Leave it to the Germans to overengineer and overcomplicate simple maintenance like a fricking DIPSTICK.

[@john-vy1ml]

First time I heard that motor start up I could have sworn it was a diesel.

[@GeorgeVazquez]

I've watched a lot of videos recently because i decided to start changing my F30 328i oil myself. NONE of them mentioned that the oil plug was a one time use thing. Thanks for pointing that out! Very helpful. It wouldn't surprise me if the car wash place I'd been taking it to the last couple of years to get my oil changed did not change it or probably even my oil filter since it's not a typical oil filter.

[@kieranlangley3092]

So it doesn't matter if you oil the oil filter or not?? I have a B47D20A engine and have done the last 3 oil changes... But never Primed / coated the oil filter. Now I've got really paranoid as Ive just heard about this and looked deeper into it and the interwebs says all sorts about whether it's needed or not. So I'll just nod away and pretend like everything's all good. But for future changes.... Is It important or not?

[@tito_perez]

N20/26 takes 5L of oil. There's no need to pour it in parts. You can prove it to yourself by just pouring all the oil that came out of it into the same 5L canister. The electronic level thing shows it full in wide range of ~4.5 liters to ~6.5 liters.

[@dannyzukko8916]

Why are oil pan bolts one time use I could understand the O 'ring but why the bolt unless it's stripped. 🙉

[@johnwisniewski4402]

Do you check the oil with the car running?

[@connelly6375]

Tip. When you remove the drain plug the oil is streaming straight down and if the drain plug drops in your oil catcher right under the stream (like it probably will) the oil with splash everywhere like crazy. So pull it off to the side as you finish unscrewing it

[@RayShaw007]

very useful, thanks

[@garrettluce3726]

Who tf has a 10mm hex I’m looking at 4 sets rn and they max out at 6😭

[@tonys9413]

Exact procedure and tools for the E84 X1 sDrive28i 2014 RWD. The iDrive “Vehicle info” display on this model does not have the option of “measuring oil” below the engine oil level status. Frankly, I much prefer a dipstick to physically measure the oil; also, occasionally, extract the oil using a vacuum container system, it works great on my 2013 E350 coupe. Great video, as always!

[@Joerules]

Great view of the oil drain plug.

[@vin605]

Thanks very informative

[@jess8075]

Thank you very much.

[@davidtsao7513]

Thank you very much

[@sttm1283]

good video. im a little concerned though about the drainplug. i bought a kit and it came with a regular metalbolt with copper washer not that plastic one you show in the video. maybe i need to contact the local dealer for a oem plug.

[@javelinwolfsburg3595]

Please do a video on a BMW V8 car. Like the BMW X5 or 6 Series using the N63TU motor. My independent mechanic says to stay away from the Bimmer V8s bc of oil consumption problems and so on. I’d LOVE for you guys to do an in-depth look at the N63 motor and tell us what we need to know. Also, just ordered a set of Zimmerman rotors for my W203 C-Class. Very good quality. Thanks!!

[@keremphoto5901]

Curious if you damage the jack point receivers putting it straight on the jack stands. Why not use adapters? Also why not just use a torque wrench?

[@williamward4838]

THANK YOU

[@ricardojesus6073]

Now what if the threads on the oil pan are stripped ? I tried to screw in my plug last time and it kept spinning😭 plz help I need to change my oil I’m 3k overdue and don’t want to hear bmw or somebody tell me I need to replace the pan. Any alternatives?
