Great video

[@SilvoLP]

hi there, at min 1:04 you were talking about the official bmw service manual, is there any chance you could share it? or where did you read it?

[@tuned_auto]

You can purchase copies on eBay for under 20$

[@SilvoLP]

@@tuned_auto official bmw manuals? If so, could you post the link because i live in Germany and i cant find anything on ebay here

[@M4rquez214]

Yo bro manual says 5w30 on S55 engines. I see that you used 5w40 instead. Have you had any issues? I have a couple mods to my car and wanted to try liqui molly but they only sell 5w40

[@tuned_auto]

Updated manual includes 5w-40. Believe it started on 2017

[@angelzooted657]

The oil brand doesn’t matter right? As long as it’s SAE 5w-40 oil

[@tuned_auto]

Not all brands are created equal. Two popular brands are Motul and Liqui Moly

[@mushy1983123]

How many litres of oil does it take in total

@@tuned_auto @BostonM2C I hit up meets on occasion 😊👍

[@ecliffg]

What happens if you pour in all the 7 liters of oil?

[@Geraldodotz]

You can then drive to outer space.

Where’s the free oil change video?

[@Omarrrr]

It’s probably just FCP Euro

[@honestychampmilland2007]

​@Omarrrr i dont think they offer lifetime on liquid items. The filters yes but im interested in his video too

[@lesliecats]

Drain Plug - 25nm (18ft/lbs) you sure？ I heard 20

[@tuned_auto]

20nm for magnesium oil pan (up to 08/31/14). Manual states that Aluminium pan (from 09/01/14) is 25nm

[@lesliecats]

@@tuned_auto I just browsed ISTA, which seems to mean that it is 25Mn if the sealing ring has been replaced, and 20Nm if the sealing ring and screw have been replaced at the same time. I guess

[@tuned_auto]

@@lesliecats that makes sense. They recommend replacing the bolt with the magnesium pan. Not Aluminum which 99% of S55s should be.
