Don't Make The Same Mistakes I Did! How To Change Oil In Your INEOS Grenadier 

Thanks for the video. This is a perfect example of why RU-vid is terrific…good people like you providing great information. Hats off to you.

awesome video. I just changed the oil in mine using this video and it was very easy thanks to you

Keep that cap for oil in the hole but crack open. It is unsafe moving tools around that open hole. Imagine if socket will drop there or something. Keep it safe 😂. Good tutorial. Thank you

I just finished the first oil change on my Trialmaster. Pretty stress free thanks to your video. I put back in exactly 7 liters and the computer says OK. I’ll check it again after driving it a few more miles. Ordered the eighth liter as you recommended, just in case.

Nice video. Since the vehicle is so wide and you have to do a bunch of leaning a stretching against the fenders, you might want to pick up a cheap moving blanket to drape over the sides so your shirt buttons and belt buckle don't scratch up your paint job.

Good job. I'm going to change mine early. We're not allowed wing protectors in Europe including here in the UK, but I'm going to fit them, although I'd prefer not to source from ebay. All to do with pedestrian protection.

From a uk mechanic I can confirm this oil filter is about a 4 out of 10. Those who know, It's normal for European vehicles to put routine service components in awful places, mainly because our vehicles are smaller and manufacturers use the same engine across many different models and most don't relocate the oil filter housing despite this being easy to do. I like the grenadier idea. But I thought the whole purpose of it was farmers can maintain the whole thing with absolute ease. If I showed any farmer this they would scoff at the very least. I myself know full well it's normal awkwardness, infact there are more awkward cars, there are also a lot sensibly in your face when you open the bonnet. Even mechanics want ease. If I had a grenadier I would set myself a little project and be machining something and getting it remote right in your face. Especially as I maintain my vehicles more often than the recommended intervals, which are set in favour of strict European manufacturer oil pollutant legislation & 3 year service costs and certainly not in favour of your engine longevity lasting over 5 years. Have bmw fixed the B58 oil pump issues from c2020 or playing ignorance as usual?

Well done. I need to go back an catch your new vehicle experience from the beginning.

Well done for showing that and the information which goes with it. No dipstick? Seriously?!? All car manufacturers have a habit of making things really awkward to get to, probably to stop people like you and me from getting to them, although European ones are generally worst than most. I'm amazed that the starter motor is so easy. The last one I did on a Vauxhall involved removing the front wheel, putting several extension bars together, so it was about four feet long and trying to get to a 13mm bolt that was impossible to get to, without removing the cylinder head... I do miss old cars with small engines in big engine bays. And to think I used to complain. 😂

Great info here for Grenadier owners.

Great video. I think it's smart to do the oil change yourself so you get to know your vehicle (e.g. the additional oil at the end). Also, I like that you pointed out the transmission oil plug...because...I may or may not have drained transmission fluid the first time I changed oil myself when I was a teenager. My famous quote from that experience: "Why is the engine oil red???" Keep up the GREAT content!

This is fantastic!!! Thanks for you efforts and do consider making future videos on other maintenance how-to's like changing the air-filter, transmission oil, diff oil....etc). 👍

Consider adding a quart of new oil after draining to help remove/flush as much old oil as possible. Then add the drain plug and fill with fresh motor oil. Further, along with removing the oil cap, you can also unscrew the oil filter, but not remove yet (before removing the oil drain plug), to assist in oil flow out the oil drain. This will also allow the old filter to drain before removing and not drip oil on the engine.

BMW engines are notorious for having multiple major plastic components that perish and get brittle with age and heat. Not at all simple or cheap to maintain and repair long term. Some of the plastic is obvious. Another issue, which I think has been carried over to the current model, is that the oil is routed through the alternator mounting bracket and it has a cheap gasket that again hardens and cracks with age and gets to leak. Lots of plastic coolant and fuel lines and vacuum lines and adapters as well. All great when new but five or ten years later they test one’s patience.

This is a very comprehensive guide! thank you. There has been a lot of talk on the forums about using different weight oils so I am a little undecided. I want to use a ll-04 0w-30 but it looks like there is nothing wrong with using the 0w20 from oil analysis I have seen.

Really well done and clear video. Very useful. Great plug for the Grenadier forum which is an invaluable resource. Thank you.

Absolutely enjoy your channel! I only found it today after looking at tons of the same Ineos channels with the same worthless content. I have owned at least six Jeeps over the years and have been considering the Ineos Grenadier Trial Master. My only worry is that I'll get in nowhere Moab, which will break down with no parts available. Your Baha trip put me at ease on that point.

nice car ineos grenadiers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙👍👍👍👍👍👍

It is a 7 liters .. this is the 2nd time I change it ..

I would have thought the grenadier would do a topside oil change because of the topside filter on the b58. I wonder if someone will make a custom tool for that filter location.

Please be careful with bare socket wrench handles as the starter motor terminals are LIVE and the sump plug is earth .

That looks slightly easier to do than my defender. I have to remove 3 heavy skid plates to access the drain plug

Can you drop the name of which Grenadier forum you you referred to please. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for sharing. This engine has plastic valve covers?! And no physical dipstick?! Oy!

My oil filter cap/carrier was incredibly hard to free up and remained that hard to remove until it was all the way off. I don't know if it was cross threaded from the factory but it was very tight. Was yours easier?

How did you reset the oil interval?

I’m curious as to why your changing the oil at 1100 miles?

Ridiculous spot for the oil filter housing. Obviously the BMW and Ineos engineers didn’t fully communicate on that one.

Done with minimal swearing! 😃

Yeah my 340i was a lot easier to access

Why are you killing your self trying to stretch to the oil filter housing,,,,Use another extension on the wrench,,

great info - glad I won't be buying one of these!!

WTF kind of engineering is this?
