Hey man this video is awesome, thank you

First time doing an oil change myself, cheers for the tutorial mate!

Thanks mate

loving that 'pit'

Thank you very much...

Hello, could you please specify the part number of the socket for unscrewing the oil filter? Nice video - helped a lot!

Very nice, thanks!

I live in germany and I have the F20 116i and I don't have anything hanging in the engine area that says what oil was filled in before I bought the car 6 months ago. I just purchased 5W30 oil from castrol as I knew from other persons that I can use it too.

güzel video Türkiye den tesekkurler😊

how do you change a oil vanos salonoid on a f20 118i 2012 model

Your videos are amazing, they helped me through knowing my first bmw, exactly the same with a slightly different N47 engine. thanks Matt. My question to you is if you are planning on making a short summary video of your knowledge about the timing chain problem, and if there is a way to know if it might fail as it seems very expensive to replace and now I fear I will have to get mine replaced, they said it is making a noise, which could cost >£1000 to replace and >£4000 if it fails. This has me worried and am now even considering selling the car. Thanks Matt, any thoughts?

When it comes to oil filters, Just go for a MANN filter, they are the OEM supplier AFAIK, Best filters you can get. And cheaper than BMW Genuine.

Hi Matt, do you replaced coolant liquid?

Hi Matts, great video, thank you. One question though, is it correct to first drain old oil, then change the oil filter and then fill it with a new oil? Thank you

What oil should I use in Europe for this engine?

Hi Matts, when are you going to do the replacement of the spark plugs if you have can you please tell me which video it is, thanks in advance

Do u have a video on how to replace top cover gasket bwm f20 n13 engine

Great video, mate. I was suprised to hear such great english and saw Russian license plate. It seems that you are living in Russia, but Russian is not your native language? Do you speak Russian? Thank you.

Hi matts It's Mahdi here from Australia I drive a 118i 2013 f20 1 series . The water expansion tank cracked right where is the screw air bleeding is .So ,I never rich my car,always goes to the work shop .But this time I felt to challenge my self and I replaced the water expansion tank my self .Right,I have 2 question !! 1_ Do I need to drain the old coolant ? 2_ Does the hoses need to be replaced at the same time as the water expansion tank been replaced ? Best Regards Mahdi

Отличная инструкция! У Вас очень хороший английский, мне было интересно смотреть и слушать. У меня точно такая же головка на 36мм для съема масляного фильтра. Если углубиться в форумы, то Кастрол не особо то и хвалят для наших моторов. Как часто Вы меняете масло ?

Hi Matt! And greetings from Finland. I used shell helix 5w 30 at the beginning but after schmiedmann (shop here in Finland that claims to be specialist in BMW) suggested to change over 0w 30, I switched to that, (castrol edge fst ti 0w30 c3). It had something to do with cylinder wall (if its right word) wear during cold start with this specific engine. After that, oil consumption dropped like 50%!! Mine has 152k/km on it and I get them changed + oil and air filter every 10k. Your videos has been huge help in operations ive done myself. Im not sure from the video but is the drain plug at the rear or front end of oil pan? I'm planning to start changing oil myself on ramps and car would be tilted rear down so would be better if its on rear end if i saw right. Thats why im asking, thanks in advance :)

Hi Matt, is normal that oil temp. Gets to 120* ? Have same bmw 1.6 turbo. Looking forward

In South Africa BMW recommend 5w30

Who's idea was it to put a oil filter next to a turbo?

5w40... South Africa

So the engine is a fucking renault like MB? I am sticking to VW. They make true german engines. What is happening??
