- In todays video we change the SMG gear oil on the BMW E60 M5, with the help of the scan tool this time.
Part numbers-
Drain plug sealing rings 07119963300 (X 3) - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That is some difference in the oil over 3yrs and not with everyday use. Good to keep on top of these things and prevent wear to the (expensive) gearbox internals/ancillaries. A top tutorial with excellent camera work as usual. 👍
Wow, for reals, dude. Exactly what I thought. I need to do that service on mines asap. Lets get wrenching!
I was really surprised how bad it looked. It’s been about 4 years but I’ve not done a huge amount of Km’s in that time. I guess the SMG brutally quick shifts takes it’s toll on the oil, it definitely looked worn out
Another great useful guide. Many thanks!
Awesome video, brother!
Cheers man, thank you for checking out the video
As always Guy a fantastic video straight forward instructions step by step we cannot go wrong keep up with you great work and vids ...❤💯👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cheers Steve, thanks for checking out the video! 👍
Totally awesome job explaining and videotaping - Did this job myself without the scan tool, but thanks to you will have the confidence next time to use my scan tool to do this job properly - :)
Cheers Paul, I prefer doing the job with the scan tool
Great video, you should get more views!
Cheers man, thanks for checking out the video 👍
I had to replace all the hardware holding my undertrays on my M5 due to corrosion, it still shocks me that high end cars like these still had corners cut.
Even your exhaust bolts are like new.
Maybe i need a better climate also.
A trick i use when flushing the smg fluid is to let the waste settle in a long container (the sedement goes to the bottom, pour the fluid into another container so you only get the cleaner fluid and then use this to flush the smg again, you will be shocked how much still comes out black, you can repeat this a few times untill the fluid comes out clean then use the new bought fluid.
keep up the great videos tho and thanks for making them.
I need to replace my under tray hardware, a few of the fasteners are missing anyhow
I am really fascinated by your videos and guides, hope this channel lives on forever!
Any tips for preventative maintenance on a recently purchased 2009 e63 M6? The car has 53K kilometres with clean OM maintenance? I am only doing a battery swap and thermostat (error cane up on scanner)
Thanks man, glad you like the videos. Congrats on the M6 purchase! Getting the thermostat done is a good start, I made a video preventative maintenance items a while ago, check it out- czcams.com/video/drLb1MK_Shk/video.html
Awesome video….I was curious on if you are planning to make a video on o2 sensor replacement? Currently have intermittent codes pertaining to o2 sensors
Cheers Raymond, not at this stage, the ones on my M5 are currently working OK
Hi mate, great vids as per usual, could you post the crush washer part nos so I can order.
Part numbers in the video description
Wish I could do that myself, where did you get the new screws?
No screws where replaced
Great video! I have asked my BMW service advisor a few times about changing out the SMG oil and he recommends strongly to just leave it alone. Normally they are very happy to take my money so it's pretty weird that they don't want to do that job. Anyone know why they are sticking to the "lifetime fill" idea? 2010 car with ~50K miles
There was no official service interval like diff & SMG gear oil. A good service advisor should be able to accomodate something like this though. It would be welcomed at our local dealer. The technicians have the info on what’s required, it’s basically part of the likes of a pump replacement anyhow. Just tell them you want the system depressurised/drained/refilled/bled and the level topped off as required and you’ll pay them for the time & CHF11S fluid
Wait wait you are one of those lucky ownert with a m5 e60 2010? Last year and CIC instead of CCC
What scan tool is that you’re using?
I’ve got Carly (and another more basic code reader).. not sure if Carly will activate the individual pumps on command?

Why didn't you replace the oil pan with filter? Please explain to me because I want to service the gearbox on my Bmw M6
There is no oil pan or filter, it’s essentially a manual gearbox
you can also just open the drivers door and the pump will run for a few seconds as well ..
That’s the SMG hydraulic pump, this is the gear oil cooler pump
I’m changing mines tomorrow! What did you use to clean the Strainer?
Brake cleaner spray
Hello. How are you? Can you please help me about this issue: my M5 car key does not work with the buttons; the car can be started with the key and there is no message on the dashboard about low battery. I did some research and it could be the fuse on the glove compartment or the unit that receives the signal. Is there any provable cause of this malfunction? Thank you for your help and time?
Most likely the key battery has died-

Hi could you tell me is there a difference in gear oil & transmission fluid for the m5 e60 thanks.
The SMG III takes gear oil in the gearbox, and hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic reservoir. I’ve put videos out previously on both procedures
Thanks much appreciated 👍
Mate .. the oil looked pretty dark / dirty how many KMS are on that last fill ?
It caught me by surprise how worn out the oil looked. It’s been about 4 years since I last changed it, and I’ve not done a huge amount of Km’s in that time
