BMW E60 M5 Oil Change DIY

[@adeelcyril3339]

Before I even watch this video. I know this is gonna be a better video than the garbage video oil change videos of an E60 M5 done properly. Keep up the quality DIY content!

[@lukasmeyer1992]

M5 E60 after 03/2007 have 2 oil plugs, older ones only one. On the older ones you will not get all oil out. Its important that the car is totally level (not only on 2 jack stands) and the car has to run 1min bevor draining the oil out. During this time a pump will suck out the oil from the 2nd oil pan and pump it where you can release it. On newer cars after 03/2007 you have a second oil plug in the front of the car. Its in front of the steering rack, and both of them have to be removed for a proper oil change. Both screws need to be tightened with 25Nm. Oil filter drain plug 10Nm and the oilfilter itself 18Nm.

Are you answering the question you posed three years ago a year ago?

[@mattwardpictures]

Beautiful car! That S85 (and S65) is a Rolex among engines-obsolete now by every metric, and yet built with such craft, and with such a beguiling character about the way it works, sounds, and does its job, that it is a breathtakingly beautiful work of engineering art.

[@carfreakkk]

Matthew Ward beautil engine and sound but not reliable.that s85 v10 motor suffers from a lot of issues.rod bearings,vanos oil pump, and throttle bodies accurators.the v8 twin turbo on the f10 m5 is much better

[@jon_e96]

@@carfreakkk the v8 twin turbo is even more unreliable IMO once you fix rod bearings it’s not that bad

[@carfreakkk]

Of course I had one for 6 years cx06446 was the last 7 vin number sepang bronze was the color.i remembered the Vin from all the parts and shit I purchased. My 2 friends had same car and had issues also. Was my favorite car to drive but I had many problems.just look online and see what owners are saying. Look up Troy jeup he fixes those cars for a living and get M5 shipped from Europe with issues.

Hello E39 Source, Thank you for a great video that includes torque specs for this oil change. No finishing my oil change on an 08 (2 pan plugs).....needed torque values. FYI: 2nd crush washer is for later models with 2nd drain plug at front of oil pan. Cheers! Mr. P

[@vahanghazarian8873]

The second copper crush washer is for later models, that had TWO bolts on the oil pan. The oil pan on these engines had a baffle, to stop oil from splashing around during acceleration/deceleration, and cornering. The Baffle in the oil pan also stopped the oil from fully being drained during oil changes. Thus, during the later model years, they placed another oil plug. One on one side of the oil pan and the other, on the other side of the baffle wall.

[@E39Source]

I have come to learn this over the past several years, but thank you for articulating it well here!

[@alexwalters2775]

I just did my oil change a week before this was uploaded. This video would've made it so much easier.

[@1Chinx]

It's so crazy how fast and low the e60 m5 depreciated.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Thanks for sharing. I reviewed a V10 M5 for my KZbin Channel, I am in love with the sound of that engine

[@championworx]

Great DIY video of the oil change on the e60!! Took mine to a oil change place before and they didn't know how to do it. After that its best to just change it yourself!

[@stevenjordan-smith8922]

Thanks so much!! Got my beast done for the first time myself, yesterday!!

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

Look at what Exotic Car Play Place has learned about oil viscosity in S-85 and S-65 engines. He has found that the 10w/60 is too heavy for these engines as the internal tolerances are much too tight. This is a major part of why the rodbearings and VANOS pumps fail. BMW also seems to have finally figured it out, since they are now using (if I remember correctly) 0w/40 oil in the F90 M5.

[@DECKEDM]

Lmao, F90 M5 is completely different engine... your talking a bunch of crap

[@thejpalbano]

I always thought the S85 needed to be connected to INPA to activate the oil sumps to allow for a full oil change. Thoughts?

[@BoogieBoyBronx]

thank you guys very much, been looking for this for a long time!

[@Tangelos]

You should make mention that cars 2008 and later have dual drain plugs on the pan

[@keithaverill1223]

Good video....I just bought an 06 M5 last week so good information - thanks!

[@ThePhotoForce]

Awesome, thanks for the video. Great looking E60.

[@suzukiyakudze2131]

i"m a e60 m5 enthusiast that bought from auction 2 of em, both 2008 edition 1 is manual an other one is smg, i need to transfer front end from smg to manual one, the rest of it i need part out or sell, fan watching from los angeles.

[@BIMMERZEITT]

Beautiful M5. Puts the E39 to shame! (I kid)

[@johnhagebeuk8]

That engine sounds so good

[@Lumibrisk]

The oil filter panel that comes off should have 4 10mm bolts of the same kind.. Seems that someone changed those sometime in the cars history. As mentioned, the second washer is for the new 08+ M5's with two drain bolts.

[@BoostedZ51]

Question about the 24mil. Where can I buy it at. Second question does it go around the cap or the nut?

[@magincap70]

These take the 10w60 synthetic like the e39 does? Did a change on an e39 today that was ticking like crazy. Instantly went away. Sounded like a different car.

[@Kels14B]

Yeah Shoutout to ECSTuning i got my parts from that site cheap and their Genuine BMW Parts too Motor mounts and Engine coils i spent less then $400 On Both.

[@michaelprice4816]

Level is key word..inc drain level

[@marka6408]

So I wanted to see how you took the drain bolt out without making a mess?

[@E39Source]

Loosen 90 of the way with a socket/wrench. Then twist off by hand while pulling so when it lets go you don't get your hands covered in hot oil. Obviously have the pan down low and ready to go.

[@theperformancereviewchannel]

Nicely done, good content and right to the point.

[@blackericdenice]

Why didn't you remove the oil filter first when the pan was not filled with hot oil?

[@E39Source]

You can do it in any order!

[@ralphpeiris5996]

Great video😄😄😊

[@jsaleh415]

Amazing job budd

[@jonnygarcia114]

nice E60 bro

[@DJizz82]

Any plans on making a video for SMG Transmission oil change and differential?

[@E39Source]

Not unless Nick decides that he wants to do it.

[@AmenIamHotepRA]

Could this E60 engine fit into an e39 540i and how is it done?

[@E39Source]

I think people have put the S85 in the E39 chassis, but I wouldn't recommend it.

[@iPhoneAppReviewer]

Somebody swapped an S85 into an E30 there’s videos on here of it. With enough motivation and unlimited cash I’m sure any swap can be done.

[@GibsonKing1]

e60 source

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Oil filter housings & O-rings - it's like a trip back in time to the 1970's - only with no dispsticks. Why don't they move to integrated filters like the rest of the world?

[@aliawad1202]

hey what's up? So I'm actually in the market for in e60 m5 but have concerns about the rod bearing issues. I don't want to buy one and then have to deal with a blown car lmao I'm only 19 and wont have money for an engine, but anyways if you could please tell me anything that would help it would be much appreciated! p.s I subbed

[@E39Source]

Thanks for the sub! On an E60, I would consider them a regular wearable part that needs to be serviced. I would recommend replacing them before 100k miles, and doing oil analysis tests at each oil change (7,500 miles). Otherwise, there is always a risk of failure. My dad is selling his 2006 E60 M5 currently. It has 83,000 miles and is located in San Diego. Please reference one of our videos from this past July where I do a full walk-around of the car.

[@aliawad1202]

Thanks for the response! I actually watched that video right after lol, it's just I'm looking for a higher mileage one to fit my budget :( its a shame I cant afford it because I'm defiantly like your father and yourself when it comes to the cleanliness of a car

[@alexmartinez280]

Ali Awad E60 M5 was a $100k car new so parts and maintenance will reflect that. At your age you should be looking a cheaper, smaller and way less power to work on your driving skills and not using high power to actually allow you to hide bad skills and never improve. Many great BMW cars like 330i ZHP that would be fantastic for you. My first was e30 325 from 1989. I loved that car and learned how to really work on BMWs, also the price to maintain one properly. BMW must stay on maintenance schedule and are not drive until something breaks kind of cars. A cheap BMW price is almost never a good idea so try and by from an enthusiast or someone who provides a good service history.

[@gsheverything_2716]

I'm just learning about this car, I heard that they are relatively cheap for 500hp+

[@davidmitchell5638]

GSHeverything _27 *to buy not to own.

[@12345yarg]

Find one with low mileage and a superb maintenance history, If the car doesn't have oil changes on record less then 5K mile intervals don't buy it. Unless it has had it's rod bearing replaced at least once. I only bought mine because it had less then 50K miles and the carfax showed oil changes every 3K miles. I paid $17.5K US for mine,

[@1990vette4mac]

What kind of exhaust is on black E60 M5?

[@E39Source]

Masahiro Fujii Muffler delete, resonator delete, secondary cat delete. I don’t recommend it.

[@1990vette4mac]

Absolutely !! Thanks Anyway

[@stephenEs3532]

[@justinwithers4065]

I do not prefer Mann filters. My stepmothers E92 328i had straight 40 oil with the Mann filter and after 500 miles the O ring started leaking. Moly or Bosch is the way to go!

[@DylanBB18]

Justin Withers either your housing was over torqued or the o ring was damaged and wasn't noticeable....mann is one of the best and I've used it on many bmws. E36,39,e46 etc... no issues at all.

[@Knightrider-s3d]

@@DylanBB18 you are right Mann filter is same as genuine with BMW markings

[@chadjones99]

Why not switch over to 0w-40?

[@E39Source]

Why would we do that?

[@chadjones99]

E39Source I hear it helps with the rod bearing issue in these cars. The 60 weight is not leaving the bearing race and heats up and starves the oil supply to the rod bearings ???

[@E39Source]

That seems extremely light though, which could compromise the VANOS system. The rod bearing issue is an engine design failure, not a function of heavy oil. You're best to just replace the rod bearings every 75,000 miles.

[@vrsmartin2981]

sorry but the best sounds there was the rain. the V10 only sounds good on full chat. unlike the e39 v8 which sounds good at any rpm

[@12345yarg]

I like that my e60 M5 sounds like a tractor at idle lol Also glad it isn't loud at all time, even with the muffler removed the car is only loud during the warm up cycle and at high RPMs. To each their own.

[@yaron1998]

I might sound like a noob, but whats up with the kidney grills ?

[@YoMoore19]

You mean why are they black or why are they there? The kidney grills are the iconic BMW grills; they are black because the owner replaced the stock chrome ones with them.

[@itshappening100]

they say 10w50 is better, although not officially recommended

[@iPhoneAppReviewer]

Martin Zvarík 5w50 is the best. I’m pretty sure the whole reason for the notorious rod bearing failure is the fact that these cars were spec’d with such a thick oil. For example, the LS7 has a tighter rod bearing clearance than the S85 but yet there isn’t a rod bearing issue with those engines and they’re running much thinner oil.

[@chadjones99]

I'm hearing to switch to 0w-40

[@iPhoneAppReviewer]

chad jones only necessary if you live in sub zero climate.
