the fact that the oil filter is on top makes it easier than most vehicles and to say something is easier when talking about working on a BMW is a rarity
Great video. Use the same filter. I have a couple different techniques: ramps for wheels (no jacking, no BMW required jack pads either), pre-oil the o-rings slightly for “sure” seal and reload the oil filter to decrease the amount of time engine is “dry” of oil during first start up after change. And I am sure you are aware, Castrol and Mobil 1 both make the euro spec oil for the N54 and it’s commonly avail at Wally World. Thx for vid!
Lee, Pelican Parts in their DIY oil change write up state that if you don't loosen the oil filter housing lid first, you will leave about 1 liter of old oil in there. So if this is true, you'd have 6.8 qts + 1 L in your engine at the moment.
And wet the tiny o-ring with oil before installing it onto the bird cage piece, also wet the large o-ring with oil before reinstalling oil filter cap. Lastly, it's not a bad idea to wet the oil filter by soaking it briefly in the 6.8qts of clean oil you will add to the car, as well as pouring 1-2 quarts of your 6.8qts into the oil filter housing before installing the filter. Then pour the remaining ~5qts into the normal oil filler cap.
@@bradleygroenhof8183 With aluminium I meant the motor block, but I noticed the N54 has steel cylinder liners, so a magnetic drain plug might be a good idea.
@@bradleygroenhof8183 his point was that because the block is aluminum any metal flakes in the oil won't stick to a magnet. He apparently has never heard of a crankcase, pistons, etc.
Great video but I would always oil the o rings on the oil filter to make sure you won’t have any problems with it leaking or with getting the filter off
I pour my oil in without a funnel. if you miss it gets into the top of your valve cover and pools it impossible to reach crevices. don't ask how i know
What shipping service do you use to send back the old oil and filter and approx how much does it cost to send back? Also do you need to tell the shipping service that you are shipping chemicals?
Depends on where your shipping from. I fit my oil with the big usps box, if it fits it ships and that is $20. My oil change is about $70 real cost is $20 after the refund. yes I tell the post office it is chemicals. Make sure it is fully secured and tops tight.
Are you kidding? You hoisted your engine instead of just putting down wooden planks and driving into them to gain clearance? Yeesh. Great problem solving skills...
Subscribed today, can you please create a video on how you are shipping the oil back to FCP Euro?Starting from putting the used oil into the quarts up to the packaging and approximate cost of shipping it back to FCP Euro? Thanks! I am considering switching on Monday after knowing this info
@@allmycarsisbroke not at all..buy your FCP orders using Paypal sends you a free return shipping label for any order you've made (one per month limit). Free oil and free return shipping is never pointless
I was wondering if you had a proper way to clean the engine bay. My car sits for awhile and everytime I pop the hood the engine is caked with dust. Any help or even a vid would be awesome.
dragger168 same... been trying to figure this out and what his jack lift and jack stand set-up is. I’ve found a ton of decent lifts and stands but would prefer stands that fit the jack lad adapters the best. Hoping his setup is best!
thanks for the video! I would like to know how do you jack up and put front jack stands, do you jack up from rear side point and then put front jack stand or you use front center point to jack up and put both front stands?
Hi I recently purchased a 09 e92 335xi n54 with 51k miles and need an oil change and was wondering which oil you would recommend to use was recommended Rotella T6
How do you keep your engine bay so clean? Do you use any products, and if so what do you use? I live in northwest PA so obviously salt on the roads is horrible, and I want to clean it before things start corroding.
Been trying to find a solid jack lift and jack stands. What is your setup? Do you jack up under the front middle or off on the sides? I’ve seen many videos that do both. Seems jacking up the front middle is the preferred method
I’m new here because it’s I just got my first 08 335i, but I have a serious problem. My coolant pump is leaking bad, like real bad, I have to refill it everyday because it’s my only vehicle for work I took it to a specialist and they want 2500 to fix, they said it’s the turbo line???
Great job going through the steps. What MM oil cover did you use for to get to your oil filter. Been getting difference sizes from local auto stores, I have a 2011 335XI Twini Turgocharged BMW and trying to find out the cover I need to purchase to remove the plastic top to get to my paper oil filter....????
Can you make a video on how you keep your engine bay looking so pretty? I own a 335i as well, new to owning a turbo vehicle--do you have any special way you clean it? I have hesitation to high pressure rinse the motor with a turbo on it. Thanks!
Hey man so how long does it genuinely take to receive the oil? I've been using liqui molly but lifetime warranty sounds good although I do daily my 335i and wouldn't be able to leave it at home for more than q couple days
Are you running catless downpipes. If not how do you hit 18 psi!!?? In your map tutorial you said not to use map two with 14.5 psi without downpipes. How can you hit 18 psi without downpipes.
Does anyone know why the cage part of the oil filter cap is spring loaded ? Does this open and close to allow oil into the motor? Seriously why is there a spring in there ?
I went to my local BMW dealership in town to purchase oil for my N54 and they had told me that they had discontinued making the 5W-30 Synthetic blend and sold me the new 0W-30 Synthetic blend, i wonder if its only around my area, do you have any insight on this?
Mr.Runner Bmws oil is still made by Castrol as far as I know but castrol can hardly compare to liquimoly imo, just got an n54 4 days ago, said they changed with Mobil one so i am definitely gonna change soon with leichtlauf liquimoly and ceratec (I highly highly recommend ceratec, 20$ a bottle and you need a little more than one but it’s incredibly effective)
the only question I have is how much oil do these things really take? I've heard some say 7 quarts other's say 6.9 you said 6.8 and I called BMW and they said 6.5 like really why soo many different numbers?
My oil filter cap separated from the cartridge O.O! I ended up making a video about that haha, make sure you don't throw it away on accident. There is actually a TSB for it.
Hey Lee, I enjoy the videos! Almost time for an oil change on a 2011 e90 i purchased at the beginning of Summer. Was wondering if you’ve ever tried out Liqui Moly oil products? Heard they were excellent, made in Germany and even better than genuine BMW oil, but these opinions were coming from anonymous people in message boards so i’m not so sure what to think. Any insight or info would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Marek Sumguy not really, they recycle the oil and reuse it a lot of people don’t return the oil within the time period as well so either way they aren’t really hurting
With this kind of engine, isn't it generally suggested that you take the oil filter housing cap off first? The car has a drain function that makes all the oil go to the bottom oil pan for easy draining.
Yiu forgot to mention the torque specs for the oil filter and the drain plug. And also drive forgot to drive around a little and re checking the oil level. Correct me if I'm wrong, great video regardless!
Only if you are on a track, perfect for many back to back laps but dump it straight after. The oil will only be protecting your engine correctly at very high temps, eg track days. 0-40 Mobil 1 in opinion is the best n54 oil of them all.
Im a store salesman that makes aprox. 500 a week. How much would you recommend buying one of these same year BMW as far as maintenance cost and reliability?
So we just basically put our old gathered oil from the pan into the empty FCP Euro oil bottles and ship them back to them and we get refunded?? WHAT? You got to be kitten me!
I highly recommend a funnel... I spilled some oil and it leaked down to the coils/spark plugs. I noticed some stuttering and figured I should change the plugs and coils... saw oil on them and was like what the hell??? Asked a guy at the shop I was working at why I had oil on my plugs came and looked and said my valve cover gasket was leaking... spent hours to change it... and the gasket was in good condition. Changed it anyways since I had a new gasket and snapped a bolt on the cover being a dumbass and not following the torque specs... 10 nm or so I saw some say 8.5 but I think 10 wouldn't hurt. Now I have to special order a bolt and do it all over again... yay... all because I spilled a little oil around the fill cap.. so ya, use a funnel.
People here have asked about oil capacity. It's 6.8 qts. Also, you should always add a bit of oil to the filter reservoir which helps to prime. I simply use 7 qts and pour a small amount into the filter reservoir for priming purposes. Finally, the torque value for the oil pan bolt is 18.5Nm and the filter housing. 25.5Nm.
Terrible video. 1. The lines on the oil filter cap are just oem marks, nothing to do with it being completely closed or open, you do know your torque would be different depending on what position the cap was when it started threading, right? Im sure their is an OEM recommended foot pounds spec. 2. Lower the car on level ground to drain out all the oil 3. Dont add all your oil and assume it's correct, go about 1/2 quart under, measure on level ground, then correct. The car never looses 100% of its old oil in a change.

Change filter before you put the plug back in.

I did the same... and then changed my gasket for nothing.. while snapping a bolt.. I do it nice cause I do it twice
I used a shop vac and a small tube coming off the end of the hose to clean mine up when putting in new oil
Then why the f*** do you do it? Are you just a bit slow?
The best part of the vid is watching your son be amazed.
Well, it’s been 3 years. Did FCP honor their lifetime warranty on the oil?

Why is the oil always black!? No matter if you change at 5k intervals?
Turbo engines run hotter, thus turns the oil black over time due to it being hotter than normal NA engines.
