The most detailed and informative video on this subject. Thank you sir.
Thank you
Thank you for the detailed walk through. I have the 528 with the smaller engine so the filter housing looks a bit different but it's giving me an idea on what I'll have to deal with.
very detailed, and very good instructions btw.
Great video. In the process of changing thermostat, water pump, tensioner pulley , oil filter housing gaskets, and new charge pipe. Car just hit 120k miles want to prepare it for another 100
Good luck bro. I sold mine. I have plenty of videos on this car so check it out on f10 playlist
@@HowToDoitright cool man ill check it out
Thanks for showing you are awesome .
My pleasure 😊
Thank you so much !! I have the same problem right now
I started leaking heavy oil in my N55 2 days ago, had to put 3 quarts of oil in and I noticed today another heavy spill. I checked my coolant tank and it has oil in it. I will definitely take it tomorrow for the same repair you demonstrated including the belt as well. I wish I had the skill and tools to do this job myself. I should've done it as soon as I saw the small puddle on top of the filter🙁... Great video
yeah i ignored mine for a while and it damaged the belt (and pulleys which i had to clean). i also identified today that along with this my valve cover gasket is also leaking. i suggest get under the car and see if your leak is getting on top of your exhaust pipe. that indicates a leak on your valve cover also. you can take a flash light and see evidence of oil leaking from sides of valve cover on the passenger side of valve cover. Normally the oil filter housing leak dont make it leak profusely. i can almost gurantee its also your valve cover gasket. have it checked out by the mechanic and have him show you so he isn't lying to make $$.. you can also get the oil filter housing first and monitor the leak and take it back as those are two separate jobs and not related at all.
I will do mine by next week iA and post a video on my channel.
@@HowToDoitright i really appreciate the advise and I will be looking out for that video. So your saying if the oil leak is profuse then its more the valve cover gasket instead of the filter housing?
Yes I lived with my oil filter housing leak for a while because it wasn’t dripping on the ground as it’s so little but didn’t know at that time that the little leak is going all around and damaging my pulleys and belt and since it’s so slow the oil will endup drying on top of your belt that you can see with a flash light and You can even remove the gunk with your nail. It like solidify on too if your belt and pulley. Also it runs down on the front of your engine making it all dirty. That’s another sign.
The valve cover leak normally is a fast leak and it also cause bad burnt smell outside and smoke in some cases. Also you can smell it as it burns on your exhaust.
Today I posted another video on my belt replacement. Watch it. You will have a look at the front of your engine and if yours is as dirty as mine then your oil filter housing is also leaking.
Not so much problem with tools as time. BMW wanted about $5000 for what I am doing.
Wow 5k is crazy
There is some good information on this video but I can't believe you bolted the intake manifold back up without replacing the gasket on it. You can expect headaches somewhere down the road caused by a vacuum leak. The intake manifold should NEVER be loosened without replacing the gasket. Otherwise, good job.
I did infact replace it at a later video. Didn’t do it as I wanted to have a separate video for that. Check out my F10 playlist.
@@HowToDoitright I have always been extremely careful about disturbing intake manifold gaskets because of possible leaks. I have been the auto repair business for a long time but my wife’s 2011 535i is the first BMW I have had the intake off of.
While installing the oil filter adapter I had to take the intake loose. Knowing what I know now I believe I would consider just loosening it to get to the oil adapter bolt. It took me about an hour to get the intake up high enough to get to the gaskets and when I finally did I found the manifold “O” rings to be just as soft as the new ones I have to install, which really surprised me. The car has 67,000 miles. Since I have it where I can get to it I will install new gaskets, but would reconsider it if I had known.
Igor myself in a hornets nest on this one. Valve cover, gasket, oil filter adapter, intake gasket and complete serpentine setup. Fails to notice the car has Dynamic Drive and bought the wrong Serpentine kit.
Thank you, your assistance is much appreciated. My mechanic buggered up the head on the OFH bottom bolt under the
intake manifold. Your guidance about loosening the intake manifold would have precluded this. Was there no need to replace the intake manifold gasket?
I did replace it later on. It’s cheap so good idea to replace it
Thank you, very detailed!
Glad it helped
Don’t forget to prime the engine before you start the car. You will have air trapped in the oil and cause the dreaded Drive Train Malfunction or VANOS codes. Is recommended by BMW every time you open the oil systems valve cover, oil pan, oil filter housing.
How do you prime? I have been changing oils in vehicles for many years but never once I primed any engine. How exactly is it done in bmw and other cars like Lexus Toyota etc
@@HowToDoitright it’s a bulletin that BMW came out with for the N55 engine due to failure after valve cover or oil pan gasket repair. Unplug injectors (put a charger) start engine for 10 sec and rest the starter for 20 sec in between. Do it about 3 times to allow oil to flow and trapped air to escape.

@@HowToDoitright so far just BMW N55 but BMW recommends on all as good practices. I sent you the bulletin. Keep posting you did a great step by step video
Thanks for the great DIY! One question, Did you drain out all your oil from the oil pan before starting the disassembly or only from the oil filter?
RiskyRicky_F10 no i did not remove it from oil pan. Only the oil filter. I’ll do another oil change after 5K
It is advised to drain the oil AFTER the repair because water can get in the oil.
Yeah cheap insurance
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
about to help a friend with this. maybe i scrubbed past the part where you talked about this but do you need to drain the AC beforehand? not super familiar with BMW but those lines you unplugged on top were for the AC correct?
No Sir that’s not AC lines. That’s coolant line but I didn’t drain my coolant. Some will come out but that’s ok. Drain it if you want to drain your coolant otherwise not needed.
Definitely change oil though. Your oil may be muddy as its possible coolant is mixing with oil as it flows through oil filter housing however oil doesn’t go into coolant.
Is there an adapter for those cooler lines bought after market kit or the sizes
Not sure
Did you have to do priming procedure for this N55?
Yes it’s on my channel. Checkout the f10 playlist. I showed it in detail.
BMW oil cooling methods cause more problems than they fix. BMW engineers, why not run the oil through an oil cooler vs this contraption on most beemers. I just had to replace my today what a pain in the arse.
Agree
I have a 2013 535i. I removed 2 bolts and 4 nuts from the intake manifold and it won't budge. What am I missing?
another nut in very rear of intake manifold underneath harnesses
@@kr0n0gaming4
Thanks a lot. I will give it another go on my next oil change.
Is there certain torques I have to use for any part of the reinstallation?
17 NM torque on intake manifold bolts. other than that, no
Green coolant?
Yes all BMW has green coolant
Did you have to flush the coolant?
I just had the job done where they replace the oil filter, housing gasket and the belt tensioner right below it and the next day the car is over heating !
Always must flush coolant. If your oil filter housing gasket is bad then it means coolant is being mixed with oil
@@HowToDoitright I took it back to them yesterday they checked everything over the vehicle is not overheating. I guess they did not flush the coolant said it was not necessary
I should say they only did the oil filter housing gasket
And the oil cooler gasket
@@mk3mo578 I would still flush it out to be on the safe side
It it overheated once then it will overheat again.
Where’d you purchase this belt from? I can’t find it anywhere!
eBay or dealer
how much does a job like this generally cost. My local mechanic is charging 611 for it.
About right it’s about 4 hours of labor
Why do you remove the intake manifold for?
I was trying to find a vacuum leak
Also you have to lift it a little bit to get access to one bolt
Do you have to drain oil before taking it off?
No but I suggest drain the oil and then do the job and put new oil. Remember to prime the oil. I have a video on how to prime on this channel.
When I took off the cap it drained. I needed to get to my alternator.Ok ill need to check that out. Thanks for replying
