Great calm steps and well detailed and i can actuallly see what youre doing. not rushed. just perfectly explained ! thank you sir !

Very good
Thx for tutorial man✨
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful 🙏🏽
Great video! Will be giving my own oil service a go as the garage wants £120!
Glad it was useful!
Thank you
Good video. Couple of extra steps
1. Open the oil cap when draining old oil from sump
2. Always use a torque wrench both the drain plug and oil filter cap are 25nm
3. It is easier and better to place the new oil filter in the housing using the locating pin on the filter first then screw the cap in.
Thank you for the tips! Investing in a torque wrench now
thanks pokerbokey! do you know the torque of the oil drain screw?
@@flaviomancini351 step 2.
I was just about to say all this. the only thing I would say. if the oil filter housing is on the top of the engine like this open it and let it' it drain back into the sump.
Drain plug is no where nr 25mm
Well done superb 👏
Thanks Khamis!
Useful video dude ..... hope the designers at Vauxhall watch this and see where a oil filter should be located !!😅
Confident to do this to my bm now and not pay a small fortune at a garage for relatively simple procedures
cheers 👊
Glad that was helpful Neil! Exactly why I started doing mine too.
Hated removing the filter in my friend's Corsa!
Perfect video 👏🏻 thanks
Are BMW’s worth getting only every time I say about getting a series 1 people always say steer clear clear of any BMW because they’re always breaking down or having trouble
Good question and I hope you get an answer soon from the host 🤔
Well done bro
Thanks for watching Jaafar!
Bro my car now back window get steam when is raining do you know how fix it thanks.
maaann ur saver!!!
Glad the video helped, thanks!
I would personally put either a carbon activated cabin filter or a bio function version. That one you put
in only filters dust- not smells or gas
All I need now is the tools 🛠️ and I’m confident to service my car
13:54 you are cleaning the air filter box with a rag. Take it out instead and wash it. It is only held in on 2 sliders and easily relocates. Nice video.
Very good presentation. Neat.
Can you share any idea about BMW 116d series 1 , radiator bracket replacement please
Hi Leon,can I use same oil filter size as yours in a 2016 bmw 120i
Any help with the coolant change? Having a nightmare with mine
òh my god my heart stopped beating at 2:45
Managed to drop the sum plug in there once!
On a major service should also have done the fuel filter as well just an FYI🙌🏽still a great job though!
Good point, servicing it again in a few months so will do! Thanks for watching
Is this engine the same as Toyota verso 1.6 D sky luna
Great video Question for you I am getting a bmw active tourer 2series 218i. 1.5 petrol is the service job the same as this thanks
Hey Paul! You'll find that most cars have pretty much the same way of servicing. I sometimes take a little bit longer with cars and figuring out where the oil filter and drain plug is etc. Usually RUclips is a great place when you get stuck!
Attention! The oil filter MUST BE ALWAYS REMOVED before the oil ! Every one seems to make this mistake !
Hey Bobby. What's the reason for that?
I got into the habit of doing it in this order because there's always a massive oil spill!
@@leong1163 because u release all the pressure and the oil come off naturally
I see, thanks!
Is the a reason for this, struggling to work out why it would make any odds.
Usually I just take off drain plug then take off filter then I wate like 40 minutes and let it it drain then put drain plug on then the filter and this does perfect for my car runs perfect every time I do my own to on my bmw but instead of going to bmw for oil I'm getting Castrol this time thanks I was hesitant because they say to use original bmw everything it's annoying
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Why do everywhere I look it says BMW does not have dipsticks anymore? Is this just for the one series ?
I changed the oil, the mechanic reset it manually but the oil only gave me 6k km for the next service and below it appears non-executable reset being green, I see cases where this non-executable reset does not allow the service to be carried out, do you know why that is? Since the brake fluid reset is impossible, please help me. Me
do you know where i locate the engine number? olease sent a picture if you know it
would you say bmws are really expensive to repair if i go to a local independent garage. people make out its a money pit. is it that bad?
Just curious, after you replaced the drain plug on the bottom why didn’t you pre lube the filter and O rings before inserting the filter back in and then fill the oil reservoir
I thought this was “good practice” but I could be wrong.
Thanks for the video, very informative.
Yes, he should have lubed the o ring. It seals better when it's lubed up
Yeah!!! And again I didn't see him replacing diesel filter or does this 120(d) not equipped with it🤔
How many litter did you put ??
Thank you for the great explanation...i recently took my car for an 'oil change' ...was surprised when i checked the dipstick 2 weeks later that the colour of the oil was black on the dipstick really wondering whether they changed the oil or not...that is why i better learn to do this myself...
You’re welcome & you’re 100% right - gives you that peace of mind and saves you a lot of money in the long run too!
@@leong1163 how do u update the idrive with the service details?
At what mileage do you reckon needs to change the gearbox oil. I am driving 116i . Thanks
Hi, normally every 30-60K miles. Depends on the previous driving standards or if it’s been changed previously. Does it suggest in your manual?
i have a 2005 120d, on micksgarage they said i needed 5w-30 so i got that and put it in today, but euro car parts is saying 5w-40... is this bad? i already put the 5w-30 in
It won’t do any damage to the engine. Have a look at which grade your manual recommends. You can always do another oil change in a few thousand miles or so!
Will not make any difference if you live in the UK. 5w40 is really only necessary in a very hot climate, so 5w30 is perfectly fine. The manual will give both options to cover different countries and climates. The most inportant thing is that the oil is fully synthetic and low Ash and is bmw approved. You're looking for BMW LL04 standard on the oil. Once you have this it doesn't matter what make of oil you use as it means that the oil has been blended correctly to meet the manufacturers requirements. Hope this was helpful.
You have to pop de oil cap before draining the oil
Good point, will certainly help it flow through easier
no engine flush ???
Where do u jack it up??? Not at the designed point where the jacks should be put???
Hi mate might be late but you can jack it from the front - directly. There is a round circle on the under tray toward the back marking the jack point. Make sure you use a good trolley jack as a lot of weight, with a flat surface ideally with the rubber pad to avoid damaging the tray. Once up you can use a jack stand either side on the bmw jacking points. You can get two rubber inserts to rest on the top of the stands for better stability and to avoid damaging the plastic.
Would you Pls post some pics about those points you mentioned.
Thanks for information. Do you know when to change spark plugs my service says i needs to change but my car is 118i 32000 km and 4 years
Modern spark plugs last longer, I’d say around 60K miles. Keep an eye out for any misfiring 45-60K miles, but I’m sure they will last fine!
why didn't you put on carbon cabin filter?
I service my cars pretty frequently, will do it next time!
Please can anyone help with airbags light, i have the 1 series 116i m e81 2008 and the airbag light will not go away.
.... Any assistance will be most appreciated...
Hi, have you tried reading it with an OBD?
@@leong1163 thank you for replying, no i haven't and don't have one. I may have to take it to a garage ( financial pains😢) and trust. There is just no honest work- person out there anymore.
I understand. I’d recommend getting a basic one off Amazon, capture the code, and clear the light and seeing if it returns back. You can get one around £30 and return it if you don’t need it. Garages charge upwards of £40-50+ for a basic OBD scan
@@leong1163 many thanks for your kind reply., will try. 👍
Fuel filter?..
My quiry exactly, but I don't want response. Did you find out if this engine is equipped with fuel/ diesel filter 🤔
Is there anything else you would do but haven’t covered in the video?
Perhaps the fuel filter, brake pads. I guess it depends on whether it's an interim or major service. You can probably find a few more things to do depending on the service history of your car
Do you like ordering from fcpeuro
I do - I click and collect most orders. I found that Car Parts 4 Less is their subdivision with less overheads, hence the prices are lower. So started ordering from them instead!
NO FUEL FILTER CHANGE…??
the way that you closed the under cover turns me crazy. It will flap around
Ah good spot! I've just sorted it out. Thank you
Hi bro have you got a email I can contact you on?
Hey mate - apharauk@gmail.com if you still need me
My Owners manual says nothing about oil capacity
I believe the manual says level between two markings on the dip stick is 1 litre - you can use the car software to measure it too!
How do I use the car setting to measure it
@@josephclarke9466 on the f20 you need click on menu on your cars control panel and click on vehicle information then click on measure oil level
Car has on flat ground with the engine warm and running in neutral for the car to measure the oil
I do not know about the older cars
@@deadlyhydra Exactly this. Around 10:55 in the video if you want to see it
What year is this car
It’s 2014
@@leong1163 Hi Leon, which oil filter should I use on my 2016 120i
You forget one spark plugs change
It was done before I bought the car. Next time 👍🏾
Spark plugs in BMW F20 are change only when the car required. ( it’s not a part of full service )
5w40???
Correct!
I have one BMW 116D year 2017 and i use 5w30.
@@kildio69 Nice! I ran out of 5W-40 so I’ve put in 30 at the moment - need to cycle it soon and put 40 back in!
Thanks! The tutorials are very good.
Why u wearing a face mask working alone in an outdoor space 😂 clown
What difference does it make to your life? 😂 clown
I stopped watching during the first few seconds when I saw he uses Castrol GTX. Clearly he has zero clue about engines
Its castrol Edge and is the correct oil. 😂
For Automatic gearbox
F2O 2.OOOcc 116d
Oil type
5 / 3O
Or
5 / 4O
Excellent video 👍
Glad it was useful George!
