DIY: BMW M2 Oil, Differential & Manual Transmission Fluid Change 

This comment should be pinned to avoid further misinformation. Per ISTA 45 Nm for both fill and drain plug on rear differential (33 11 5 AZ torque spec) Otherwise great DIY.

ugh i saw this too late

should be PINNED!

Thanks Jim! Appreciate it

Right on! It is a fantastic car

Thanks for the comment

Thanks brother! Appreciate the support

Did I not do that??

I always do that, maybe I didn’t film that for this video. Thanks for the comment!

@@skrrtgarage3922 You did @ 9.15. Great video m8.

Yea priming the oil filter with some fresh oil is never a bad idea

Are you blind? thats what he did,.

That’s awesome! Fabspeed makes the best downpipes for these cars in my opinion. I love mineral grey too

@@skrrtgarage3922 have you heard the crank seal guard? It causes the engine failure because of oil dripping goes to crank hub and slip the belt or something.

no I haven't, thats new to me. Is it affecting multiple cars?

Thanks! Yea I’ve heard redline is a great aftermarket product. Sometimes I hesitate with gear oil but I think that would work out just fine.

I don’t know if you’ve done it but that Redline MT-LV is not the right fluid for this car. This transmission actually takes DCT fluid. The OEM BMW MTF-LT-5 is actually cross referenced by ZF to Pentosin FFL3 which is PDK fluid. The BMW OE fluid is a less good clone of it supplied by Febi Bilstein. The correct Redline fluid for this trans is the DCTF, and yes, it’s a superior fluid to the OEM. Genuine Pentosin FFL3 should be quite good as well.

@@chrisbradley3224 thanks for reply, I went with Fuchs Titan FLL-3 in the end, as I use their 5w30 oil in engine, so kept the same brand for transmission.

More are coming up!

Yea as far as DIY oil change go, this car is very easy. I was surprised that the sump plug area is open all the time though - I would have thought they'd be a removable access hatch for that portion.

I’m not sure, I wouldn’t try to test the limit though.

I noticed only a slight difference to be honest. Mostly because I used the OEM fluid. It may be smoother if you use a different fluid

Right on! Congrats

@@skrrtgarage3922 I’m not worried about depreciation I’m going to keep it I love it 😂 mines a 2017 lci with carbon and performance exhaust I got the long beach blue, I’m still in the honey moon stage with it only had it 3 days 😂

It sounds dope man!

@@skrrtgarage3922 any chance of doing a vid on what all the buttons do and how to set your phone up to the car, I was searching for the fuel cap button yesterday and my wing mirrors rotated in I didn’t know they did that 😂 turns out I just needed to press the fuel cap and it and it popped straight out 🤷🏼‍♂️ Iv never had a bmw so it’s all new to me 😂

I have a lot of videos planned for the bmw! But I’m sure by the time I get them out you’ll have found everything on the car

Yea I didn’t use that much for the transmission either

@@skrrtgarage3922 is this because its a MT and not DCT? I was doing my friends DCT and I think we put about 6 quarts or a little bit more

It’s just the angle hah. No worries!

Correct, 2-3 times before use

Like row the gear while the car its off right?

@@dawtsjohnnn yeah, foot on the clutch the whole time, and go into each gear

@@seollenda thanks bro

It depends on how hard the car is driven, some can last 60-80k miles. If driven hard 30-40k miles is recommended.

That’s what I saw when I looked it up 🤷🏻‍♂️. I thought they were the same trans? Hmm 🤔

look closer...he did it smart.

On which part? The rear differential I only used just about 1 bottle.

@@skrrtgarage3922 so, should I order 1 or 2 litres?

@@TheHunterHofmanyes

Seriously bro, I hate the smell of diff fluid

I change my oil every 4-5k miles 👍🏼

Why wouldn’t it last???

@@funkiershit BMW used to recommend 0w40 for their M cars, since it's a turbo engine, 0w30 would break down much quicker than a 0w40. I beat the crap out of my 18 M2 so i used motul 300v 5w40 and change it every 5k miles.
