Engine Oil Change, CBS Reset, Jacking DIY for BMW E90 E92 E93 M3

Let’s use a trolley jack and jack stands for engine oil change of BMW E90 M3. The engine oil of the S65 engine can only be drained from the bottom so lifting is necessary. The ground clearance of E9x M3 is as low as 110mm so it requires some effort in using the jack. The walkthrough follows the BMW service instruction; first replace the oil filter, second the engine oil, then reset the CBS reminder. The required parts, quantity and tightening torques are introduced in detail.
**Required parts**
Engine oil: SAE 10W-60 (BMW recommends Castrol), 9-10 liter
Oil filter: Mahle OX254 D3 or Mann HU926/5z
**Required tools**
Jack and stands (Stop using the floor jack. Use hydraulic car lift instead: • Using #Luxmain Portabl... )
Hex 6mm H6 bit
Hex 36 mm H36 socket
Torque wrench 25 Nm, 40 Nm
**Sections**
0:00 Opening
0:26 Jack points of the E9x M3
[DO NOT jack the differential cover!]
4:38 Replacing the oil filter
Oil filter cap torque = 40 Nm
Prime the oil filter, or add some oil in the filter housing and immerse the filter, and do the filter cap.
8:32 Draining oil
Oil drain plugs torque = 25 Nm
10:38 Adding oil
INITIALLY add 8.8L with oil filter change
or 8.4L without oil filter change
[Warm up the car, read oil level, then top up oil]

*Important!* SAFETY FIRST for using car jacks! - Undo both TWO plugs to drain oil. - Drain plug torque is 25 Nm. - Add 8.8/8.4 L first, then top up the oil according to oil level. *重要!* 使用千斤頂，安全第一！ - 放油螺絲有2顆 - 放油螺絲扭力為25 Nm - 先加入8.8/8.4公升機油，再看油量添滿

Excellent video. Thank You!

Hi Ken thank you very much too 🤗

OIL DRAIN MUST BE BEFORE CHANGING FILTRE DRAIN WITH FILTRE AND OIL CAPS OPEN FOR SMOOTH AND COMPLETE DRAINING FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN BMW RECOMMEND SHELL FOR NOW BUT LIQUI MOLY IS THE BEST OF ALL

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Amairi thank you for the tips! I totally agree with you and I have been doing it in this sequence. But before I did this video, I referred to the instructions in ISTA and this is the exact order for the S65 engine. Perhaps there are some background information for this but it is not explained by BMW. So this is why I decided to go in this oil changing sequence. I think either ways are okay as long as we are changing fresh oil frequently. But the best way is like you said, to completely remove the old oil in the system. Best regards to you!

You forgot to mention that the egine oil has to be at least 70°C. Then you should prefill the oil filter housing with new oil before putting the filter in so that the engine is suplied immediately with oil at the first start.

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Matthias thank you for the tips! I will do these for sure in the next oil change, and mention them in the future videos. Please don't mind me referring to you 😁 See you soon!

請問一下 你的D CAN線去哪裡買的 我的DCAN 沒有辦法用ISATA做診斷 賣軟體的說是線的問題

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

您好！我是在露天拍賣上買的（不過時間太久已經找不到紀錄），是K+DCAN，上面帶有開關的，E9x使用時開關要撥到D那邊。這個線好像無法適用太舊、還有F系以後的車種，需要注意一下！ 另外驅動程式的安裝，與虛擬COM連接埠的設定也必須正確，才能與車子連線唷！您如果可以使用INPA，那麼ISTA應該是也可以的。

Carl, get a Quickjack. Much easier!

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Bradley thank you for the recommendation! I did take a look at Quickjack website and they seem really good! My environment is kinda limiting so I chose these primitive tools at this moment. I will definitely go for powered jacks when I have a garage in the future! And Quickjack if you see this you are very welcome to become a sponsor 😁😁😁

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Bradley how are you? I did not buy Quickjack but I bought Luxmain and here's why and the review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqK6mZh3a6p0o80 thank you again for the suggestion about the hydraulic car lift. Now I can lift the car much easier!

[@SalvatorePellitteri]

Hi you forget to prime the oil filter with oil, very important

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Salvatore thank you very much for the reminder! Yes I agree to do so but somehow I missed this step in the video. I will include this tip in the description and comment. You are very welcome to come back often🤗. A new video about flashing ECU is coming!

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Salvatore how are you? I remembered to prime the oil filter in the last oil change. Thanks to you in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqpYYaGntimfpo 😁

Curious to ask, have you done rod bearings on the M3?

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi kid, thank you for your question. Yes the rod bearings have been changed on my M3 at 110k km, but they are done by some tuner. My tools and facility are quite limited, so I was not comfortable to do it by myself. However, I do hope to have a garage with full tools in the future so I can enjoy DIY. Maybe I can do it at 200k km 🤗

[@matthias_372]

@@funcarsgoodpeople Rod bearings are a pain, tighten screws several times, that's tedious. I would not want to do this myself.

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

@@matthias_372 Hi Matthias I believe "pain" is the precise word for rod bearings DIY. You have done it anyway, you are a hero 🥺🥺🥺

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hey guys I finally tried out the hydraulic car lift at home. This makes lifting much more easier. I bought the #Luxmain Portable Quick Lift and here's the review and story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqK6mZh3a6p0o80

How much is this worth in Taiwan?

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

hi do you mean the jack and stands? i took me 13800 TWD about 485 USD. Oil and filter costed 4000 TWD about 140 USD 🤗

[@Aspireonthego]

@@funcarsgoodpeople I meant the car haha

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

oh 😆 E90 M3 with manual gearbox is worth about 1.7M TWD around 60K USD as recently as I heard. It really costs a lot to own any cars here in TW 🥲

[@Aspireonthego]

請問千斤頂哪裡買？什麼牌子的呢？

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

您好，（這不是廣告😆）我在露天拍賣上向小楊汽車工具訂購的JTC SJ2083千斤頂，還有JS601腳架。請參考 🤗 是台製的喔！感覺還不錯👍

感謝回覆。 我也是很愛diy。我預計兩三年後要換e90m3。很喜歡你的影片👍

謝謝你的肯定！我也會繼續分享好的內容🤗 我為那部幸運E90M3感到開心，因為有人會好好愛她 ❤️

The most important you didn’t forget the mask.

Hahaha it was February 2022, people in TW were still required to wear masks when leaving their houses. I just didn’t want to scare my neighbors😉
