engine and not on bottom?
So you use 5w40? I was always told to use 5w30 on these engines? What would be the difference? I know 5w40 is little bit thicker and give better lubrication which in my opinion wouls.be better, but I dont know why i have always been told by mechanic to use 5w30 on this engine 325i, which ones is best to use?
Your dumb this dude be making hundreds of videos doing a lot harder stuff than changing oil don’t talk if you don’t know what your talking about stupid
that’s stupid. even the most professional techs at one point learned how to correctly do things, or did you think people were just born with knowledge? stupid opinion never give yours again publicly. ps this is what these videos are for, and if you’re watching them criticizing other what’s that make you? fool.
Reminds me of my old e90 330i, previous owner changed oil and threw away the old oil filter INCLUDING the frame that is in it from the cap... so the new filter was in all loose not filtering anything :D
This oil is NOT cleared by BMW for this Car, Benzin Engines Need a Longlife-01 Oil and the Diesel a Longlife-04 Oil! You can find a „Oil-finder“ on the sides from the Oil-Companies, so you can make sure which oil is Most suitable for your Engine :)
Hi quick question have 07 328i coupe. Whem giving a turn or when its cold i give it gas and the rpm goes high but i let go of pedal and rpm drops then drives normal if anyone knows or has this problems any help will be appreciated thanks in advance
Can any body describe to me the best position to place that jack stand? The hydraulic jack is on the jack pad but where would the jack stand hit if the hydraulic jack fails?
Typically u need on some cars to hold the mileage reset button and then put the key in the hole and turn the car on, but dont start it. Wait 15 seconds to enter set up
@@twitchingwithrage4683 bmw approved only means they get a kick back when that oil is purchased after 26 years of owning e46s, currently I have 5, I can tell you that’s is the worst oil you can buy, when you service a bmw e46,,, 7 times a year like I do then you will notice the difference.... my current tourer on 279k miles ive serviced this 16 times
To all bmw owners, do not change the oil yourself just by watching a youtube video if you have no experience on bmw cars. You can seriously mess up your car.. these videos are for people with experience that actually work on cars.
You can also seriously mess up your car by taking it to a dealership/workshop that takes shortcuts and cons people that aren't knowledgeable about their own cars.
Stealership quoted me 1600 dollars for brake pads and rotors. Got all new pads and rear rotors for $75.....stealership said the front brake pads were in bad shape. Looked at the and 60% of the pad was still left. 2 years ago and still good
This guy is using the wrong oil. That 5w40 had BM LL-98 not LL-01/2 (NA/UK). Makes hydraulic lifter tick worse because this oil takes longer to heat up. Castrol 0w-40 100% ^. Lifter tick can be reduced my adding additive.
@@thumpertorque_ castrol or M1 0w-40 for winter/ cold climates. Bmw LL01 spec (will say on back of container) 5w30 will run perfect in regular/warm climates. Make sure you buy a legit MANN HU816x oil filter and replace the filter and drain plug o rings and gaskets it comes with. 6- 6.5 L of oil, your dash oil check will let you know where the level stands after 30 minutes of driving after the change.

Very informative, thanks for making these guys! Will do my own oil change next time!
It was funny as hell when he was ragging on that previous owner.
I laughed my ass off!
Whoever that previous owner was, he was a noob.
Haha
Some people shouldn’t own german cars period
That’s hilarious the drain plug ring in the oil filter area, not even I ever done that... 😂😂
Amazing how the previous maintenance person hacked up the oil change. 🤦🏾♂️
Seriously looks sooo easy and they charge $150+ for that!!!
The stealership charges $300 for an x6 lol
It's not hard but it can be pretty messy.

Instructions not clear, drank 2 bottles of liquid molly
I use a metal band type oil filter wrench so as not to damage the filter cap.
Changed my oil myself using this video. Thank you!
This video really helpful. Only had around $75 at the time and could not afford the dealership prices

Hi I need to replace my dmtl pump and fuel pump for my BMW 325i. I don’t see a vid for this.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thankyou for a great review. I used the 6.5 litres of oil method. Topped up exactly like you said. Thanks again for your tips👍
Thank You very much! So far I like the way you show how to change the oil and do the whole procedure. Others are not doing it right. I laugh how they change steps. Hahahahahaha!!!! You are great so far. I subscribe to your vids. Take care bro!!!!
Very informative and easy to do. I'll do the oil changes and save the extra money. Thanks.
Good job. The thing I don’t like it the plier type oil cap remover - creating scratches on the cap.
I highly recommend everybody to use a torque wrench on the filter cap so you don't have oil shooting out at high pressure. Also use fresh oil on the oil filter housing rim so the cap gasket will slide freely and not bulge
😂😂😂 man put drain plug washer for the oil filter
Nice video bro, is it safe to put the jackstand where you put it?
Great video and thank you I was able to change my own oil and save quite a bit of money.
Really great explanation and instructions. Thanks

Tulley Jim you cant get all the old oil out it’s not a big deal
Hope you'll show us how to do a gasoline change, because that car needs one.
Thank you. I will be doing an oild change today.

Just use 5w-30 my only issue is which brand do I go with? haha
I laughed so hard when you took off the drain plug gasket from the housing! Don’t change your own oil if you have zero idea of what you’re doing 😂
What are you talking about😂 you’re supposed to remove the plug completely that’s why he said do it cold so when the oil drains it don’t burn you lol
You realize how German this dude is, they rlly do their own shit on a daily, his dad probably designed this vehicle 😂😂😂
Your dumb this dude be making hundreds of videos doing a lot harder stuff than changing oil don’t talk if you don’t know what your talking about stupid
Think he means the previous owner putting the drain plug washer in the filter housing
that’s stupid. even the most professional techs at one point learned how to correctly do things, or did you think people were just born with knowledge? stupid opinion never give yours again publicly.

Thanks again guys.
Good video 👍🏼👍🏼, thank you.
Thank you for useful video
Thanks a lot for this video.
You guys are awesome.
hi how could it be over filled if I put in required 6.5 liters ? is there a warning anywhere?
5w-40 is for diesel engine 5w-30 synthetic for gas
thank you very very much! :*
I prefer 5w-30w oils for BMW engines
What does the number mean if its 30 or 40?
@@justinbp6198 viscosity & w means winter
@@justinbp6198 depends on the weather... If on the summer put 5w40 then winter you can switch to 5w30 simple...

great video , dude get your self PK710 oil funnel it makes job much easier on BMW Mercedes Audi VW
Good thing I use to do my Yamaha r6 oil now I think I should do my car.
Does the oil filter you provided a link to come with the seals?
This oil is NOT cleared by BMW for this Car, Benzin Engines Need a Longlife-01 Oil and the Diesel a Longlife-04 Oil!
You can find a „Oil-finder“ on the sides from the Oil-Companies, so you can make sure which oil is Most suitable for your Engine :)
Liqui Moly IS
long life - 01
My 06 325xi has some of the lights shown scrolling at the end of the video. They’re not in the manual, does anyone know what they mean?
Hi quick question have 07 328i coupe. Whem giving a turn or when its cold i give it gas and the rpm goes high but i let go of pedal and rpm drops then drives normal if anyone knows or has this problems any help will be appreciated thanks in advance
When its cold the rpm at start may be higher, unyil it warms up
Good video
thank you
I dont have a bmw but seems Pretty cool. Lol
Can any body describe to me the best position to place that jack stand? The hydraulic jack is on the jack pad but where would the jack stand hit if the hydraulic jack fails?
Be careful with jacks. At my local storage unit someone was working under his car and the jack failed and killed him.
How did you do it now bro im having the same problem
What type of oil should my 2007 328xi use
thank you :)
I'm new to BMW, my son bought a used one, how many quarts of oil, is moly available in the states
View good job
Wrong oil and Pro tip, Drain the plug before removing the filter. A bit less of a mess
How is it wrong oil?
How many litters take ?
Doesn’t it take 5W-30??
"wear gloves and use eye protection"
>does neither
6:55 lmao
car should be level for all the oil to drain.
Wrong. Should be tilted towards oil drain. It’s called gravity. Please don’t work on your own car…
That little washer inside the oil filter housing can just fuck up the engine real bad period
You ruined that cap with this pair of pliers
He scratched the fuck outta of it
GET THE CORRECT OIL CAP REMOVER TOOL. DO NOT USE PLIERS. ALSO A TORQUE WRENTCH IS A GOOD IDEA. tHESE TOOLS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE.
@@raybutts9133 YES RAY
@@raybutts9133 why you worried about scratches? People like you make me cringe.
Scratches effect the engine performance? Damn that shit is new to me…
I got fram full synthetic motor oil
When I change my oil, I am always worried to overtighten the filter cap, and cracking it! Anyone use a torgue wrench, and if so, at what torgue?
25.5 Nm / 18ftLbs
it says it right on the cap
Didn't see what button you were holding down to reset the oil
Typically u need on some cars to hold the mileage reset button and then put the key in the hole and turn the car on, but dont start it. Wait 15 seconds to enter set up
looks like somone has NOT done a correct oil change before you got it !
Ok yvan drago!!
why you didnt drain as much old oil as possible? should have let it drain for at leass 5 more mins.
It doesn’t take 15 minutes to drain oil….
My oil cap won’t screw all the way in. I bought new cap and it still doesn’t go all the way in. Does anyone know any solutions. Thank you
Make sure when you put the filter in it goes all the way in it has to click, they didn’t do that in this vid
The color difference of that Front bumper is super bad.
Why does it tic like a broken diesel?
I said the same thing. I think that engine is toast.
Hi, I'm from Algeria, I want information about the 525d BMW
Are you Israeli ? because of your accent.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
U showed wrong way to change oil
На нашем можно
Have mercy just buy a old chevy…..😬
use proper oil wrench!
Very shitty job my friend you need to use syringe to suck the oil out of the filter housing
Damn ! What is that accent ?? Russian ?
JC sounds like Dutch accent
@@NordicAdvRider
No, dutch don't have accents, they speak perfect english since young age, and they don't roll the "r" !
I'm Dutch and it reminds me of Afrikaans, so South African but I could be wrong :)
It isn’t good job you did
Worst oil you can use
Is that why it’s BMW approved? Stfu moron.

This guy uses the wrong oil. Bmw only takes Castrol. Any other oil can fuck up your car for good.
no, many other brands are approved on the BMW oil list. You just have to make sure that they have the correct specs. LL-01 SPEC IS IMPORTANT!
@@raybutts9133 and for diesel ll-04 for e90/91/92
To all bmw owners, do not change the oil yourself just by watching a youtube video if you have no experience on bmw cars. You can seriously mess up your car.. these videos are for people with experience that actually work on cars.
Mess it up how?
