Excellent video.
+fred scholl thanks 🙏
I know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Lionel Ezequiel instablaster ;)
@Isaac Harold Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Isaac Harold It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Hello. Just wanted to say this is still a very relevant and helpful video that worked for my 2015 BMW X1. 🙏 Thank u very much!!!
+Carmel Indiana that’s awesome! Glad it helped. Hope you liked and subscribed as well 😉
Thanks for posting - Just successfully did my first oil change myself on mine. Great video in hindsight. Next I will be doing brakes with your brake pad video :) Cheers!
+Kate Jansen hey that’s awesome! I really love hearing that 😁🙏
Dude thanks bought my daughter an X1 and was able to reset oil light based off this video
+Calvin Thigpen excellent!
Really deserves more views and subscribers
+Nikhil B thanks so much 🙏
Thanks, no one could get my car to reset the vehicle info and this did the trick!!
+shirlgirl sweet! 🍻
Thank you very much, they way you explained things was very clear!!
+@jc-kn5bq you’re welcome 🍻
Perfect video. I just finished oil change on my bmw x1. Everything went smooth. Only thing to note is drain plug will open with 17mm socket. I didn't have that. So had to run and get that in the middle of oil change. Secondly, after poring 5qts oil, the console doesn't show the oil level till max but half of that. I guess It will take some time before oil heats up and corrects itself.
Glad it helped! Hope you subscribe for me :)
Un remerciement de l'Algérie pour cette belle vidéo. Bravo
+Abdelkrim Benghanem merci! 🍻
Excellent. Simple and useful!
+Kris Harry thank you! Glad it helped!!
Tanks for the video. Well done!
You're welcome and thanks!
So sorry, your vid is excellent! Oddly there is a variant for the X1 2015 that has a plastic T10 Torx bit drain plug. Saw it on another RUclips. Your did not have this. Will be assisting coaching a young man with his first oil change. Instructing him to get under the car and lower the access to see which drain plug the car has... Your other vid helped with wheel speed sensor issue on F22 and is brilliant. Many thanks!!
+MP you’re welcome! 🍻
So helpful!!! Thank you!!!
+L E that’s great. You’re welcome!
Good job, man !
Not Every man is able to do such a dirt-free, step by step guide tutorial...!
And, if you ask me if It really takes all these annoying steps, well....YES, IT DOES !
+cookaboorra haha thanks! 🍻
Nice vid I had a different drain plug, has a hex head and plastic. I have a good leak and if anyone else has dealt with this please enlighten me. User a brand new drain plug exact match compared when replaced. My thought, go back to old fashion metal and crusher drain plug.
Excellente vidéo merci.
+Abdelkrim Benghanem thanks! 🍻
Great video! Gonna save myself some money doing it myself as I used to do on my other cars!
+fafan22 absolutely!
The best oil change video as of sep 2022:)
Subscribed.
Pro&cons question: lots of website, recommends 0W-20 for E84, replacing the factory recommended 5W-30. Do you agree?
+G Y thanks! Maybe if you live in a cold weather climate, but overall I don’t think it will matter
good vid, the details on the exact oil filter (show the box) and the size socket needed (show the socket) would be useful to prepare
+MP I did. 1:02 time of the video. Look at the description for a link to the filter.
Can you please do a tutorial for bmw x1 N46B20 of replacing engine air filter
+Hussein Aliraqy yes, next time it needs replacing I’ll be sure to make a DIY. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hello,
Thank you for this excellent video it is really clear. Please i have one Bmw X1 xdrive 20i year 2012, when you replace the oil filter in the same moment that oil, what can be the correct number of liter can you have used? I have don’t understand correctly this part of your video. How can be sure to put the correct quantity of oil ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
+@user-ik9cf5km7y you’re welcome!
Just google your model year for engine oil capacity and fill to the specifications and measure.
@@HelpMeDIY thanks👍
Danke schön 👍
😁
EXCELLENT
+MOPARLIFE345 thanks! 🍻
Great tutorial! Is this the dealer recommended oil?
Thanks! Depends on the dealer lol. But you can never go wrong with Mobile 1!
I have the same one from 2013 that I just bought and for question there is no manual oil dipstick in the hood. thanks
+Hobi Ramaherijaona 🍻
Do you have a reference for the amount of oil the 2014 x1 xdrive28i takes? You said 6.1 qts. I don't see it listed in the owners manual? I am used to Infiniti where this information is not hard to find lol.
+brian flanagan yes it’s usually harder to find than it should be! I find google usually gets it for me though. Probably where I got that info.
You're using mobile 1 full synthetic instead of the mobile 1 euro spec synthetic? I use liqui molly special tec for any German car I own, I'd also recommend liqui Molly mos2 additive every oil change
Yes. Everyone has an opinion on oil. Mine is they all work as long as you change it regularly. For example, we sold that car before changing it again so it definitely didn’t matter 😆
Can you leave the old o-rings on if they're still good?
You CAN, but it’s recommended to replace them.
Hey is this the same process for a 2014 BMW X1 Sdrive28i?
+JN5 never had one so I can’t say for sure, but I bet it’s very similar if not exactly
How's it held up over 125k miles? Any major issues come up?
+Albert Interian really really well! Zero major issues. Knock on wood!
How many miles does it have ?
Have you always used 5w-30 ?
+Rafael Magura 125,000. Yes 5W-30 has always been used
how about bmw x1 2013 year it has a plastic drain plug do i have to change the oring in that plastic drain plug everytime i change oil? thanks
+Ramon Quijano For your car the filter is the same - it just has a plastic plug in the kit instead of crush washer. Here is the part number - 11427640862.
how about the oil drain plug cover made of plastic and it has o-ring too. Do i have to change that o-ring?
+Ramon Quijano look up the kit I told you about. It comes with an entire plastic plug + o-ring
@@HelpMeDIY yeah i looked at my kit and it has big and a small o-rings for the the oil filter and a brass washer. There is none for the plastic drain plug.
+Ramon Quijano you bought the wrong kit
How tight does the oil filter need to be screwed back on, is it potentially something I could 3-D printA tool for to save some cash?
+MIKE should be 25 Nm I believe.
@@HelpMeDIY Ha i appreciate the reply, but i have calipers and own the vehicle. I was more wondering about whether i would be able to tighten cap enough to get a good seal on the o rings. metal tooling seems like overkill on what looks like a plastic cap/housing. By your reply I assume you think it'd be fine.
@@LightSpinAngler probably be fine, but I don’t know a lot about 3D printing and the strength.
Is 5w-30 ok for x1 e84 20d ? It's 2011 make.
+Bollywood Guideline should be fine.
Super Good Video! I am thinking to buy a BMW X1 2014 28i XDrive. Would you recomend the car? Is the car reliable? Thank you very much!!
Federico
+Federico Caro thank you! Yeah it’s a great little car.
Is it gasoline or diesel one...?
+Ahmad Silmarillion gasoline
How many miles do you wait to change your oil? It looked a little over used.
+Gabriel Kidder 5000 miles. But bought it used so who knows how many miles since it had been changed before this.
I was looking at one and the fax on it said 16,000 on the last change and that was an instant no, no. It looks like you got a good one though.
@@gabrielkidder8112 😂 don’t blame you!
Gonna keep looking, have a good one.
I wanted to change oil for a 2011 X1, now I just realized I dont have the tools.
+Muhura Dedan there are very few required so you could always buy them, or at least you know now before you started!
very different from the f 48
