DIY Bentley Continental GT Oil Change , Will I Die? Maintaining A Used Bentley GT

[@lf3597]

I just bought a 2012 Continental GTC Thanks for showing the oil change

[@hullinger]

John, that's one clean GT. Even the engine bay and filter canister was clean looking too. Thanks for sharing and your video reminded me exactly why I hate doing my own oil changes. Not only do I make a mess of things I than have to dispose of the old oil. It ends up being a half-day job from start to finish. Ugh!

[@JohnEngel]

East Coast Classics Thank you. I had been putting this one off for a while. You are 100% right about it taking half a day. The hardest part was finding a 36mm socket and taking all the bolts out of that bottom tray. Now that it's done I'm happy I did it but making myself do it was the hard part.

[@reginaldbowls7180]

Whats so hard about disposing the oil?

[@fredbloggs9767]

When you refill, hold the can on it`s side that way it does not glug out everywhere. You should also run a bit of oil into the engine with the sump plug out . this flushes the dregs from the bottom of the sump.

Great job my man, I changed my own oil, plugs and wires on my Merc E-500

[@mayhemmike1789]

I Damn sure do

[@sideskraft]

Because of the angle of the jacked car (high on the left side), it's likely that you still have some (up to 3 liters) of old oil remaining in the oil pan. Next time do what you did (drain old oil), slide away the drain pan full of oil, replace the drain bolt, slide in a low profile pan, remove the drain bolt, and lower the jack as much as possible to allow the remaining oil in the engine oil pan to drain out. Doing oil changes on low ground clearance vehicles isn't the most fun. Doing oil changes on my V10 F250 actually is fun.

[@JNFGambler24-7]

I'M REALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS..... I did the oil and filter change today. You mentioned that the underplate would be a pain to put back, my goodness you were right. The oil and filter swaps took 15 minutes EEASYY! The underplate took only 10 minutes to remove, not as bad as I expected from your video.....BUT putting the plate back took me 2 hours, what a pain the ars#. It really annoys me that car manufacturers go out of their way to make a simple a simple fluid change so, so difficult. That said the satisfaction I now have is priceless having done the job successfully "only" paying £90 for Mobil 1 0/40 Oil and £30 for Bentley oil filter and sump plug, £120 / $95US job done, saved £300 heeee heeeee!!!! good video BTW Thunbs Up

[@nascarnationwide81]

A much simpler process for my 2001 Bentley Arnage; standard type oil filter, 10 quarts of 5w-40 full synthetic, and no jack mode to deal with. I didn't have to take off any trays to access the filter and I was able to use a standard oil filter wrench to get the old filter off. Service reset was a bit more complicated than on your GT, but I chalk that up to very dry British humor. Nice thing on the Arnage, I can turn off the park sensors with a switch located near the sunroof switch. Last weekend I tackled changing out front rotors and brake pads; not as bad as I thought it would be and everything is still working well. Nice GT, by the way; I am thinking about getting a 2007 model.

How about showing the steps to remove the wheel B plastic logo and the use of the two tools in the spare tool kit to remove the wheels? The manual is incoherent even though I went to college. Complicating it is there are apparently two different wheel configurations at least on my 2013 GTC.

I have customer's that perform their own oil changes or take them to the cheapest drive-up place. The big thing that is missed here is the vehicle inspection. This guy is barely getting the vehicle off the ground, and doing the bare minimum service. What about the rest of the vehicle? Or is the plan to just wait until there is a problem. I'm not as concerned with the loss of money as stated above (mainly because this is the guy I wouldn't want as a customer) because I will always be busy (make money). But these DIY videos send a bad message. They don't teach anything. Oh, and good job explaining the very specific oil specification required. For a 200k vehicle, the idea of this video is garbage.

Drogo Muircastle absolutely. I have a quick Jack 5000 pound lift, but it is not strong enough to lift the Bentley. I am looking into four post and two post lifts, those should be able to lift her much easier.

Considering the location of the drain plug and oil filter housing, wouldn't it have made more sense to lift the right wheel instead of the left ? or is there a particular reason to lift the left side ?

All the the above has driven down the prices of luxury petrol/gas cars making them more affordability to run, maintain, and enjoy by average guy/girl

I don’t know how anyone with a garage like that can live with themselves, not having a lift. 👍

[@JohnEngel]

Lol. I did buy a lift. The lift is great but if you can’t live without one I question if you are really a car person.

[@cmdreffietrinket]

@@JohnEngel LOL that’s a fair point, John, but at the ripe old age of 56, I have paid my dues lying on the floor and have now come to realise that suffering on purpose is not something that I’m into. I’m in the process of buying a new house and the first thing that it’s getting, is a lift in the garage! 👍 Ps. I’m in the market for a Bentley too, which is how I stumbled upon your channel. Pps. Subbed 😎

[@JohnEngel]

@@cmdreffietrinket You are completely right. Having the lift makes things so much easier. I even did another video on an oil change for the Bentley using the lift. If you do end up getting a Bentley I think he will absolutely love it.

[@alexanderyousif6098]

Do you put the car on the Jack mode when using the Ramps to lift the front. I am getting ready to change the oil on my 2007 Bentley Cont. GT with 25 K miles. the dealer want $1,100.00 to do it. thanks for your video.

[@JohnEngel]

@@alexanderyousif6098 thank you so much. You only need to put it into jack mode if you are lifting the tire off the ground. If you are driving up on a ramp you do not need to.

[@brettj.m.roebuck17]

I would've cleaned out that housing before putting the new filter in there.

[@JohnEngel]

Brett J Roebuck that's a great point. I'm now sitting here thinking how did I not do that. It's always something. Thank you for the comment and I will remember that in the future.

[@stevewhite5742]

Brett J Roebuck always clean as many things as you can in an oil change. Also a flush would have been good.

[@ralphlauren7903]

All that money it costs i was expecting the oil to come out as glitter

[@JohnEngel]

Ralph Lauren it should be Champaign. Lol. Good call.

Is the arnage oil change similar to this, the same or totally different?

[@darthnihilus3906]

What?! No funnel?!

[@JohnEngel]

Richard Perez lol. I went full pro-mode. I should have used a funnel for sure. I got lucky this time.

[@PerryGamsbyWriter]

Turn the oil bottle sideways, pours better.

[@paul9912]

@@JohnEngel turn the bottle sideways mr. Pro lol

[@Alexi7666]

What I thought, too. Funnels are dirt cheap.

[@migueldelgado273]

Own a Bentley can't afford a funnel or anything else that's for sure!! Lol

[@Alexi7666]

That plastic cover would go in the trash. And I'd get rid of those 20" rims/40 aspect ratio tires. Improve the ride, save the suspension, save money on bent wheels. 20" wheels are the dumbest, most ridiculous fad ever.

[@JohnEngel]

Alexi7666 while I do love the wheels I have now put the stock wheels back on. :)

[@ecomtomcat]

How did you the car OUT of JACK Mode ? Did you repeat the steps you did to Put it in Jack mode?

[@JohnEngel]

Ecom Tomcat you can either reverse the process or when the car is in jack mode if you put the car in drive and go over 10-15 miles per hour, it will automatically take it out of jack mode. :)

[@richardsth1]

Just drive it as per normal, and that will automatically take it out of Jack mode.

[@林紫蘋-f5y]

Does anyone know how to do service reset on a 2012 Bentley continental GT ? Thanks.

[@JohnEngel]

林紫蘋 I do not.

[@sydbell8508]

Did you people know that you can buy a hand pump from E-Bay which will pump the oil up from the sump using the dipstick tube ??? You need to leave the oil filler lid on !!! Put one tube from pump in to dipstick tube,the other tube in to a tray in front of car,pump few times and leave for the rest to pump out on it's own. ????

[@JohnEngel]

I’ll have to look into that. Thank you.

[@brianrichards9829]

Great show Jonh. I took my 2007 Bentley cont.gtc in for a wheel alignment . The guy told me there was no adjustment for the camber . Is this true . The car pulls slightly to the left Please advise Kind regards Brian

[@JohnEngel]

I have not done a camber adjustment on the GT yet. Some cars have no adjustment but most do.

[@brianrichards9829]

Thanks John . Looking forward to watching more of your posts @@JohnEngel

[@ericfrias6102]

Damn I always wondered if it was any different from any other car but its literally as easy as a Honda just extra screws for the lower panel

[@JohnEngel]

Eric Frias you are absolutely right. After the splash pan is removed it’s just as easy as any other car. :) it’s crazy how much Bentley chargers to do this job.

[@mbrunocondello]

Do you even need to put the plastic bottom covers back on ? Top video

[@JohnEngel]

bruno condello I am sure that you could leave it off but I would not if you didn't need to. On some cars this affects the air flow and can cause issues.

[@mbrunocondello]

John Engel - love your work bro !!

[@JohnEngel]

bruno condello thank you so much. :)

[@dtcov]

So close to buying my very own Bentley

[@JohnEngel]

David Tompkins you will love it. They are great cars and drive so well.

[@toobad9946]

Do you have to take it out of Jack mode or does that happen automatically the next time you put the car in gear?

[@JohnEngel]

You can do the same process, which will take it out of Jack Mode or just drive it and when you hit 10 mph it will take it out automatically.

I have a 2016 V8S, I want to reset my service indicator ( I bought the car used from Bentley dealer in January 2020) I have only put 2500 miles on it since then.... now the service indicator light is telling me I need a service in 15 days or 5600 miles... The car runs perfect... I want to reset the service indicator until the full year (next January). I cannot find anywhere the sequence to reset this? I tried your method... but didn't work on the 2016.. any ideas? thanks

[@JohnEngel]

Dr. Daniel Sullivan yeah they changed the reset method after 2010 I think. I’m not sure on that one.

[@dr.danielsullivan828]

John Engel hmmm.... if you or anyone else has any suggestions, pls submit. I don’t think the Bentley Dealer will divulge...

[@dr.danielsullivan828]

John Engel I will probably have someplace with all the equipment change the oil... having the car up on a jack or ramps will likely result in a incomplete oil change due to the drainage angle? ( I’m guessing)

[@chairman2465]

Which year model is this Bentley?
