Good DIY. Thanks for doing it. One thing it is always good practice to remove the fill plug first and then remove the drain bolt to drain the fluid. This is because you don’t want to drain the fluid and find out the fill plug is seized.
Note that the proper torque spec for the differential drain/fill plugs is 45 Nm. 60 Nm is NOT the correct torque for the diff drain/fill plugs.
This comment should be pinned to avoid further misinformation. Per ISTA 45 Nm for both fill and drain plug on rear differential (33 11 5 AZ torque spec) Otherwise great DIY.
ugh i saw this too late
should be PINNED!
Your videos are so detailed and informative! Thank you!
Thanks Jim! Appreciate it
very good info, thanks
Thanks for the comment
Also have a black 18 m2! Great car!
Right on! It is a fantastic car
I am from Recife in Brazil South America, would like to thank you for sharing this awesome, made simple video, kudos to you…
Thanks brother! Appreciate the support
Great video. I would recommend taking the the filling plug first for both transmission and the differential. If the fluid is drained and the filling plug doesn’t come out then you are in a big trouble 😀
Did I not do that??
In terms of fluid temp, where would I want to be? I plan on driving to a shop where I can rent a lift work on my M2. I assume an oil change on a car that was just driven to temp is probably not the best idea… What order do you suggest doing these fluids in assuming that I just finished a long drive should I wait a while before starting? Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
I did mine recently and I fitted the oil filter in the engine first, pouring fresh oil in to fill up the oil filter. The oil filter top screws on and seats fine and it means theres already some oil up there and the filter is primed before start up.
Yea priming the oil filter with some fresh oil is never a bad idea
Awesome job bro! Definitely subscribed! I have 2018 M2 too (mineral grey) color. I just installed my Fabspeed catted downpipe and very happy with it, it doesn’t trigger the check engine light. I can feel more horsepower and sounds is ridiculous…
That’s awesome! Fabspeed makes the best downpipes for these cars in my opinion. I love mineral grey too
@@skrrtgarage3922 have you heard the crank seal guard? It causes the engine failure because of oil dripping goes to crank hub and slip the belt or something.
no I haven't, thats new to me. Is it affecting multiple cars?
We need some drag/roll races.
More are coming up!
Is the Redline MTL working well in the M2's Manual?
Thanks for great video. I need to change the engine & transmission oil on my 2011 1m soon. I see you just went with BMW MFT-LT-5 OEM, but I've been contemplating trying Redline MT-LV as have heard good reports of smoother shifts. Not sure yet though.
Thanks! Yea I’ve heard redline is a great aftermarket product. Sometimes I hesitate with gear oil but I think that would work out just fine.
I don’t know if you’ve done it but that Redline MT-LV is not the right fluid for this car. This transmission actually takes DCT fluid. The OEM BMW MTF-LT-5 is actually cross referenced by ZF to Pentosin FFL3 which is PDK fluid. The BMW OE fluid is a less good clone of it supplied by Febi Bilstein. The correct Redline fluid for this trans is the DCTF, and yes, it’s a superior fluid to the OEM. Genuine Pentosin FFL3 should be quite good as well.
@@chrisbradley3224 thanks for reply, I went with Fuchs Titan FLL-3 in the end, as I use their 5w30 oil in engine, so kept the same brand for transmission.
A little easier to do then on the F-Type! I wish the F-Type had an opening in the belly pan to get to the drain plik like the BMW.
Yea as far as DIY oil change go, this car is very easy. I was surprised that the sump plug area is open all the time though - I would have thought they'd be a removable access hatch for that portion.
I suggest to open first the fill plug before drain plug on the diff... If you can't open the fill plug and you already drained the diff, guess who has ta big problem ;)
I always do that, maybe I didn’t film that for this video. Thanks for the comment!
@@skrrtgarage3922 You did @ 9.15. Great video m8.
Nice video, do you know by any chance the max torque that the manual transmission can take?
I’m not sure, I wouldn’t try to test the limit though.
do you feel a difference with the new trans oil?
my car only has 17k miles on it but shifting gears is a bit notchy, especially when cold.
do you think changing transmission oil can fix that?
I noticed only a slight difference to be honest. Mostly because I used the OEM fluid. It may be smoother if you use a different fluid
Reference the gearbox fill plug - it didn't look as though it went in fully and seated - looked as though it might have gone in cross-threaded unless the camera angle was misleading??
It’s just the angle hah. No worries!
Always, ALWAYS remove the fill plug FIRST. If that thing is seized in there, after you've removed the drain plug. Well, you're screwed until you can resolve the fill plug issue.
Are you blind? thats what he did,.
How long does diff fluid last on M2?
It depends on how hard the car is driven, some can last 60-80k miles. If driven hard 30-40k miles is recommended.
How much did you use for the trans? I was only able to get in about 1.2L but i read online its closer to 1.6L?
Yea I didn’t use that much for the transmission either
@@skrrtgarage3922 is this because its a MT and not DCT? I was doing my friends DCT and I think we put about 6 quarts or a little bit more
After completing the trans fluid change, its recommended to row thru each gear before driving the car, correct?
Correct, 2-3 times before use
Like row the gear while the car its off right?
@@dawtsjohnnn yeah, foot on the clutch the whole time, and go into each gear
@@seollenda thanks bro
You used jacks to hold up the front end???
look closer...he did it smart.
I finally bought one 😂
Right on! Congrats
@@skrrtgarage3922 I’m not worried about depreciation I’m going to keep it I love it 😂 mines a 2017 lci with carbon and performance exhaust I got the long beach blue, I’m still in the honey moon stage with it only had it 3 days 😂
It sounds dope man!
@@skrrtgarage3922 any chance of doing a vid on what all the buttons do and how to set your phone up to the car, I was searching for the fuel cap button yesterday and my wing mirrors rotated in I didn’t know they did that 😂 turns out I just needed to press the fuel cap and it and it popped straight out 🤷🏼♂️ Iv never had a bmw so it’s all new to me 😂
I have a lot of videos planned for the bmw! But I’m sure by the time I get them out you’ll have found everything on the car
You sure it’s 47 NM for the transmission? I’m looking at the repair manual table and it says 40 NM, I’m guessing you’re looking at the S55 entry that says 43+4 (kind of a strange way of listing it). But the OG M2 is an N55 engine. Probably not a huge difference it’s the same transmission as far as I can tell 😂
That’s what I saw when I looked it up 🤷🏻♂️. I thought they were the same trans? Hmm 🤔
Thanks for the great video, but please pin the comment that says rear diff drain plug torque spec is 45 Nm.
60 Nm is wrong, people's threads will get stripped! I regret so much that I didn't verify this information.
How many litres did you use ? I was told only 1 litre
On which part? The rear differential I only used just about 1 bottle.
@@skrrtgarage3922 so, should I order 1 or 2 litres?
@@TheHunterHofmanyes
My garage still stinks from doing my diff fluid
Seriously bro, I hate the smell of diff fluid
0w-30? that aint gonna last 10k unless you only drive it a few times a month
I change my oil every 4-5k miles 👍🏼
Why wouldn’t it last???
@@funkiershit BMW used to recommend 0w40 for their M cars, since it's a turbo engine, 0w30 would break down much quicker than a 0w40. I beat the crap out of my 18 M2 so i used motul 300v 5w40 and change it every 5k miles.
