Thanks for watching!
Great job on documenting the process and providing some great tips for the BMW i8 oil change! It's truly an awesome video and I am glad you put something out there with above par audio and video as my oil change video was a first attempt at learning. :) I'm going to have to incorporate a few of these steps in my oil change process as well. I'm so very grateful that you mentioned my channel's video as well. Thank you so much for your kindness and friendship!
Thanks Pat! You video was really helpful :) Always enjoy all your i8 content :)
Great video!!!! The production quality is top notch. Well done and to the point. Thank you.
Can’t say enough such a fantastic channel
Great video. Perfectly photographed, tons of good tips, and very entertaining. Menu selections and button pushes to check oil level, no dip stick. I guess that is progress. At least it is a cleaner way to check the oil. 😃
Good job, comes out clean as always..
Great stuff as always
I love watching your channel!
Watching how to change the oil and filter of a car that I could never have. Great job!
i wish al the videos of youtube been like this omg thanks
You really know your stuff! Nice!
You did an amazing job on this video and my wife and I absolutely LOVE your personality! Keep these amazing tutorials comin 🙌🏼
Wow! Thanks so much!
I used to live in Colorado.I attended Uni at CU Boulder where I obtained my PHD in Aerospace engineering. Many many years ago, when I was an enlisted soldier; I was stationed at NORAD (Colorado Springs).
I miss Colorado.
It is a pretty state. My coworker for many years is an ASE from CU! I went to UF and ended up at Martin down in Waterton Canyon. With the car groups we drove down to CO Springs a couple times a year. I think we did a video of a drive down to the Edelweiss restaurant. Good times!
@@HeidiandFranny I have not visited CO since relocating from CO Springs to Nashville TN in 2019. I need to make a trip back sometime.
I can see a career move doing instructor videos for BMW😀😀
Thanks would be fun!
Good video I’ve learned a lot
Very informative video. Great job.
Thanks!
trabajo , limpio y perfecto !!
Great Car!
If the subscriber number would have any relation to the quality content of RUclips channels, your account would sky rocketing...
Thank you so Much and wish the best for 2020.
Thanks so much! Unfortunately that doesn't help much if folks don't click on the video... Need to get better at that!
Again great video. I prefer to perform my own maintenance on my bmw. I could tell you horror stories about my experiences with me local bmw dealership. From missing engine hardware, tools left inside the engine bay and my favorite, removing my old air filter and never installing a new one. I shouldn’t have to check for these things but, I love my cars and want to be sure they are taken care of. Maybe I am too picky. Anyway great job. Silicone paste is a good choice as a o-ring lube.
Good tip on cleaning the engine surface before you remove the oil filler cap. Dust and dirt can go anywhere indeed. Also interesting to see how much the viscosity is different from other (older) BMW engines. Great job as always :)
Thanks so much Freerk.
Franny I bet you could back a 30 ft. Boat Straight down the Ramp... I like your Style ,Respect ...Cheers
Maybe use a oil extractor prior to draining to help cut down on the rush of oil coming out of the drain.
I would like to do this job my self but as my car is still under warranty I don’t think I allowed !? A very good instruction video for all DIYs. 👏🏻
I don't know if it would void the warranty... You could call the dealership and see... Ours is out as of last November I think so I thought it would be fun!

Love the video! Have had any problems with the 2015 I8 so far? What a gorgeous car!
Thanks. We just replaced the latch on the trunk, but that's about it. We got a small battery (accessory) when we bought it.
In the US, do you not worry about not having dealer Service History like in the UK when it comes to sell a car? I wouldn't want to buy an i8 if the service book/idrive did not show it was serviced at the main BMW dealers (even though its expensive)
We (or I should say me lol) tend to look for Full BMW Service History (FBMWSH) to make sure everything is done by BMW, specially when I was looking to buy my E63 M6. Something like an i8, I would be looking for this too being a "special" car lol
Anyway top job!
The only commonality I notice between your BMW i8 and the 1975 BMW 2002 I once restored is basically four wheels. Interesting to see where engineering has gone over those years.
This car is very different than any BMW that came before it. This is one reason it is so special...
Hi Franny, Another great video! I have an M2, but I still learn a lot from watching you work on this car. I’ve been having trouble finding service manuals for modern cars (my M2, my wife’s Macan). Do you have tips for where to find them? I hate solely relying on forums and videos (except yours!), but sometimes I have to when I can’t find a manual. I know NewTIS is an option for BMWs at $30 per day...curious if you have advice. Thanks!
Thanks Charlie! Check out eManuals. I got a manual for the i8 there. They have just about everything. It is the full actual TIS shop manual. I think I paid $20? Something like that.
@@HeidiandFranny Great tip, I’ll check them out! Thank you!
Are you planning on posting other service items? Just curious why you didn’t do air filter at the same time plus whatever other service items are required for the mileage. Pollen filter etc.
Yup! Will do. I just like to break all that out in case someone just needs one thing.
Did you consider the 1/2 litre you added to the oil housing cap? Total now 5 litres
Yes I did. I just saw the old final 1/2 full bottle ;)
👍👏👏👏🇧🇷
@Franny did you say"annual oil change"?
The recommended service is once a year. Easy enough to bang out in an hour or so...
4.5 lt or 4.25 is the right oil amount to put in the B38?
I think I ended using 4.5l
Don’t understand why BMW didn’t out a dip stick
I absolutely HATE how the filter housing is plastic garbage.
Where did you learn all this stuff? Would you marry me?
“Supercar”?
To her it might look and feel like a supercar so...
Saul Espino i8’s are slow it can’t feel like a super car unless you’re talking aesthetics
It's so common to hear the i8 referred to as "a supercar" and "not a supercar" by many car enthusiasts. I personally hesitate using that term with my i8 because it leads to disagreement. My most recent disagreement was with the owner of an Aventador SVJ who invited me to a rally where only supercars could attend. I told him, the i8 is not a supercar, and I'd feel like the owner of the CarBros replica Enzo that showed up to the Tour de Elegance during Monterey Car Week if I showed up with the i8. He called the host and they said the i8 is a supercar and is welcome. I still felt out of place, there. I was once told: "What defines a supercar? Mid-mounted engine and lightweight but rigid chassis including a high power to weight ratio. At the end it needs to be desirable." The debate continues. 😃
I don't consider any car in the low 4s to 60 slow...
@@PatsGarageOnline If a Ferrari Dino 206 and a Lotus Esprit 2 litre is a Supercar... then the for me a i8 is too.
Good vid, congrats to you all for doing it!
Oil filter should be removed first, just saying...
Not according to the service manual...
