BMW X5 2004 3 0 L6 How to change oil pan gasket

[@SilveradoXST]

Great video. I’m fixing to do this job on my ‘06 X5 E53 3.0i. Your video has given me lots of notes to write down. Great order of steps. Plus a list of parts to replace while the lower sun frame is out. Best video I found on this job. Other videos of X5 are newer models with the same problem! If only BMW ran their engines cooler and not used recycled plastics for parts, BMW would be less oil leak and cooling hose break free.

[@TheBigBigSean]

That is an insane job for an oil pan gasket leak.

[@themindofamadman2024]

Im doing a E53 now on the ground with jacks and engine support bracket this was by far the best video iv seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing it i dont think people realize its not just doing the job you also have to keep the camera on you while you work. I Subscribed!!!!! Great work.....

[@samueltaft8670]

Same thing here. Question, when you used the support bar did you attach to both engine lift points or just the front like in this video?

[@Jeremiah.1]

Good mechanic Excellent video Honest mechanic Thanks for a nice quality step by step video We are learning

[@flynspaceball6445]

There is no way one can do it himself with out heavy duty tools and gears. This is a professional job.

[@liorzummay2494]

I am estimating here well over 10 hours of labor for replacing that oil pan gasket. Thank you for the video, straight to the point.

[@j.rjunior5584]

12hrs, for labor to be exact

[@NoeHernandez-w7j]

Who much should i Charge for this job

[@papascabs2767]

Sir... doing another job and used your video! Thanks again!

[@UnleashedPlanet]

Brilliant video. Was considering to work on the ground but I change my mind. I have a quick question. I just changed my front suspension such as lower arms, drop link, lower ball joints BUT NOT the tie rods. I then took it for a road test and my wheel alighment is completely out. Any suggestions why its out? My conclusion is that previously, wheel alighment was carried out with worn suspension parts. Tomorrow I will fit new tie rods and carry out a full wheel alignment myself. Update tomorrow guys.

[@jameslpilot477]

Thankyou. I'm doing the rear main seal seal now, and realised I also need to do the oil pan gasket. Thanks for the video. (From Australia)

[@eschrader]

You had me up until 9 minutes in at removing the axel. I am going to pass up buying a used x5 with an oil pan leak lol

[@vadiq8147]

great guide! now I can change the oil pan gasket, but first off I need to buy a BMW X5 :)

[@persistencewins]

This is a really cool note...

[@benjaminsmith4519]

I got a metal gasket for the lower portion of the oil pan. Did you use an adhesive? Should I use a adhesive/sealant on a metal bmw gasket

[@CarlosHernandez-vv1en]

Great video very clear and helpful. I am planning to do this job on my 2003. Thank you for the tips.

[@bandittwentynine5131]

So insane! Unbelievable. BMW is so crazy with this stuff.

[@blairguinea1337]

Great job Sergei, big job as some sump gasket are easy to change, no wonder the beemer guys leave the oil leaking !, thank you Sir................from NZ

[@chrise4659]

So does the front diff come off the car before dropping the pan?

[@AndreA-qe8lc]

Hey.Can i replace the oil pan e53 without sub frame? Transmission is not installed,only motor lift helps me to get access to oil pan?

[@samoo8933]

Any idea how much that would cost" I am in Canada"? same car bmw e53 x5 2006 ?Thx

[@ucefkh]

Lovely man thank you sir for your kind teaching and showing us how ❤

[@juanpretorius4322]

Thanks for taking the time to make this very informative video ........I am busy doing it now !

[@persistencewins]

Great & clear tutorial sir but would be much cooler if had some lighting to see it better. thumbs up & 10 **********!

[@STPacher]

Where in San Francisco is your shop! I have the same problem on my X5!

[@arnoldbaclig7709]

Awesome job 👌👌👌 next time when you upload pls. Put a light so that viewer can see it thanks 👍👍👍

[@MyAddictedLife]

You are very talented doing that and filming, thanks for doing this! Are you in California?!

[@erickrivera3923]

Did you remove the differential completely or did it just hang there? Great video but the differential part is what I was looking to find out ...

[@elvisgalarzavelazquez9336]

Thanks. This video help me with my X5 So much...

[@Jeremiah.1]

Hey how much is this job labor charge

[@Giggidygiggidy12]

Theres a repair hsck for this L6 engine; first cutting the new gasket in two specific places to allow you to insert after removing the old gasket without having to drop the subframe amd applying a few dabs of ultra black sealant at the cut locations to seal the gasket. Would love to see you show is that version of the repair. Obviously at our own risk, since its not the bmw standard procedure

[@magnumardent]

ohhh....should have bought me another car....:) (same exactly, but 2001) , great upload, thanks so much!

[@michaelwesterlund696]

Would this be the same process for a 1009 X3?

[@aljinn89]

I live in SF. And have same issue. I think. How can I bring it in?.

[@hunnitkaydj]

What size is subframe star bolts

[@leotomassetti8434]

Hello, i have an e93 with the M57 diesel engine, probably soon i have to do this job, for now i don’t have a serious leak, but soon i’ll change the gasket, can you tell me how much time would this take? Btw i’ll let my mechanic do the job (It’s only rwd so no front diff)

[@ennie1507]

[@Shas4Ever]

Your video is OK, but the most important part you didn't show that how to take out the reinforcement sub frame plate because that's the pain to take it out.
