M550d

tubeless1975 it's always going to take a few attempts no matter who does it. There is a fuel pipe between the fuel tank and engine and in the middle of the pipe is a filter containing a half litre of diesel, when you swap the filter it will take a few attempts to pump diesel through the new filter, nothing will happen until the fuel passes through the new filter and ignites the engine

John Narey thanks for the message, the 520D holds 5.2L it should be written in the owners manual

Thanks for the video - so I need to buy 6 litres to refill to 5.2L or are you saying that 5L is enough?

An uncle of mine had a BMW like that and has put 200K on it until he crashed it. It still had the original chain.

+mikeecho101 Castrol EDGE 5W-30 A3/B4 is a BMW Longlife-01 approved oil. Oil selection is something that needs to be researched by each individual before servicing. Different oil viscosity for different weather conditions and people have their own preference for Mobil1, Shell or Castrol. I used Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4 after the above service but from reading up on oil 5w-30 is suitable for Australia as it never gets below freezing www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/products/cars/engine-oils/castrol-edge/product-range.html

+John Rice i have Castrol EDGE 5W-30, LL01 but it doesn't say A3/B4 on the lable

mikeecho101 is correct. The petrol engines with NOx-sensors require LL-04 as well as the diesel engines with diesel particle filters. My previous 335i (N54) was ok with LL-01 due to the fact it does not have NOx-sensors. The owners manual stated LL-04.

To me Castrol send me this message,- BMW (EU) 520d. Recommended oil: EDGE 0W-30 or Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 C3.

Christopher Kim change the filter before pouring the new oil

Oh, thanks.... got it. So obviously I should drain out the used oil first b4 installing the new filter I reckon.

arnietwo the diesel is pumped by an electric pump which is off when the engine is off

thanx,i changed the fuel filter this afternoon with no problems, !!!

Neil Vance did you use the right consistency oil for your climate?

Hi John yes 0w30 Castrol Edge fully synthetic (BMW LL4 spec). So I then left it in to a mechanic for the timing chain replacement and he says it needs a new oil pump ... fingers crossed, still waiting for him to call when it's ready.

What milage does yours have? Because the n47 is from 2009 which they also use in 5series, 1series, 3series, but the chains seem to stretch out at around 100-150.000kms.. Really want to buy an economy engine 2.0d but dont want pay 3000 euros for a new chain....

KL4K50N you can buy Castrol anywhere and it's the BMW recommended oil, you could use Shell or any other as long as its BMW LL oil

I know, but at this moment castrol oil is not the same like was few years ago. For my F10 i useing only Liqui Moly

it doesen't matter wich oilmanufactuerer you choose. What's matters that it fulfill the BMW LL-04 specification.

Göran Blomqvist bullshit. Check some oil test in the KZfaq and read some info about oils...

+P Os A local BMW specialist wanted over $600 (AUD) to do this job. BMW would not quote me before booking the car in. I am sure BMW would have asked for twice as much, then tell me I need new wipers, tyres, shocks etc. Usually the specialists use non OEM spec filters and non BMW approved oil. I paid $84 (AUD) for the air filter, $65 for the fuel filter and $27.50 for the oil filter from Ebay and $50 for the Castrol Edge oil. Peace of mind knowing they are the right parts when changing oil

+John Rice , Ive just had the timing chain replaced on my 2011 f10 N47 engine, it started to fail at 115k, km. Cost 2600 euro.

+P Os mine failed at 136k they replaced my engine for free

+Mehmed Mehmedov Thanks Mehmed. What year is your car and what country did they replace it in? There is a global recall on the N47 engine for timing chains but when I called BMW Australia they said its not for my model even though mine has a N47 engine

+John Rice my car is from 2011. bmw belgium raplaced my engine(brand new one). i think you had to service your car at bmw to get you chain raplaced

How to do it sir ?
