BMW N52/N53 How To Change Oil Filter & Oil...... BEWARE This Part Will Kill Your N52 ENGINE !!!!! 

Glad I could help!

I got my 128 this year too.. amazing engine!

Yes mate I’m fully aware of that and I usually clip it back on to the cap BUT , it does not hold together as soon as I spin the cap it’s back off again so there is no point even trying to clip it back on I will be getting a new one next time from bmw as it needs to be replaced But I’m fully aware that it needs to clip on only if it would hold in place

yep like many many people are still missing this peace thats why I did this video and I will continue to mention it to make people aware of this peace as others are coming to the channel daily and I want them to check for this

No problem mate this is why I done this video and will keep mentioning this so people are aware of this as this is a big big big problem everywhere and garages don’t even realise there self How big of a thing that filter is !!!

No problem mate and yep that’s the cause you know when the oil is broken then the ticking starts

@@BMWDoctor just bought my e90 in february with 17,000kms. only issue was the idle and tick which is gone now that i did the proper oil change like you showed ;) going to update the modules like you showed in other videos too Doc cheers

yes it indeed would but Ive already resealed my one lol maybe if I get another N52 then I will do that I dont really mind as its not hard to do

@@BMWDoctor 🤣 you could always travel up north and video it on mine, joking aside you've helped me loads already 👌👍

thats good to know mate and im glad im helping you guys

thats it mate lovely jubbly

Cheers mate

thats the way it goes mate no nonsense here mate

Same here! :)

I am lance mate been ill for days but still pushing and rolling mate wont stop you guys depend on me to save your cars and its what I do

lol mate I usually use shell buy thought why not go for a change and this oil worked pretty f****cking well I might add lol

Man kevin every year mate i would still change it every 3 months even if I didn’t use it much mate it’s cheap maintenance and always keeps the engine running perfect

@@BMWDoctor No I do it twice a year. but true

Why bypass the filter element?

No problem

No problem 👍

you got that right bro lynn mate you can use some of this stuff

no problem mate glad you watched mate

mate to be honest I dont rate liqui moly products much if im honest I only trust forte but then I was using it in the trade

Sell it to me please mate will give you 5k for it

thats not serious dont even worry only worry about that if your taking engine out if not just leave it they all leak

@@BMWDoctor see I can accept that coming from you! the guy i let do my oil pan gasket assured me that I will face total failure if I continued to drive so I literally been afraid to enjoy my car! Thank you for the Reply!!

rghant your welcome mate listen to me bro get RID of the guy who’s doing your servicing reason he’s telling you this as it’s a intense job gearbox has to be dropped to do this job which means big big hours spent for a tiny little deal which then means big big money for them to charge you and then guess what when they put your gearbox back it will then have more problems and then leak again anyway it’s a common issue mine has been leaking since 100k and guess what it still leaks and I have no issues mate don’t even worry about it every n52 in the country will have it leaking and people don’t even notice so do not care about what they tell you mate

man its only scratches and a oil filler cap I look to just buy a new one when I change it next its only £30 for one from BMW so nothing I'm concerned about

And third, why not torque the oil filter housing?

it doesn't come separately mate it comes as one piece with the filter cap itself

BMW Doctor ahh sweet thank you 🙏🏾

@@BMWDoctor Know where I could buy the part? My Vanos filter is missing too

@@XboxLil FCPeuro is my go-to. Make sure to give the site your make and model and search up an oil filter housing cap

That depends on you what do you prefer

Same process only differences on the engines are the emissions ig

I think its condensation, try taking it for a long drive

Yes I have mate great stuff and great great results just wish I could source it here easy enough

BMW Doctor I use 5w-40 in my E90, & it’s pretty good Dean

Andy Cenatus amsoil does not have BMW approval, but the company says their european formula oil is recommended for all european cars, including BMW. I’ve never used amsoil, but I’ve used Redline 5w30 (which did not have BMW approval then, but many people on BMW forums swear by it) before, and the car DOES NOT like it. It kept throwing the oil level sensor error code. You can clear it, but it will come back. Then I changed to a BMW LL01 approved oil for the next oil change, and the error code disappeared completely. I’d just stick with BMW LL01 or LL04 oil.

Just type in your registration it will come up

Lol I laughed at that too

Oh mate what’s going on bro long time no see bro, I wondered what happened to you, how you been bro and how comes the name change.

@@BMWDoctor Busy, busy, busy mate. Started doing some work on the E38 and started learning filming, editing and uploading, it is not easy. You know how it is yourself. I am very happy to see your progress mate. You deserve it as you work so hard. Need to give you a call for a chat some day but not sure if you still have the same number?

Nah mate my number has changed mate I will send you my number on email mate send me another email bro as I have had so many emails since you contacted me I don’t even know where to find you 🤣 Yes mate grown aint the word 4.5k in a month in subs in unbelievable I didn’t think I would do that I have been working my a**e off for the last year to get where I am now bro

@@BMWDoctor Great success mate. It just shows you that when you put in the work you get the reward back. Will email you with my number mate

The Keen Mechanic I problem vladi mate, and yes it does show I’m gonna get that 100k by next November as I want that play button and I won’t stop till I get it mate hard work pays off

It’s better for high mileage BMW’s anyone would tell you that the reason for this is simple : as you know bmw piston rings don’t seal well over the lifetime that is due to heat from these engines running very very hot for emissions purposes and what happens as the years get on the seals begin to weaken and gaskets causing leaks you can fix all of them BUT they will spring open once again , 5w30 for high mileage cars will burn off to quick and also it doesn’t give the engine full protection considering the mileage 5w30 is for quick warm ups including low mileage cars but as the years go on mileage goes up and these cars tend to wear with the internals so it’s better to use 5w40 on a older car and give it the correct oil for the mileage any cars under 100k I wouldn’t reccomend using but for my purposes I have used it since day one and have had no issues only better issues then it had before I got it

Hi mate my e60 2006 only has 81 thousand miles should I use 5w40 on my next oil change cheers

BMW Doctor Okay. That’s why my oil was always dirty. I had to change it every 2k miles.
