Anyone who's willing to do their own service on their car, gets a like from me🤙

Hey, thank you so much! I just bought a 2007 GT 60th Anniversary Limited Diamond Edition as my retirement gift to myself and this will be so helpful! Great job and well explained. Much appreciated! JCGJR, Bronx, NY

I used wheel ramps from Walmart for my Bentley oil changes way easier.

John, that's one clean GT. Even the engine bay and filter canister was clean looking too. Thanks for sharing and your video reminded me exactly why I hate doing my own oil changes. Not only do I make a mess of things I than have to dispose of the old oil. It ends up being a half-day job from start to finish. Ugh!

I just spent 10 minutes watching a video on how to change the oil on a car that I will never afford..😕

You have a Bentley, and all the tools including a gazillion mm socket for the oil filter housing. How about next time you are at a Walmart $3 on a funnel to pour oil in the engine.

I just bought a 2012 Continental GTC Thanks for showing the oil change

Such a RockStar that Engel guy is! Subbed for daily content. Keep it coming big boy! 100k subscribers is right around the corner.

Really enjoyed this. I will do my first oil change in a week or so, and will do it exactly as you have, with one Michelin Jack and one Jack stand. Thanks for taking the time to make a very informative video.

Good video. This is like the regular guy's guide to Bentley!!

Great video, thanks for making it look easy. I was just looking at used Bentleys and this helps . Thanks bro

What not to do on a Sunday night... learn how to change oil on a Bentley when you don't own one 🤣

Loved the humor. This is literally everyone doing an oil change when they tackle it for the first time on a new to them car.

Thank you for the content. Live what you do and you make things look and be Easier then we all think much respect 🙏🏻

The voices going through your head as you complain to Bentley are very worrying, but very entertaining. Love it.

Really good video. I was surprised that you didn't use a funnel for the oil fill. That could have been messy!

I'M REALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS..... I did the oil and filter change today. You mentioned that the underplate would be a pain to put back, my goodness you were right. The oil and filter swaps took 15 minutes EEASYY! The underplate took only 10 minutes to remove, not as bad as I expected from your video.....BUT putting the plate back took me 2 hours, what a pain the ars#. It really annoys me that car manufacturers go out of their way to make a simple a simple fluid change so, so difficult. That said the satisfaction I now have is priceless having done the job successfully "only" paying £90 for Mobil 1 0/40 Oil and £30 for Bentley oil filter and sump plug, £120 / $95US job done, saved £300 heeee heeeee!!!! good video BTW Thunbs Up

Hey friend! Thanks for the wonderful video. Quick tip, when pouring oil pour it on its side for better air flow! Have a great day

Thank you! This helps me with my new Bentley Continental Gt!!!

Beautiful car and great advice! Makes me look even closer at $30k Bentley’s knowing I wouldn’t have to drop $500 every oil change. Probably still a terrible idea though.😂

John - I enjoyed all three Bentley videos. You helped me change my battery. You might list replacement part numbers (like battery) in the description under the video. Any thoughts about the air suspension? My 2007 GTC goes down in the front if I don't drive her often enough. Like a dog that wants you to walk her. Please keep up the good work. Great fun watching you struggle with defeating the obstacles Bentley designs in to keep us out of the works.

The subtle humor got me in stitches. Not for everyone.

I have a 2006 model, and will certainly be doing mine, nice example you have there too.

Still easier than the old 1.8 Turbo Audi's where the cartridge filter is next to the control arm/subframe .

love the lacquered garage floor. think ima gonna do that to mine. slip n slide while ima workin on the vehic.

Very detailed and straight to the point 👍🏽

What a fantastic garage to work in. I would give my right arm for that! Just look at the fridge!

Good Job man. Very Thorough

Great Video.!. I just Purchased a 2005 Bentley Continental GT and I so needed to see this Video to Change my Oil.!. Great Work.!.

A much simpler process for my 2001 Bentley Arnage; standard type oil filter, 10 quarts of 5w-40 full synthetic, and no jack mode to deal with. I didn't have to take off any trays to access the filter and I was able to use a standard oil filter wrench to get the old filter off. Service reset was a bit more complicated than on your GT, but I chalk that up to very dry British humor. Nice thing on the Arnage, I can turn off the park sensors with a switch located near the sunroof switch. Last weekend I tackled changing out front rotors and brake pads; not as bad as I thought it would be and everything is still working well. Nice GT, by the way; I am thinking about getting a 2007 model.

This video really helps. Thanks

The dirtiest part of the change is at the bottom of the oil filter housing.thats where heavy solids lay.

Oh man, that was painful watching you take that infernal undertray off. Invest in a portable 4 post lift. So much easier. Great video. I have a 2004 GT and find it very similar construction wise to my old Audi A6, you need to remove several items to get to a simple service item.

I don’t even own a Bentley but great job. Such a beautiful car and I can’t believe that a 2007 is $50k. They look so beefy and sexy and sleek. One day I will get one, maybe.

Because of the angle of the jacked car (high on the left side), it's likely that you still have some (up to 3 liters) of old oil remaining in the oil pan. Next time do what you did (drain old oil), slide away the drain pan full of oil, replace the drain bolt, slide in a low profile pan, remove the drain bolt, and lower the jack as much as possible to allow the remaining oil in the engine oil pan to drain out. Doing oil changes on low ground clearance vehicles isn't the most fun. Doing oil changes on my V10 F250 actually is fun.

Great video and very knowledgeable

Was thinking of getting one of these, not sure 🤔, looks like cutting a custom hole or two in that cover would be the best way to go or take the cover off then hit up Midas or Goodyear and bring your own oil and filter 🙏

John, thanks for the video. I may be picking one up shortly. I just found an amazing deal for a 2007 convertible with lower miles. I don't know how anyone could drive one of these brand-new and watch the value evaporate for no good reason.

These GTs 2005-2007 have been going for around $40K by me, and I'm curious how much I can do on my own. Very informative video. Tools needed at 9:15.

Thanks for the video. Informative. I'd like to change the spark plugs on my Bentley Flying Spur. If you have done it, it would be helpful to share.

Thanks, for another Great Bentley tip!

I never want to change my oil unless I have a lift....nah, I never want to! I can't figure out why I think this is interesting, but it is!

Good video!

When you refill, hold the can on it`s side that way it does not glug out everywhere. You should also run a bit of oil into the engine with the sump plug out . this flushes the dregs from the bottom of the sump.

John very nice video , thumbs up for u , but please make more videos and focus more on detailing , Make videos on following Service Reset All warning lights on dashboard Fuel consumption Hydraulic suspension etc

Well done my friend. Thinking of buying one myself. Two questions: 1. What year is your Bentley? and 2. Is this how you change the oil for all Bentleys up to 2015? (same tools etc) Thanks boss :-)

Perfect video ... I’ll give you a 9.5 out of 10 for not getting your CGT a nice “cone-like sippy cup” to help pour the oil !!! Lol

I love the leather shift boot you added. It is so much better than that chrysler sebring looking shifter on a 200+ thousand dollar car.

Great video. Thank you.

Very impressed John. I'm in the UK. I'm looking to buy a 13 year old Bentley Continental 4x4 for £13000. That's about $17000. Considering the quality of the engineering, it's a LOT of car, for little money.

Hey John I noticed you have a leather boot around the gear selector. Is that aftermarket? If so, I like the look and would like to switch mine out too. Love your channel and thanks Frank

What year Bentley? And thanks for that great video👌🏾

dude I assume you got a funnel for your future OC's. it also seems a little more convenient than the rolls Royce's where the windage tray is much like a gladiator's shield.... either way they should engineer service ports on them..

Thank you!! I learned a lot thank you!!!

Is the arnage oil change similar to this, the same or totally different?

Smart Man and great video 👍🏿

You also need a plastic funnel for the engine oil filler hole

Really straightforward oil change. Nice. And dealerships probably charge $150+ for an easy-peasy job.

Very useful info.

Considering the location of the drain plug and oil filter housing, wouldn't it have made more sense to lift the right wheel instead of the left ? or is there a particular reason to lift the left side ?

Do you have to hold the two buttons in to get out of jack mode? I didn't see you press them at the end of the video?

Omg thank u so much. I actually can change my oil on my Bentley instead of the $700 they wanted at the shop. Again thank u.

please where can i locate bentley old one 2001-2003 oil filter and oil drain nut?

I’ll try!!😀

nice job!

Can you do oil change on the newer Bentley? Or we cannot reset the service light on newer ones like most luxury cars nowadays?

Am thinking of buying it but am considering the servicing parts. I an advice from you. Thank you

I'm in my 70s and know why I have changed my last oil.

brilliant vid cheers sir

Wow this car takes 13 quarts of oil, well it is a W12 which is two V6 merged together. This guy just saved a nice amount of money DIY his own Bentley Continental GT VS going to the Dealership.

Do you put the car on the Jack mode when using the Ramps to lift the front. I am getting ready to change the oil on my 2007 Bentley Cont. GT with 25 K miles. the dealer want $1,100.00 to do it. thanks for your video.

Are they really reliable cars? meaning built to last. I’m looking to buy one, I really like fast cars and the inside is amazing. What’s your gas mileage like with yours?

Great show Jonh. I took my 2007 Bentley cont.gtc in for a wheel alignment . The guy told me there was no adjustment for the camber . Is this true . The car pulls slightly to the left Please advise Kind regards Brian

How about showing the steps to remove the wheel B plastic logo and the use of the two tools in the spare tool kit to remove the wheels? The manual is incoherent even though I went to college. Complicating it is there are apparently two different wheel configurations at least on my 2013 GTC.

About those sensors... welcome to parking in the city in europe. Try it for a couple of months and you understand.

Does anyone know how to do service reset on a 2012 Bentley continental GT ? Thanks.

8:13 now that it's almost done: you forgot the funnel!

you can add a funnel and may be thicker gloves like 7 or 9 mill even better. I'm thinking about getting a Bentley but still debating weather the maintenance is going to be difficult

Can i know what type of this gearbox oil is use, and want to know the another alternative of gearbox oil that are same as its original gearbox oil charectistics?

Hey wondering what happens if you turn the ignition switch to the left?

Another honest review and very close and clear(close so we can see what your doing & clear from stupid action music most people have in a review that is SO ANNOYINGLY DUMB!(@@) LOL thank you again

Great video !!! All im missing is a bentley 🧐

Hi John, how many total screws did you remove to take out the under cover? Thank you. Martinellis

Do you have to take it out of Jack mode or does that happen automatically the next time you put the car in gear?

thanks for this. do u need to put the car out of jack mode when ur done?

So close to buying my very own Bentley

No funnel? Turn the jug to it’s side. You still need to be careful or You can put the first half quart or so in a paper cup and squeeze the cup for no spill.

Nice video 🎉

I'm about to change my oil on 2006 Bentley gt how much oil dose it take thank you in advance

I have a 2016 V8S, I want to reset my service indicator ( I bought the car used from Bentley dealer in January 2020) I have only put 2500 miles on it since then.... now the service indicator light is telling me I need a service in 15 days or 5600 miles... The car runs perfect... I want to reset the service indicator until the full year (next January). I cannot find anywhere the sequence to reset this? I tried your method... but didn't work on the 2016.. any ideas? thanks

good work

Wondering, why not clean the filter body before sliding new one in? It certainly has residue of old oil, dirt in it...

I can't believe out of the 548 comments, not one person asked what size the actual socket was that you used for the oil drain plug. You literally reference everything else including the big 36mm for the oil filter, but then never mention the actual socket size for the drain plug (which could be the single most important piece lol)... And I about cringed when I saw you pouring without a funnel, but clearly that has been covered.... But I'm glad to see DIYer's like you doing this...It should give more confidence to the non mechanics in the world that this cars aren't made like space ships...they are just cars and most people can work on them...and should!!!

He didn't die. I have saved you 9 min of life. Thank me now, not later.

Reminds me of a VW oil change. Filter and the reset.

Should warm the engine prior to draining and replace copper washer on drain plug

hey why is your check engine light on lmao, and did you forget to take it out of jack mode? Last thing do you recommend this car? I plan on buying a 2006 Continental flying spur with less than 55,000 kms (around 34,000 miles) car is super clean too and has all the maintenance records. Anyways if you could let me know how owning an older Bentley is I would very much appreciate it. Also my biggest fear is these cars breaking down, especially if you daily it. Have you had any major problems with this one?

Damn I always wondered if it was any different from any other car but its literally as easy as a Honda just extra screws for the lower panel

Does the Bentley oil plug need a copper crush washer replaced or does it not have one?

Great information.
