Changing oil and filters on 2009 BMW 530i E60 gen. It´s a pretty easy and strait forward DIY job and no special tools or lift are required. All the tool sizes and torque specs in the video and below.
I used Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 approved by BMW, meeting the BMW LL-04 specs.
Torque specs:
- oil filter cap - 25 Nm
- drain bolt - 25 Nm
Socket sizes:
- 8 mm socket - splash shield
- 17 mm socket - sump plug
- 13 mm socket - cabin filter
This guide works for me. But I´m not a professional, so no guarantee here... Follow this at your own risk.
Especially the engine flush. If you choose to use it, consider the state of your engine. If it has been neglected, it could loosen large chunks of deposits and block oil passages.
If you have any questions or constructive coments, let me know.
Take care.
