Glad I watched this, planning on my first ever service in a couple of months (owned new cars up until this)
Would have shit myself if I didn't know about the fuel pressure & priming the pump!
And this is what makes these videos worth while. Thanks Rob👍🏻
I appreciate your videos!!!
On average how much do you spend every 5k miles on service bits ?
Done mine a few weeks back thanks George. I didn't do the fuel filter. But going to do it soon. Also noticed the boost pipe is leaking where it connects to the intercooler. Common fault im told. Someone said to use ptfe tape under to oring seal to make it seal better. Going to try it. Also getting a slight whistle noise on turbo
You can buy a new o ring👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters ok thanks George I'll try order one 👍
Great video. I have a 2016 535d. I've been reading that priming the fuel pump using ISTA is necessary after changing the fuel filter, to avoid damage to the high pressure fuel pump. You indicate that this isn't necessary. What say you for my car?
Hi George, nice vídeo again about n47 :)
Thanks Miguel!
can I ask you something off topic?
I need too replace my timechain kit (n47) and i have some doubts about the brand , I know that you use Fai in your video is reliable?
many opinions talk about swag febi oem bmw.
excuse me if I made mistakes in writing I speak better English than I write.
Iv had mine 8 years E82 msport was a ex demo car so has everything on so Iv kept it untouched and standard and done all the work myself but now I’m getting it ready to sell doing full service and paint buff and repaint the 18 inch wheels It’s a 60 plate with 130.000 miles had new chain (90.000) and turbo and EGR valve done Any recalls done and full service book What do you think it’s worth. I’m looking £6200 for it I’m the second owner from 2014 I got it Has lovely full leathers heater seats. And Bluetooth with special cup holders lol Full black msport pack what do you think
you can calibrate the oil levels on your OBD after you're happy with what the dipstick shows
I‘m learning something from this.
Good stuff!
I heard the same in Germany from a bmw expert, change oil ever 10k kms because of the chain
i'm not sure if the way you changed the diesel filter is correct. as far as i know, diesel has to be pre-pumped with ISTA so that diesel is applied to the high-pressure pump and thus lubricated with the diesel, otherwise the pump eats itself up. if you do this with ISTA, the engine starts immediately because there is actually already pressure on the rails and only the line to the high-pressure pump has to be bled and not the commonrails. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Done this on e87 118d and e91 320d at least 30 times. Every 15.000 km or every 12 months. What about the oil grade I always use 0w30. But I know 5w-30 is also very popular.
Surprised you don't mention how the oil will be spread round the engine after running it to warm the oil and make it less viscous, also when topping up the oil you have to account for the oil not being spread round the filtration system and so really should just add 5 litres and then after running the engine leave it on a level surface to drain down excess spread round the engine, then check the dip stick for an accurate reading and top up accordingly, also i know my N47 is rated to take 5.2ltr's is this not the same across the board? (57plate E83).
George, what Mannol 5w30 oil do you use for the N47?
Hi man!
My bmw e90 n47, 2012 is 335k km on it. Only egr deletted, nothing else change. What to change if i want to be safe to not let mee in road. Thanks
is the Bosch N6457 actually the filter you used? the photos of it don't look anything like the filters I've seen, or the ones shown in the video
Nice one pal , I just need some good weather 😅 as no garage . Often forgot about the fuel filter . On oil , I've never heard of that brand , was it reccomended and just as reliable as known brands ?
Good stuff. Yes I’ll have a video coming solely about oil soon👍🏻
My n47 have 200000 miles and run like a clock.
5000 miles change oil!!!and have kn filter ...!
If you have care about your engine I think you have to put original air filter and change oil between 10000 miles.
But thanks for the video ..
👍
George how good is that mannol oil I’ve seen a lot it for sale and it’s quite cheap so I’m guessing it’s ok value. Would it be ok in my 123d as I use Castrol edge at the moment 5w 30 cheers great upload as usual 👍🏻
Yep no different👍🏻
I tested on my car, 6-7k miles is indeed too much for the oil change. 4-5k is the maximum.
If someone asked how I saw that, my car smokes for a second at the cold starts in the cole season with oil older than 5k miles. Also the new oil changes a lot the way the engines works (more smoothely, better consumption and so on)
Even on my X3 G.01 20d it doesnt even mention the dipstick in the manual. I never use the electronic oil measurer...
Nice one, how about a video of changing the brake fluid, which should also be changed fairly regularly?
I have a few videos changing brake fluid👍🏻
How often should you change the brake fluid
I'm using 5w50 on a stage1 n57 350hp
Good video. Is it the same setup with the 530d? E60. As regards to the fuel filter. Thanks
Yes
I change oil every 10000 km and fuel filter every second oil change on my 1er N47.MANN filter for oil,Bosch for fuel.5w30 Mobil Super 3000.And MANN or Bosch air filter everytime...Only on premium diesel.265000 km and still running smooth :)
MANN oil filter I will recommend too.
I'm on 350 000km n47 running like a charm
@@jumperxd3465 Hi. Do you have a 535d?
Sono d’accordo con te, ho una BMW 118d n47 tagliando completo ogni 5000 km attualmente a 260.000 km e va molto bene, In più anche prima di fare tagliando adattativi per pulire motore
Hi how often would you recommend to change the gasoil filter/ fuel filter
Every year👍🏻
I change my oil every 5000 miles useing a fully synthetic oil and a Mann filter ...... Thanks for the reminder about the fuel filter , I have a 2014 BMW 328d x drive with 90000 miles and it is now ordered .
Whats your opinions on buying two filters, good oil, a fill of cheap oil, and using the cheap oil to do a flush 6hrs or so, then putting in the good oil and the next filter?
Upto you really, not needed though
What did you use to clean the oil filter cap after changing oil filter?
Brake cleaner
Great vid. 5w40 for N57d30a too?
This is 5w30 not 40👍🏻
Next time also put some fresh oil on the oil filter, I tend to soak it before putting it back. Reason: a sudden pressure built up starting up the engine might push the paper flat or even crunch it but you won't know before you open the filter when the next oil change is needed. It sometimes happens.
Changing the fuel filter every 70.000 to 80.000 km is enough. For sure it will keep the water out of your fuel system because will kill the system as it may corrode the valves and diminish lubrication! (Actually the water build up is more killing for the fuel system than dirt entering the system after all we should be able to get nice and clean fuel into the car in this modern part of the world we are living in).
It is a risky thing just to start the engine with empty fuel filter! I bet some of the less experienced viewers will forget the quick and dirty way of filling up the fuel system and the reason is: first it is not recommended to have the fuel pump running too long without fuel as it has no lubrication trying to get the air out. That will kill the pump. The safety could kick in and stop the starter from working. You will need the laptop to connect to unlock.
Some of your viewers will thank you for that when they won't get their car moving again after their intentions were to do something good to their car.....🙂
No one talking about the 30mpg??, that’s a great effort!🤣 you must drive hard!
Hahaha I always reset it. Only been doing very short journeys lately
Are all these clips the same for the 640d as i know they are the n57 engine. ??
Yes
Would you ever consider an engine flush before putting new oil in?
If your engine is dirty yes
For good mearsure .is it advisable to open the oil sump and give a clean as well.? lots of sludge hiding in the sump corners , nooks and crannies.
I wouldn’t say you need to remove it everytime you do an oil change lol. I’ve already removed mine when I did the timing chain👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters at what miles u ve done the timing chain?
120k
@@darkmk2000 don't if not needed. If there is no ratling sound the tensioner will be okay. Better to keep the oil change at regular base in focus, it is better for the gearing and chain itself and is the best maintenance you can do to it to guarantee a good performance. Mine did for more than 550.000 km and now is enjoying its pension life somewhere in Eastern Europe. O...make sure the engine is nice and hot 🔥 before pushing it to the limit. You can push almost any bmw engine to the limit but keep the temperature in focus. The 6 cilinder engines like to keep low revs (under 2000) before getting pushed.
George knows the score Bosch or Mann forget fram 🤣
Always!
🙌🏼
👏Thank you Bro, Every 5000 miles service on bmw engine i only learn it from you my car will be thanking you 😂
Good to hear man!
Hello.
Do you put two-stroke oil in the diesel?
Why?
@@GeorgeAusters Some people add oil to the fuel to better lubricate the pump and injectors.
George, what do you think of putting 2 stroke oil in the diesel tank of n47t?
Why would you?
@@GeorgeAusters Its for lubricate the hpfp
@@GeorgeAusters a cap full or so won’t hurt and will give the pump/injectors a bit extra lubrication.
I would recomnend to keep the car leveld, since this ensure all the oil from all cavities of the engine will drain out, not only from oil sump
I have a question. I am about to buy a 120d e82 with the n47. The car is at 235000km an had got a timing chain replacement 5000km ago, a turbo replacement, a dpf and egr/agr delet. Also it hase a full history/service book. Is the car safe to buy? What do you/you guys think?
Quick update, bought it a week ago😛.
How is it ??
@@christianrosca8177 it’s flawless, it is a joy to drive especially on the autobahn, i get like 5,3 litera per 100km
@@oktayeinsneun9962 good to hear, I’m getting an e92 320d very soon and I’m excited. I believe it’ll be around 200k already tho, any reccomendations to making sure it stays running smooth ?
@@christianrosca8177 I already change my oil twice in this 10 months. I would recommend to change the oil every 10k kilometers. I also would make sure that the timingchainis already was change once. I found out mine hast his 3 timingchain on it 😂. Once on bmw guarantee and once last year from the other person who owned it befor me.
Hi George I’ve recently been told my n57 engine has metal pieces and there is a knocking sound aswell, would it be a new engine? Its done around 55k miles
Damn that’s low mileage for catastrophic engine failure!
Damn that’s low mileage for catastrophic engine failure! I’m guessing oil starvation?
@@GeorgeAusters yeah man it’s really sad, I only just bought it 2 months ago and have spent 2.5k on it but now this engine issue, the oil level was ok even before I done the service on it, something is breaking inside the engine, bmw specialist said eitherpay £500 to take it apart and and then extra costs to find what the issue is that is breaking? Or get new engine.
Probably IS the timing Chain making the rattling sound
do you know if the fuel filter on the e87 1 series is in the same place?
It is
It's not, it's near the trans, on the 5 series it's always near the side skirt
@@alexignat007 trans?
@@easternundergroundsounds6977 trans = transmission/gearbox
What do you prefer, filters from Mann-filter or Bosch?
About the same👍🏻
I think Mann manufacture Bosch filters. Although I could be wrong!
can i ask how many miles you do a year i do about 25000 + miles 5 oil changes a year bro
Really depends. Oil changes cost around £30 so £150 for 25,000 miles of oil is nothing👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters thanks for the reply just checked can get oil right now for £55 8L ? how bad is it to go 20.000 miles between oil changes
@@johnmorrison9072 The oil I use is around £50 for 20L.. Very bad, these engines need regular oil changes
5,5l oil?
Yep
@@GeorgeAusters du musst mal das Ndt 5w-40 probieren von Ravenol.
I just ordered 5w 40, is there much difference? When I phoned bmw the other day they said they are now recommending 0w 30 for an e61 520d
5w40 is thicker than what bmw recommend. I use 5w30 in all my cars👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters thanks for that, I may have to return the oil and exchange for 5w 30. Thanks
@@GeorgeAusters It is believed that at high mileage it is worth switching to w40 (0w40 or 5w40). What do you think?
@@DmitryGolub only use the thicker 5w/40 when your car is consuming/burning oil. Otherwise just use 5w/30 and it will be fine.
Last for millennium but chain will not last plastic guides will break sooner or later fact or fiction 🤔

👍🏻
Your oil is way too black for only 5k miles in between the changes bro
It’s not.. diesel oil turns black instantly
There is no such LIKE LAST FOREVER!!! And you says that plenty of times.
Forever meaning a very very long time
Bmw uses Mahle filters and Shell oil. Manol is cheap oil. I won't trust it as silly as it sounds.
Yes that is very silly.
BMW went from Castrol to Shell. Important is to keep the longlife 04 requirements. There are couple of big manufacturers supplying this quality and you can get this at a nice price if you buy in bulk. Probably you should if you changing every 5000 miles.....😊
Next time is better to make oil level at half ....max oil level=to much pressure on your motor gasket
It’s not. Better to have more oil rather than too little👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters especially on the N47 engine with the timing chain needing new and fresh oil to lubricate it as much as possible
Hmmm.....keep it between half and max and don't overdo it neither too low nor too high. Too high it could kill your seals and might take air thus diminish lubrication and effect the pressure built up in the engine bay because the overpressure cannot be released properly. Too low for obvious reasons like too high oil temperature (it is also a coolant medium), lubrication and less dirt retention.
@@GeorgeAusters don’t overfill the oil or under fill it. To the max on the dipstick is fine
I tested on my car, 6-7k miles is indeed too much for the oil change. 4-5k is the maximum.
If someone asked how I saw that, my car smokes for a second at the cold starts in the cole season with oil older than 5k miles. Also the new oil changes a lot the way the engines works (more smoothely, better consumption and so on)
