BMW oil changes can get pricey and worst of all, it takes a lot of time our of your day to go to the dealer while also spending $200 on an oil change that you can do yourself in 30 minutes for less than $100 using a much better oil than you would get at the dealer. In this video, I show you step by step how to change the oil on the BMW B58 engine that's found in many BMWs, but the steps shows here are exactly the same as in BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7 with the B48 engine usually modeled as the 40i models. I also show you how to reset the service reminder as well as how to disable the air suspension for working under the vehicle.

Excellent X5 oil change video. Everything is exactly as shown in this video. I followed every step, even used same zip tie to tie the expansion tank. The filter is at an awkward position, not as easy to reach as previous model but still easy enough. Thank you for showing us how to do it! And BTW, it's way faster doing it yourself, less than 30 minutes. I hate to wait hours at dealership for a simple job like this.

[@sb62082]

Thank you . I just changed the oil in my 2020 BMW X5 thanks to your video. your video is perfect.

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped!

[@cnun2028]

Great video, very well done. Gave me everything I needed to know to do the oil change in the X5 and reset the reminder code, thanks! I will caution though if you are planning to jack the car up AND you raise the air suspension all the way, the reach to the filter is quite a stretch - I’m 6’2” with a pretty long reach and I used all of it. Maybe don’t raise the suspension if you’re going to jack it up anyway.

[@chrisginoc]

Dealership was trying to charge me $280 for an oil change on my 2022 X7...gtfoh. This ain't rocket science

[@Izberg3rdblk]

How much was the parts and what was the labor rate per hour?

[@chrisginoc]

@@Izberg3rdblk on the dealership quote?

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

Right… but then that warranty is at risk

[@jackcheng7437]

Very good speak about oil change and did it!🎉🎉❤

[@abdulrahmanabdullah8564]

OMG you made look so easy!

[@jamesogara2219]

Excellent video!

[@JasonShawOfficial]

I don’t think you are reading the oil fill level gauge correctly. In the video you had it to the “full” line and then added more oil hence overfilling it. I believe it’s designed that the top section is supposed to be “empty”. What does the oil fill display look like after you add the additional oil?

[@repairvehicle]

brand does matter, just like car brand matter and have different specifications.

[@jesusfelix7338]

Thank you... Simple Car Guy...

[@Amarnath2k2]

Is it okay to do it by ourselves!..no need to do it from the BMW service, car warranty, resale etc...wll not be effected?..

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Absolutely, service does not have to be done at the dealer for the car warranty to be valid.

[@Charles_894]

Good instruction!! can you tell us about feeling of the engine works after the engine oil changed?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

It felt exactly the same as before. It’s been running very smoothly without issues since the video was made.

[@harryrjones5975]

Thank you for the video. Where did you get your service info you displayed @ 6:11 mark?

[@slumking112]

Hey can we get a recommendation on the jack and jack stands i know the bmws have that riund jack point or can any jack stant be used....thanks for all your awesome info too.....

[@Points-Guy]

Can you see the difference between X series assembled in US vs other bmw assembled in Germany?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I haven't noticed any difference so far. This is my first SUV from BMW, so I can only compare it to the 550i I had and the quality seems to be the same. No squeaks or funny noises or anything like that.

[@bimmerfan6538]

Excellent guide!

[@AnhNguyen-mz1ju]

Thanks you

[@ktm10876]

Cool stuff

[@repairvehicle]

not a best viscosity for turbo engine.

[@chrism8812]

is this the same procedure for the 5.0i engine- X5?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

There is no 5.0i engine on X5. If you are talking about the 4.4L engine, its going to be slight different, like the location of the filter

How to change bmw wipers?

[@davidp3888]

Where did you jack up the car? Is there a center jack point clearly marked underneath?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

There is a center Jack point under the engine. I don’t know if it’s marked, but it’s the only thing that’s not covered by a plastic shield there. It’s common on many BMWs.

[@wendell6692]

Get rid of the phone vent mount. It will break

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I’ve had a vent mount on all my cars for years, no problems

[@christainoblurr]

@SimpleCarGuy What hydraulic jack do you use to lift the X5 up?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Just a standard 3ton jack I got a few years ago at Harbor Freight.

[@greggiacona238]

On a 2020 X5, will I enter diagnostic mode in the same way you did on your X7?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, the process is the same. Only difference would be if you don’t have air suspension, you can skip that step.

[@greggiacona238]

@@SimpleCarGuy got it thank u

[@chenyongyong7841]

Hello, I want to make sure that this oil has any adverse effects on the engine? Because it is not original.

[@SimpleCarGuy]

This one is better than the original. You can get the original or equivalent for cheaper.

[@robertbchase]

Yikes. The amount of ABS plastic on that engine is terrifying.

[@d47000]

Unfortunately all cars are this way now. BMW engines have been looking like this since the mid 2000s, there were some initial growing pains but they've figured out what works and what doesn't at this point.

[@robertbchase]

@@d47000 It's amazing to me at times the number of late model cars after that mid 2000's period that have already been scrapped. These car's aren't going to be around for long. It's unfortunate. Cars used to have a reasonable lifespan. Now they seem to mechanically total themselves at around the 10 year mark.

[@d47000]

@@robertbchase Yep... I see heaps of

[@robertbchase]

@@d47000 It's unfortunate for sure and a shame that the car makers are passing off a disposable plastic products as durable goods. The average car is around 50k these days. 50k for a disposable plastic car. :/

[@aidenp5768]

It'll be alright you guys freaking out over nothing, b58 proven to be reliable, extension tanks being plastic nothing new, valve cover nothing new, it breaks.. fix it. This shouldn't bother anyone who's looking to buy a almost 6 figure car. See the pros instead of cons, these engines are so much lighter now than it was in the 90s, cheaper parts, easier to probably produce these parts. The old bmw m52 for example weighed 500lbs the B58 with even slightly bigger displacement, and turbos only weighs 306lbs. Making these cars drive the way they do. Trust me I love older engines and cars more than new but this the way and it aint going back.

[@rishiharani288]

You inserted the oil filter without cleaning the oil filter housing unit with wd40.
