BMW E46 Oil Change DIY (325I 330I 328I 320I 320D 318D 316D 330D 318I 330CI)

[@user-bl1lr8ri8u]

My BMW E46 is a 2001 330ci the oil drain plug is a 17mm not 13 mm as described on the video. So save yourself a trip back and forth to the tool box and perhaps take both . The car has only been serviced at BMW dealers or by myself doing just a few oil changes . So I don’t think it was ever changed out .?

Too late😢

Great video, exactly what I needed. One tip,when using a torque wrench, just go until you hear one click, then stop. If you do more clicks you are overtightening.

+@borrowmant thanks 🍻

whats the screw for the drain cover undertray part? Mine fell off while driving so I have no idea what screw was there

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@eakmadashma not sure. I’d just call a dealer parts department and have them find it for you

For cars that you don't drive as many miles, is there a set amount of time you change the oil at regardless of mileage?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@Cuse330Ci most people recommend one year. I recommend driving then more 😂

17mm nut on the drain plug?

[@HelpMeDIY]

Usually but mine was a 13mm, unless I just said it incorrectly on accident 🤷‍♂️
