How I Replaced my BMW N54 Oil Filter Housing and Intake Manifold Gaskets
The BMW 335i had oil, antifreeze, and a mess on the radiator, so it was time to replace the oil filter housing and the intake manifold gaskets. This is a big job and I'm going to show you with an over 33 minute tutorial video for how to replace your N54 Oil Filter Housing.
Stay tuned for the whole walk through of this job. You're going to learn a ton about the #n54 #engine and the entire BMW lineup of cars through this #DIY. This can be followed for the BMW 135, 335, e90, e91, e92, e93, e60, 535i, z4 35i, 740i, and x6

Surely one of the best video regarding this topic. With a lot of details. Thanks a lot👍

[@Ruben-ef8qm]

Best oil filter housing and intake gaskets change I've seen so far, no need to remove the radiator fan. Thanks. I'm doing mines using this step by step video, I'll let you know how it goes, lol. Hopefully I can reach out to you if I have a question.

[@ECPP]

Awesome, thanks for watching and sure reach out but I tried to be quite detailed in this video. Good luck ad just take your time it will work.

[@JohnnyRoyalIsHere]

Torque spec on the oil filter housing bolts is 22 Nm (~195 in. lb.). Kind of an important thing to know to prevent under or overtightening.

[@ECPP]

Thanks

[@MatthewVaras]

This was such an amazing and detailed video. Thank you so much!

[@ECPP]

You're so welcome!

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Awesome video thank you

[@mulgamark1620]

Know that job well, great video Mark

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

[@curtssallee9807]

I love this guy....true bimmer head

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot for watching and the great comment. When you own one of these cars, you really do need to learn how to fix these things. Lol

[@singlecellorganism13]

great work!

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot, quite detailed and it should help anyone who is trying to tackle this job.

[@ynoyellow4829]

take the front of oil filter off first for easy access to bottom bolt, also there is enough room to just slide intake manifold back slightly to get hidden bolt, also no need to remove water hose for quick change but good work

[@ynoyellow4829]

do mine in about a hr

[@agentfartfox]

People exaggerated this job so much. I think you were the best one that showed this properly & thoroughly. Just a question idk if I caught it in the video but what size torx did you use for all the bolts? That & is there a video of you replacing the oil cooler gasket?

[@geogabi77]

I did the same on my 535xi plus the valve cover replacement anolng with the spark plugs & vacuum lines, no wonder ,it had 183k miles .

[@JeorgeJetsin]

An aftermarket short ram intake pipe retrofitted as a charge pipe. Smart.. Did That BOV fit right onto the MAF sensor port or did you have to do make any adjustments?

[@mikedeckert7201]

For some reason I thought you had to use new bolts for reassembly. Love your videos. I've been shopping for a 335i coupe so much tuneability.

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot for watching, if you can do a bit of wrenching , these are great cars

[@nathanross963]

From what I’ve seen you do need to change the bolts because they are aluminum. When you buy a kit from fcp euro they come with all the needed hardware. Just bought the kit for my e92 and should be here in a couple days.

[@allmycarsisbroke]

@@nathanross963 Correct, you are supposed to replace the oil filter housing bolts when you do this job because they're 1-time use aluminum TTY bolts. If you don't replace them, they can't properly hold the appropriate torque.

[@ianwinstead3130]

Is there any way you can send a complete list of tools needed to get the job done? I need to do this job and replace my valve cover gasket. Pretty much already going there just to do this job.

[@joecastro23]

What was the torque for the 13mm bolt holding on the oil cooler lines

[@tym378]

Did you change the oil cooler gasket?

[@Sackless]

any product id numbers for the big ring and tiny ring of the cap and the filter itself? , im searching for them.

[@LS10Works]

What do you do about the coolant you lost? Is it just negligible? Does the system need burping now?

[@ECPP]

Yes if you lose a significant amount then there may be a need to te bleed the system

[@sergeyobrezha6780]

U forgot to take a look at if ur valves need a cleaning 😁, I was curious to see how bad it was at the milage ur at.

[@ECPP]

Apparently they were done by PO recently before me buying car.

[@AfricanThorr]

Does the fan need to come out to replace serpentine belt ?

[@bonolokhonkhe3542]

yeah, there is literally no space even with the fan out, so yeah it needs to come off

[@campmofo87]

Do you need to drain the oil and coolant for this job?

[@ECPP]

No not entirely but a little of both is lost so some top up is required for both and bleed the cooling system after.

[@campmofo87]

@@ECPP Thanks! Some people were saying you needed to drain all the oil and coolant. I just changed my oil a week ago and my coolant 2 weeks ago and didn’t want to redo it. Great video!!!

[@phillipguy4890]

What is the torque foot pounds on the 3 bolts of the OFH?

[@DigitalDissident]

OFHG bolts: 22nm, OFH Cooler bolts: 19nm, Intake bolts: 15nm

[@omarluque8470]

Do u have a video of oil cooler gasket?

[@ECPP]

Yes

[@omarluque8470]

@@ECPP I can’t find it

[@gatiyovideo]

Was this your leaking problem?

[@thomashelm6931]

And...que the plastic clips disintegrating in your hands? Hopefully, those are easily replaced as well.

[@ECPP]

Generally things hold up but yes, there always seems to be something coming apart at the seams

[@bonolokhonkhe3542]

that sensor broke on mine too,

[@ECPP]

Thanks for sharing

[@moisesavila4527]

How much did you charge for that job ??? 😅😁

[@ECPP]

No charge as it was my car. Parts were cheap at around 100 bucks for all gaskets

[@moisesavila4527]

@@ECPP yeah easy but alot of work 🤐🤐🤐

[@mperez9745]

Lol, that is not a big job and also..just the correct tools!

[@SS-qu6pm]

Wow , SSSSo Many PLASTIC PARTS

[@ECPP]

Absolutely

[@rumporridge1]

Plastic = weight saving = greater power to weight ratio. Too many gurlie men complaining about turning a wench. Sad times.

This junk , this piece of crap !!!!love it!!!
