Changing The Oil On My 2015 BMW X3 (F25) - No More Mistakes!

In this video I will show you my process for changing the oil in my 2015 (F25) BMW X3! As you'll see, I start by removing the drain plug, draining the oil, then with a new crush washer, torque the plug to spec. Then I get the oil filter ready by replacing the filter itself and the housing O-rings. At that point, I torque the filter housing to spec. Then I fill the engine with oil, reset the oil service reminder code and measure the oil level.
After further research, the 25 +5 Nm torque spec on the oil filter housing means a nominal torque of at least 25 Nm with a positive tolerance of 5 Nm. Essentially, anything between 25 and 30 Nm is good.
Please let me know if you have any questions in the comment section below!.

Good Morning/Afternoon Everyone. Thank you for the video, very well done and much appreciative. I actually just spoke with my buddy who is a BMW Mechanic and told me some valuable things about the F25’s and the N20 engine. It’s a very reliable engine (as long as you take care of it properly and use the BMW Factory Oil Filters), when they perform an Oil & Oil Filter Change, they fill with just 5 Quarts and lastly, the main weak point on this engine is the Waste-gate. As long as you get on the car often, let it breathe it won’t get all gunked up and fail.

The engine oil capacity for the 2014 BMW X3 3.0L engine is 6.9 US Quarts (6.5 liters). The engine oil capacity for the 2014 BMW X3 2.0L engine is 5.1 US Quarts (4.8 liters).

Nice video and format. OK...ahhh, not the preferred order for draining the oil. 1. remove the engine cover 2. remove oil cap 3. remove oil filter (when you break the seal of the oil filter cap, excess oil will drain back into the oil pan) -- Time is your friend here. Give it time to drain down. 4. remove oil drain plug As a reference, for ALL oil filters that are located TOP side of the engine, this is basically the same procedure. Let gravity do it's thing...from the oil filter down to the oil pan. Since you are unable to verify the amount of the oil needed for your N20, then I recommend adding just the 5 liter first. Then run oil measurement. Top up as needed...by 0.5 liter at a time until you reach the MAX on the oil measuring scale. Record amount...and use that each oil change moving forward. ~~ Owner Experience: 2014 BMW 228i (f22) N20 ~~

Your kit may give you 7 liters because you will burns some oil between oil changes and have some to add. Nice that they did that. Changed oil on 2017 X3 xdrive28i with N20 engine (thanks for letting us know to look for the sticker under the hood). I put in 4.75 quarts and it measured full on screen. Didn’t see a good location under the car for a floor jack so didn’t jack up (very tight in getting under the car next time may drive front wheels up on some 2x4 wood for some extra room but still leaving the car flat to get all the oil out). Also when taking out the oil filter there is still some oil in the housing so we used a syringe to get all the oil out and some clean paper towels to soak up the rest. We did put about a quart of oil in the oil filter housing (takes a second for it to drain down). To do the test to check engine level the car must be hot. Checked it on the next drive out. Great video, thanks for all the info.

I called my local BMW dealer. I have the same engine as you. They said 5.5 litres. When I visit my dealer to get the filter, I will double check.

2015 X3 XDrive 28i. My Build Sheet which gives Filling Quantities says Engine N20B20 is 4.8 Litres. Car has been Serviced at BMW and Independent Specialist. Both Expensive and I don't know how much they put in. For my 1st. Oil Change, How Much Do I Put In? My Drip Tray has Measurements, I will be Checking What Comes Out. Perhaps without a Dip Stick, Me and It's Computer can come to a decision.

What happens if you add more oil than required? Does that damage the engine? Should we remove the added oil? Roman

I just did an oil change on 2.0 L 2013 BMW x3, do not know any other identifications for the engine. I simply put back same amount of oil that came out - just a little over 4 L. Sensor said oil level was not low.

Hello: Hey Matt, liked the video and want more. What is the oil I would use for a 2012 BMW X3 i28? Second, never use old oil to lubricate the O rings. Use the new oil. What is the best synthetic oil for my BMW X3. Thanks Roman

According to my opinion, it's not very good if you don't know if you have a diesel or gasoline engine in your car... 🥺 I would say, you should let a shop do the maintenance and repairs on your car...
