You drained from the full plug. You also drained with the drain plug. My questions is how can you refill without the new fluid coming back out from the fill plug. I only want to add fluid. Not drop the pan. I opened the full plug and everything came out. How can you refill from the same spot with out all the new fluid coming back out?

[@mikes.garage]

You need to fill up fluid with running engine, otherwise your fluid will come out of the fill plug.

[@kevinc3510]

Is this the same process for a 2004 645ci ?? I got an exhaust pipe running parallel to the drain plug. Filling with engine running should be FUN!!! 😖

@@mikes.garage I pulled the drain plug & let it drain completely before I opened filler plug. Is that ok? Thx

[@martinsivek9802]

hi, great video. what about to chance o rings on valves?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you! On what valves?

[@martinsivek9802]

the colored cilinders on 3:08 are mechatronic valves. They have rubber O-rings and small strainers. It is usefull to change O-Rings and clean the strainers.

[@wick8447]

Hello sir, I want to do this on a 2004 530i, I believe the tranny fluid has never been changed, should I replace the pan and if so, does the pan come with the filter and o rings?

[@mikes.garage]

Hello, yes you need to replace oil pan as it has build in filter and o-ring. Only some aftermarket oil pans has replaceable filter.

[@Jas_jt]

Some people are saiyng that oil change should make by flushing oil, is this same method or how flushing to be made?

[@mikes.garage]

If you change oil regularly you don’t need to flushing it. To properly flushing oil need to have a special flushing machine. Also need to adapt you transmission after flashing.

[@hibstillidie]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I done this but my 520d took 4 ltrs then I started it for 30 seconds and only took 1 ltr more. I wonder why not the full 7?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! This is could be possible because you have 6HP19 transmission

[@gabrielbless2022]

Hey I also followed the procedure and it only took about 5 liters Were you able to add more oil afterwards ? I have a 530xd lci 235hp Thanks

after draining the oil and start the filling oil process, how do I know when the oil capacity has been reached, how do I know when is enough? Is there a specific amount I have to put in or how that works?

[@mikes.garage]

You need to follow my video instruction. Looks like you didn’t watch it all the way.

[@giovanniortiz1818]

To ensure I’m on target. Based on your experience, how much fluid should be pumped between each fill? 3 liters first fill, 3 liters second fill and then .5 liter for final top off?

[@mikes.garage]

About 4 litres firs and about 3 litres final top off. Sometimes could be less, all together about 6 litres. I filled up about 6,5 litres of oil

Yes, I put new pan and tightening bolts to 9 Nm

[@Locoallinol]

What about electrical plug I have to change or not? I have that in my box with filter pan

[@mikes.garage]

If you want to change that, you need to remove Mechatronics and it should be couple more gaskets to replace. But if no leaking around that plug maybe better don't change it if you not confident to do this kind of work.

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! These transmissions contain from 5 to 7 liters of oil. Let the engine run for 10 minutes, this will be enough to heat it up.

Hi thank you very much for the quick reply So today I took the car to a shop 15 min drive to get there Than kept it off for about 2 hours then out it on a lift check the level again and a thin steady stream came out it was at 54 c° degrees Is 54 degrees ok to measure the fluid level ?
