    In this video, we show how to change the oil on a BMW F10 535i xDrive with the N55 engine. The DIY will be very similar on most BMW's with the N55 engine. The job is very easy and requires only a few tools. The N55 is found in many BMW's including the 135i, 335i, and 535i. The oil service kits and tools can be found on our website using the links posted above.
    Thanks for watching our DIY and as always, subscribe for more helpful videos for your European cars!

    Why pay someone for an oil change when it's this easy? Thanks for watching!

    Personally, I'd recommend against the ECS magnetic drain plug. Mine sheared off in the oil pan on my third oil change. Had an IPD magnetic drain plug in my Volvo for 17 years - never had a problem.

    How do you reset the oil life on the idrive system?

  • @stephencannon3140
    @stephencannon3140 Před 3 lety

    There seems to be a common denominator of the modern cartridge type oil filters which will take some getting used to especially after years of the spin on filters wheee the oil pan was drained first and filter was removed while oil was draining.
    Note how he removed the filter first. The logic is that loosening the filter housing allows more of the old oil to drain out of the filter housing. This step has been noticed when watching Y/T videos for other vehicles.

  • @stephencannon3140
    @stephencannon3140 Před 3 lety

    The billet oil filter housing caps.....inwould be interested in finding out if you sell the billet aluminum caps for other vehicles......That could be a lucrative market if you can get the design, r/d, and any manufacturers copy right issues sorted out. The plastic housings I can already see are cheap and subject to either breaking or worse hair line crack that may not be so obvious until you get the oil leak and either burning off against the metal of the block or as a severe case total oil loss.
    I will check their website, thanks!

    I do not use gloves, those mechanic gloves suck if the they get soaked in fluids. Rather have latex gloves. All about touch and feel boys and girls. I have never someone torque a drain bolt to spec though, that was fancy. Most people do over torque and strip it out! Glad it was by the book so to speak

    • @pocketaces777
      @pocketaces777 Před 3 lety

      Took me almost 3 hours for my first time.. then it gets better or faster over time. Just make sure you buy the OEM gaskets and make sure there's no crazy oil drips on your serpentine belt and pulleys. I had to replace all those together w the oil filter housing gasket.

    • @pocketaces777

      And you'll need E torx sockets and a thin wall socket for one of the annoying short bolts on the oil filter housin.

    @howardkim8759 Před 6 lety

    hello~... I am a 520d f10 2010 version (although I bought it on year 2011 new) owner driver from S. Korea.
    I have a question in regards to self battery replacement for my bimmer. I know this much, even if I replace the battery... until I register it as a new batter, the system will still regard it as the old battery ( currently I've been having battery replacement warning light for almost 2 years) and I won't be getting rid of this alert sign on my dash board.
    But either way, if I still want to go through with replacing my battery even with this issue, do I need to have my charger connected
    on the front bonnet of the car while replacing the battery at the back trunk? I remember someone telling me if I try to exchange battery without this procedure will result in total power out from the car which then would mess up the whole system program and will end up causing me to pay huge amount at the certified BMW A/S center for restoration. Is that the case?

    • @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261
      @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Před 5 lety

      25 Newton meters is the amount of twisting force you apply. You measure that with a torque wrench. Cheap ones are sold at auto parts stores and they're usually not that bad, and Harbor Freight has some for < $15 that somehow are pretty good.
      You set the setting on the torque wrench, and put the correct size socket on your torque wrench, then tighten the drain plug or filter cap until your torque wrench clicks.
      (If you bought a click-type. Beam type are very old fashioned, very affordable - -and very reliable. You just stare at the needle-arm on those.)
      Other than getting the offical factory tightness, the other thing a torque wrench does for you is teach you that you really don't need to put that much muscle into tightening most things.

    I just installed your oil filter cap on my F10 N55 just like the one in this video. The stock cage I swapped over clicks in and aligned with the outer tabs but doesn’t sit flush due to the 2 tabs sticking up in the middle. Is this normal? I don’t want dirty oil flowing past my filter.

    • @ecstuning
      @ecstuning  Před 5 lety

      If the plastic cage clipped into the tabs in the cap, you're good! It isn't supposed to seal against the housing; the gap allows for oil flow for the factory bypass valve.
