BMW E36 DIY on replacing the oil filter housing gasket, vanos oil line, and the oil pressure sensor.
You don't necessarily need to replace all of these parts, however they are easily replaced if you are already replacing the oil filter housing gasket.
Replacement of the oil houing gasket is pretty quick, should take under 2 hours.
Parts needed to remove:
Alternator (2 bolts, 2 wires on the back)
Serpentine Belt (From the tensioner)
Airbox
Disconnect Vanos oil line
Idler Pulley (if applicable)
Tips:
Power steering pump will come off with the filter housing.
Disconnect the battery prior to removing the alternator.
Keep the bolts in order, they are different sizes.
Rub some oil on the new gasket, helps make a good seal.

For anyone watching recently, you can also pull the oil filter and let it sit for a minute and the oil will drain back into the pan so you don't spill as much

I couldn't find an oil leak so I took my z3 (2000, 2.8) to my mechanic and he quoted me at way too much to do this job. He also said that I needed to do a coolant flush at the same time since some might spill out. Do you know why he would say that?

@e36fanatics29 6 лет назад

Honestly no, I didn't need to touch any coolant lines to perform this job. However, Z3's tend to be packed a lot tighter and there may be a coolant line that would need to be removed.

@hunterdepriest2533 6 лет назад

Okay, I'll do my best to check it out. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to flush it out while I'm doing this. Thanks again for the help!
