Oil change on a BMW N20 Engine is one of the easiest DIYs you can do at home. In this video I try to show every step in doing the oil service on your BMW Z4 at home. Since this service is the same on many different BMWs, such as the BMW 228i, BMW 328i, BMW 428i, BMW 528i and many others, I thought it would be a good way to show people how to save money around $100 by taking an hour of your time and change the oil and filter at home. Not only do you get to save money, you also have a peace of mind that it's done right and you are getting the best oil and filters for the money. You don't don't have to waste your time making an appointment at the service center and dealing with getting to work and back while your car is being worked on.

Did they stop making the GDI Turbo version of Castrol EDGE 5w 30? I can't find it at Wal Mart or Amazon.

If I may add a small suggestion here. I would always loosen the oil filter to the point you can turn it by hand before removing the sump plug. This will allow the filter housing to start to drain into the sump so that you get the most of the old oil out of your engine. This is not in any way a criticism of the video. I have used these videos to help me look after my E89 since I bought it last year. Thank you. Tony.

All good videos. I changed the salmon relays today. If your taking requests, I's like to see a coolant flush/change. Thanks in advance, John M.

@SimpleCarGuy 3 жыл бұрын

I did the coolant flush about a year ago and didn't film it thinking no one would watch it, darn! What I did remove the protective cover on the bottom, take off the clamp of the hose next to the radiator and then slowly unscrewed the cap on the coolant tank. It's a bit messy, but this way it doens't all rush out right away. Thanks for watching!

Certainly on my Z4 E89 23i, there is a blue drain screw on the left side of radiator. . Drain radiator removing blue plug on radiator left side bottom. Get in car and turn on ignition but do not start car. Put heat on max and fan on minimum. Put your foot down on gas pedal for 10 seconds. Water pump will cycle on for 20-30 seconds then off draining block. Replace drain plug and fill with distilled water. Repeat pump purge cycle except this time add water as pump cycles. Repeat process until water is clear, no antifreeze remaining. Fill with 5 litres BMW antifreeze and then keep refilling during pump cycle with distilled water. You need to keep going back to start pump. Watch and hear for bubbles to clear in the expansion tank. Eventually the fluid runs smooth. Fill to mark and test run.

I would wear nitrile gloves - old oil is cancergenic and gives skin conditions. Did your car have an access port for the sump plug? It should be one that just flips down one side.. Definitely worth cleaning the sump case to monitor any future oil leak issues... Thanks for the video

@SimpleCarGuy 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestions! I washed my hands right after that. As far as an access port, there is an access port there but I was swapping the sensor there as well so I took the cover off. So, you don’t have to take it off just for an oil change. I cleaned up the area after I was done and before I put everything together. Thanks for watching!

Amazon lists the Mann oil filter that I need for my Z4 28i N20 is part #HU816Z. I noticed the part # in your video is HU816X. It seems the X version has a crush washer and the Z version has the plastic plug. Maybe this is a change that has been made since your video was made.

@SimpleCarGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you are absolutely right. I replied to your other comment. The filter is the same, but if you have an X drive N20 car (like 328xi or X1 etc.), your oil pan will be metal and you'd need the washer. I think I was just sent the wrong part, but it worked fine for me. Thanks for watching!

@mccommj 3 жыл бұрын

Very good video. I now have the tools and confidence to change my own oil. Just a couple of questions. Wouldn't you get more of the old oil out if you took the car off of the jack stands as the last step in draining the oil? Also, Have you tried using a topsider to remove oil? Thanks and yes, I subscribed.

@SimpleCarGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Glad to hear that you can do it yourself now! You potentially could get a little bit more of oil out if you took it off the jack stands, but I believe that the amount would be negligible. You are never really changing all of it anyway. If there is sludge or contaminates that you need to get out, I would take the car off the jack stands and do a flush with some cheap oil. I've not tried the topsider for oil removal, but I might look into that one day! Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the videos.
