once a year just before MOT or every 7k i do from years never ever had a problem with engine
Same!
Don't have a mini but watched it just in case 😁 Great methodical procedure and enjoyed it. Nice one George 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Changing the oil will make any car last longer 😁😁😁😁😁
Seems like way too many don't know this though!
@@GeorgeAusterstotaly agree alot dont even top it up or check the bloody dipstick 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ had one the other day car i brought was bone dry 😂😂😂
Nice one 👍
Thanks mate
My wife's 2009 Mini Cooper, the service interval was 15,000. Suffice to say I did an oil change every 6000 miles. Apparently it is a Peugeot engine and they did not have service intervals that long in their cars fitted with the same engine
Horrible engines drinks oil like its going out of fashion and constantly breaking down 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I think these engines came with a lot of flaws from factory… BMW made things worse with extending the intervals
Mini recommend the usual BMW long life (2-year) service interval!🙄🙄🙄🙄
It’s extremely silly
I’ve gotten quite ocd with my oil changes now George. I change twice a year (when the temperature drops and increases) in winter I use 5w30 FS and in summer I use 10w40 FS I change around every 3k miles or less however this car is driven hard. The 4.6 is x5 gets 5w30 FS 5k intervals 12mths
Yep that seems reasonable enough!
Top skills there George what's your view on products like Wynns Oil Flush (For older Engines not your nice rebuilt Mini engine) are they worth a go?
I always use engine flush get all the crap of did it in my scooby
Doesn’t hurt👍🏻
@@flippingcarsrepairs Good point!
@@GeorgeAusters Maybe you could get a Sponsorship Deal from them? Nudge Nudge Wink Wink
George, did you run running in oil after the rebuild for 500 miles and then switch to a synthetic? Got my engine rebuilt now and im in the initial running in stage using 30w mineral running in oil.
Correct.. Make sure to run it in properly to bed in the piston rings!
Just my view, But many years ago I started draining my oil when the engine had been sitting for a week of so using a suction pump via the oil dip stick hole, I can get 1/2 liter more oil out, plus when I fill the oil it stays clean on the dipstick much longer. I don't care how long it takes to drain, I just set the pump and walk away, in my view more dirty oil is taken out and more clean fresh oil is put in. Happy if you Dis-agree 🙂
I think if there is any debris or or sludge though, it may stick to the bottom of the pan as you won’t have the flowing affect like you do when draining it.
@@GeorgeAusters Fair point. it's one of those things where there are pro's and con's. I will be changing the sump gasket at one point so will see how it looks.
I just mentioned it as I'm always told people warm the oil up to assist flow rather than making sure the sump is clean from debris as I feel the oil filter keeps the oil clean in the engine. I will do some more research on this, thanks for your comment.
@@GeorgeAusters On balance I suspect you are more right than me on this issue. many thanks 🙂
Hi George, this is a great video! Just a quick question, I'm planning on doing this in the summer. Did you use a ramp or axle stands? I think it does look like a ramp but I couldn't seem to tell. Do you have a preference?
Ramps are easier
@@GeorgeAusters Thank you! 👍
What do you recon to the manol oil compared to shell
Ive just started useing manol myself
Used it for years, never had an issue👍🏻
Use it all the time on both my Audi (diesel) and wife's Mini (petrol)- as long as it has the necessary ratings and viscosity - no problems at all. Minis would probably like a C3 oil to minimize carbon (direct injection issue) build up.
@@derekgb3780C3 isn't against carbon build up, it's against ash build up in the DPF. That means that the oil have less additives that not "burns" but have been put in the oil to increase the lubrication efficiency. I think one of these additives is zink. Not fully burned carbon is soot, the rest is CO2 and CO.
If you sometimes want to clean/wash the DPF, you have to know that one detergent with low pH value is for one, and with high pH value for the other. Unfortunately I don't have in my mind which is for which of them.
Do you use any oil flush?
This is a brand new engine so not needed but doesn't hurt if an engine has missed a few oil changes!
What is that rattling noise like a clanking -not injector tick?
Vacuum pump, it’s normal
@@GeorgeAusters thank god. I have a 116i N13 which is the same thing in longitudinal form and it annoys me
Is 5w30 mannol brand oilbok to use on bmw 525d 2007 lci
Yes - it’s what I use👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters wicked il buy a 2 of the 5l tubs that should be more then enough for a oil change
Spot on👍🏻
@@GeorgeAustersNow in my 2011 X3/F25 30d with 251,000 km I seem to have about 0.5l too much "oil" according to the dipstick after 5,000 km... I think there is at least 0.5 l diesel in the 5W -30 oil.
I must try to find a level place to make another chec. This time oil temperature was 90°C.
I know that in some Volvo diesels there was a sticker saying don't fill to the upper mark...
When you buy a car with 246,000 km you can, more or less, expect anything... Or you should at least.
You did order the one I linked in the description right?
Oh here we go another oil change video 🥱
I film pretty much everything I do on my cars👍🏻
Is it me or does that sound like something knocking?
It’s just how these engines sound. The knocking noise is the vacuum pump and the ticking is the injectors👍🏻
is she a diesel?
No she's a petrol
😂😂😂😂
It sounds like my 1997 Pug 1.5D 😂
@@poppydogz certainly dont sound healthy 😬😬
It’s basically a brand new engine lol… This is how these engines sound - most direct injection engines are very noisy👍🏻
I hate to say it but that engine doesn't sound good on tickover. Like the big ends are starting to fail.
It’s how these engines sound👍🏻
Hi I also noticed the the sound coming from the engine and it not normal for them I've owned many mini coopers and the tickover sound where quieter I would recommend checking it over @@GeorgeAusters 👍
@@lisasmith5945totaly agree o had a load of them too
My work collegues one doesn't sound like that.
@@simonh870 you sure its the same engine
