I have 2011 BMW 528i with hi temp 250! I’m going to try this tip this weekend! Does the oil need to be drained first? Or can I just do the oil pass early in the morning before I drive it? Great video!
Watch your carbon build up, your engine won’t get the chance to burn off carbon during highway driving if it’s too cool. Getting around 240 on highway is good for the engine.
yeah i feel this mod is useless. You can simply get a thicker oil like a 5w40 or 10w40 it'll do the same thing. Also when oil is at the operating temperature it's where it offers the most lubrification. Especially at your milleage i wouldn't try to get cooler oil.
This is so bad. U do NOT want to delete your oilcooler thermostat. As other people have stated, your oil needs to reach the correct operating temperature, to have the correct viscosity and lubrication properties.
Thanks very much in the first place and thumb up! Meantime I have a question about the oils temp for my N55, so is cooler oil temp better for your engine or hotter? Like 1/4 is better or 1/2 oil temp meter is better? I’m a bit confused 🤔
I have interesting question. Can I delete the spring and the piston from OEM termostat? I want to have always open termostat and big circuit. I know oil needs longer time to take good temperature but my car is only for weekend and good wheater time. Dont cross 2000 RPM before 70C so for me its no problem to wait. Winter spend in garage, not drive. Its save for motor I mean oil preasure etc? I dont Ask about time to warm oil and temperature, I know that, I Ask only about the other bad things for car with always open oil termostat?
My car oil temperature gauga always stays at lowest and never get up to temputere it doesnt matter how long i drive for its always cold temputure whats the reason u think
Ive just tried thison my n54, its helped drop my oil temps quite a bit. Id been getting temps all the way up and even past 130(266f)Degrees Celsius in certain situations. Now it stabilises at 110(230f) Degrees Celsius and doesnt go over 120. Helps with keeping things cooler in our hotter climate.
Thank you! Only downside would be a bit longer warm up time. Basically the way it is stock the oil flows through the oil cooler only when it gets to a certain temperature but the way I did it the oil is able to always flow through the oil cooler therefor getting cooler oil
Mate how old are you? You seem so experienced with your car. Gorgeous car btw. How many miles did it have when you bought it and how has the reliability been?
Thank you bro! I’m 19, Ive done everything that’s been done to my car since I got it so I’ve learned a lot from it haha. I got it with about 144k I believe &’ it’s been great, it gives me little to no problems! 🙌🏼
Inline Motorsports dude I’m 19 too dude. I really want to get an F10. The ones that are currently on the market in my country have a bit too high mileage with some of them having 200k + which is a bit too much for me. I think I’m most probably going to have to convince my parents to spend more so I can get one with lower mileage hopefully around 100k or less. It’s good to know that the car treats you well. I was hesitant to getting an N55 engine or a bmw to begin with but now I think I’m gonna go for it. How much MPG do you get?
Nice bro! I would suggest to get around 100k or less if you can bro. &’ try to look at previous maintenance to see what’s been done to the car. I usually get around 18mpg! Good luck on your car bro 🤟🏼
Yo. I just bought a 335i F30. The car purrs and drives smooth and beautifully but my temp gage needle is right in the middle, even driving slow paced. I wanted to ask if if might lower the oil temperature depending on the oil. Im thinking of royal purple or if i can find Amsoil, that would prob be better.
The engine is built to perform at that temperature hence why its in the middle of the gauge. If you're getting hotter than you could benifit from the mod, mostly done for hard driving/track use in warm weather.
@@JamesWebbFitness I have to object to that! My BMW F30 hates going to the middle, it’ll stay slightly above 1/4 of the temperature tab. Then if I’m driving it hard it’ll go almost to the middle a few notches off 250, then immediately drop back down to 1/4…. I fear my engine is running a little too cool
😆. Bro that’s obviously an oil cooler. Just a bit of research and you’d find out yourself. If you don’t have paddle shifters , sport seats , or 18” sport wheels. Then you don’t have an oil cooler.
You really should not do this - for an number of reasons. Unless you are tracking your car and causing it to overheat. You WANT the oil around that 230-240 mark. Not only is car and oil designed to run at that mark, water in your oil will not start to boil off at the lower temps. Your car may also restrict coolant flow and may run slightly rich - wasting gas - in order to get up to temp it wants. That being said - I really like the other DIY videos you have done and am following the VANOS one at the moment.
That’s not necessarily true, the cars are designed to run that hot incase dummy’s push it to hard the engine doesn’t total itself. That being said cutting your oil temps in half will not do anything but prolong the life of your Engine. I have a 2015 335 m sport and I upgraded my oil cooler to 5 extra rows (CSF) and I did the actual bms oil cooler valve he was supposed to do in this video. I also went to 5w-40 over 5w-30 and I strictly commute to work Monday through Friday. I don’t see any problems with my car getting up to temperature nor do I find my gas mileage being affected. BMWs from the factory run insanely hot bringing its oil temps down is doing nothing but good. I do see what your saying if temps are insanely low it could pull front coolant and waste gas but none of us are running that cold. I push my car harrrrrrd and i notice the difference in the temps being down 100%. Personally I would not recommend swapping around parts like that tho, the piston and the spring came like that from the factory for a reason. I’m sure BMW didn’t swap that themselves for better cooling, their engineers I think they’re smart enough to know. I feel it’s way smarter to just spend the $50 on the bms part that you are suppose to put in there like I did and see actual results. Don’t worry about running “to cold” you would need insane amounts of cooling upgrades before you need to start worrying about your car not getting up to Temp. Lol
I would recommend this if you push your car a lot or do a lot of drives it dramatically reduces the oil temp. Better maintaining your engine &’ helping it to run better also
I’d check your cooling system prior to any modifications to the oil thermostat, properly bleeding air from you coolant system for example my e90 sits at 220 once warmed up and didn’t come stock with an oil cooler.
Ohhh shit I’m over here concerned that my BMW runs too cool… like literally after 30mins to an hour of driving it still sitting at 1/4 temperature or roughly 180 degrees F
No it doesn’t, my car has already been a bit cooler than usual so I thought maybe it was due to the intercooler but everything I saw online stated that the intercooler only affects the intake air temps
You are hitting 90c max and moisture and condensation evaporates at 100c under normal pressure. Hope your oil goes above 105c or you might not even make to 50k miles
I’m so confused guys, so after I installed my MPPK and MPE my local bimmer dealership also recommended me to do a new spark plug and oil filter, and after that my oil temp always stays at 1/4 or the meter, where before all that it was always at 250 degree. So idk if they just broke my car or it is supposed to be like that?
@@mohammadabdelhadi3838 Hey man, thanks very much for replying. The problem was found some while ago that it was a bad thermostats in the housing. After the replacement, it become more sensitive (not completely jump to 250F but somewhat around 10-15 degree less than that). But hey, thanks for your reply anyways, and yes, you are also right, it wont quite reach to the middle.
The seller is out of stock &’ I can’t find any similar ones bro, sorry about that. You can probably go to a muffler shop &’ see if they have any. Ask for 4 inch tips with a 2.5 inch inlet
The temperature guage in the instrument cluster is and has always been coolant temperature. Very few cars have oil temp gauges. And when they do that include the word oil or a info graphic of an oil can and a thermometer.

Agree, you want the temperature of oil to reach close to 200f for extra protection. I would be scare to spun a rod bearing.

Hey what's up man I have 2011 BMW f10 528i V6 but I don't know how to do it do you have any idea
Interesting bro. Is it a good idea to have cooler oil temps than stock? I'd do this but wondering long term effects.
Its technically the same thing as the burger motorsports oil bypass valve. I haven’t heard any bad things about people running that one! 🤔

Your gauge broke. Cause oil heats up no matter what. It should move up

Do you know how to do this on LCI n55? I have a 2016 535i xdrive so the oil cooler is different.
I noticed that I don’t have this part as well.. kinda sad
in canada my 2009 has no oil cooler......5 or 6 good pulls it runs 265 deg 🤦♂️

The oil doesn’t really make a difference. If you want to lower the oil temperature, then get the BMS oil cooler mod.
@@a9653192 thanks man. I thought it had something to do with the oil itself.

@@BimmerMafia I do have an oil cooler, but I do not have the dual lines like in the video.
Therefore these cooling mods don’t apply to me 🥲

What's the difference between doing this compared to the bms oil cooler valve?
Not too sure exactly what the difference is but they both cooler pretty much the same!
Stop shoving fingers in my face :D
