N52s run hot. I switched to 5W40 and it helps with ticking and will protect the engine a bit more if its running hot.

Greatest oil change vid for e90 on RU-vid my man. Good stuff. Very detailed informative.

@InlineSixAuto Год назад

Thanks!

@brianplum1825 3 года назад

The N52 engine is extremely reliable. I have one at about 265K miles. It consumes 1qt of oil per 8K miles. I do my oil change every 10K miles with 0W-40 Mobil 1 since 100K miles ago. When I removed the valve cover recently to replace the gasket, I saw the engine had no oil sludge and very little wear.

Oil pan gasket is a hell of a job, i got quoted 900$ CAD to do mine. I usually DIY everything but doing the gasket is so much work, dropping the subframe, etc, on top of that xdrive makes it more work too.

You’re 0.5 Quarts low on oil, should always be at max. The space between Max & Min is 1 qt and considering you’re leaking oil id def wanna be sitting @ max

@InlineSixAuto 3 года назад

It’s been leaking since my last three oil changes and it never got too low. I have extra oil anyway if it does happen to get too low at some point. But thanks for mentioning that, I didn’t know min and max was 1 quart.

@InlineSixAuto 3 года назад

@@user-ie4kp7ni9d Its leaking on the passenger side of oil pan. I haven't fixed because my car is AWD so the drive axle goes right the oil pan so changing the oil pan gasket would be a monumental task since the entire font subframe would be need to be disassembled and would cost around $4,000 just to replace the gasket.

For an oil change, I've been using a couple of car ramps to elevate the car. It's much easier to drive the front wheels onto the ramps and save the hassle of jacking up the car.

@kenheintz4249 Месяц назад

@nikkoarnado6521 3 года назад

Last time I changed my oil I used the exact same you used here. There was a noticeable difference in how smooth my car ran. Think this Liqui-Moly 5W-30 is the best for our e90s. Have you heard of Fumoto? I highly highly recommend installing one in each of your cars. Makes oil changes a breeze and a joy. For my 2011 328i Sedan I used the Fumoto F109N with the Fumoto ADP-109SX adapter/extension. By the way, I also bought some Race Ramps for even easier oil changes. If you're interested, I can recommend the ones I got for lowered cars.

@InlineSixAuto 2 года назад

You can recycle it by taking it to a hazardous waste center or you can take it to AutoZone or PepBoys since they take and recycle used oil which would be the easier thing to do.

@Takiscertified 2 года назад

Yo hallen, I just picked up a e90 myself 2008 328i w/ 130k miles. I plan on tackling the oil change myself but since I’m new to bmw’s I’m not to sure with the oil I got. I did pick up liqui moly 5w-30 (socal located) but I got the longtime high tec one. I just want to know if that one is a good one to pickup since the one you have in the video is special tec and there is also top tec. Love the car btw!

You can get oil change kits for free from FCP Euro because of their lifetime replacement policy. Sounds strange but I swear I'm not lying

@InlineSixAuto 2 года назад

How does it work?

@ChazLakinger 2 года назад

@@InlineSixAuto you have to order the exact same kit that you bought last time and then after you change your oil you send them back the old oil in the containers and they refund the purchase. You still have to pay to ship it back to them, but it only costs like $20. I have heard of people getting free return shipping through PayPal but I haven't tried that yet. Hard to beat an oil change for $20 though Edit: also note that if your car burns or leaks oil, they only refund the amount that you send back. So if you only send 6 liters back, you only get refunded for those 6 liters instead of all 7

@camposjesus3725 3 года назад

Why dont you top it off to the Max line? It's half way full the way you have it.

@InlineSixAuto 3 года назад

It's not half way full. The min and max represents the last quart/liter oil so it would mean 0.5 quarts away from max. I put in exactly 7 quarts which is the max amount the engine needs. I just rather go off the actual number I put in than the sensor since it isn't always accurate. Regardless, its fine as long as its in between min and max

@camposjesus3725 3 года назад

@@InlineSixAuto okay but you have a LEAK though. I'd rather be sitting right at the rim. I guess you could always just top it off once it lowers but still.

@camposjesus3725 3 года назад

@@InlineSixAuto yeah i mean as long as you aren't leaving puddles or getting the low oil warning on your idrive, an oil pan gasket can be put off. Mine is seeping right now but it's a slow leak as well. I tend to have my oil fully topped off just as a way to counter the leak in the meantime.

@victorgomez1525 3 года назад

Bro you have one of the cleanest 328i love the build!!!! Quick question my 328i is making a whining noise everytime I stop or slow down and it idles rough do you have any clue of what it could be?

@InlineSixAuto 3 года назад

Is the whining noise coming from the engine? As for the rough idle, that could be a so many things lol. Have you gotten any ‘service engine soon’ light? The only way to really narrow down the cause is to check codes if your ‘check engine’ or ‘service engine soon’ light comes. If they don’t then youd really just have to wait till they do come on. That’s the annoying thing about these cars.

@brianplum1825 3 года назад

There're many possible causes for these symptoms. The noise and rough idle might even be two separate issues. The whining noise may be there all the time and you don't hear it when the car is driven at high speed. Rough idle is probably related to something wrong in the combustion process (air/fuel mixture or ignition timing). Start with MAF sensor, spark plugs, oxygen sensor, vacuum leak, etc. A scan tool will help a lot. I use a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter connected to my smartphone app to monitor live data during driving. If you really want in-depth diagnostic info, search BMW Internet forums to see how folks use the BMW INPA or Rheingold software to scan the car.

@TheBoulKash 3 года назад

Check your transmission fluid levels. Sounds crazy, I know, but check that. Also check spark plugs and coil packs. Check mass airflow sensor. Check hoses and engine oil levels. Coolant and those hoses. Whining? Check serp belt and pulleys. Check alternator. That's all I can think of right now. Oh and power steering fluid/pump/reservoir Honestly, I feel like an easy an cheap way to find out anything is to take it to the dealer for one of those $98 oil changes...I say that because they give your car a checkup and tell you what they found. When I had my e46...and now with my e90. The e46 wasn't worth fixing(only paid $300 for it and definitely got what I paid for😂) but my e90 needed a serp belt, new tensioner radiator, oil filter housing gasket and front struts. BMW quoted me $10k for everything... I did the radiator, tensioner and belt myself for under $200 that's with the oil filter housing gasket in the order as well. Next is the struts and transmission pan.
