@Kreeky621 3 года назад

Good video. Couple of extra steps 1. Open the oil cap when draining old oil from sump 2. Always use a torque wrench both the drain plug and oil filter cap are 25nm 3. It is easier and better to place the new oil filter in the housing using the locating pin on the filter first then screw the cap in.

@leong1163 3 года назад

Thank you for the tips! Investing in a torque wrench now

@leong1163 2 года назад

Hey Paul! You'll find that most cars have pretty much the same way of servicing. I sometimes take a little bit longer with cars and figuring out where the oil filter and drain plug is etc. Usually RU-vid is a great place when you get stuck!

@user-cn1em2qx6f 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the great explanation...i recently took my car for an 'oil change' ...was surprised when i checked the dipstick 2 weeks later that the colour of the oil was black on the dipstick really wondering whether they changed the oil or not...that is why i better learn to do this myself...

@Tinmouser Год назад

Just curious, after you replaced the drain plug on the bottom why didn’t you pre lube the filter and O rings before inserting the filter back in and then fill the oil reservoir I thought this was “good practice” but I could be wrong. Thanks for the video, very informative.

@pduhovic6184 Год назад

Yes, he should have lubed the o ring. It seals better when it's lubed up

@clridekabi3969 2 года назад

At what mileage do you reckon needs to change the gearbox oil. I am driving 116i . Thanks

@leong1163 2 года назад

Hi, normally every 30-60K miles. Depends on the previous driving standards or if it’s been changed previously. Does it suggest in your manual?

@brahimelbadaoui5853 Год назад

How many litter did you put ??

@jawzy 3 года назад

i have a 2005 120d, on micksgarage they said i needed 5w-30 so i got that and put it in today, but euro car parts is saying 5w-40... is this bad? i already put the 5w-30 in

@leong1163 3 года назад

It won’t do any damage to the engine. Have a look at which grade your manual recommends. You can always do another oil change in a few thousand miles or so!

@kirwanjohn101 3 года назад

Will not make any difference if you live in the UK. 5w40 is really only necessary in a very hot climate, so 5w30 is perfectly fine. The manual will give both options to cover different countries and climates. The most inportant thing is that the oil is fully synthetic and low Ash and is bmw approved. You're looking for BMW LL04 standard on the oil. Once you have this it doesn't matter what make of oil you use as it means that the oil has been blended correctly to meet the manufacturers requirements. Hope this was helpful.

@griffonsa Год назад

Where do u jack it up??? Not at the designed point where the jacks should be put???

@YIDARMY08 Год назад

Hi mate might be late but you can jack it from the front - directly. There is a round circle on the under tray toward the back marking the jack point. Make sure you use a good trolley jack as a lot of weight, with a flat surface ideally with the rubber pad to avoid damaging the tray. Once up you can use a jack stand either side on the bmw jacking points. You can get two rubber inserts to rest on the top of the stands for better stability and to avoid damaging the plastic.

Thanks for information. Do you know when to change spark plugs my service says i needs to change but my car is 118i 32000 km and 4 years

@leong1163 2 года назад

Modern spark plugs last longer, I’d say around 60K miles. Keep an eye out for any misfiring 45-60K miles, but I’m sure they will last fine!

I understand. I’d recommend getting a basic one off Amazon, capture the code, and clear the light and seeing if it returns back. You can get one around £30 and return it if you don’t need it. Garages charge upwards of £40-50+ for a basic OBD scan

@mysk8384 3 года назад

Is there anything else you would do but haven’t covered in the video?

@leong1163 3 года назад

Perhaps the fuel filter, brake pads. I guess it depends on whether it's an interim or major service. You can probably find a few more things to do depending on the service history of your car

@harleysquirt4774 3 года назад
