Change out the N55 Oil Filter Housing Gasket on your BMW with the least amount of mess in the shortest amount of time. While you’re at it, might as well upgrade to the Mosselman thermostat, but first let’s see if it delivers on what it promises during the test drive after replacing the oil cooler gaskets as well.

I upgraded my thermostat with Mosselmann. Paired with MHD sport cooling mode. Now my engine operating temperature are: coolant from 85 to 90 Celsius, oil from 93 to 104 Celsius degrees. Before that coolant was 105 and oil 118 Celsius deg. This mod improve the life span of all gaskets and timing chain tensioners. I am mechanical engineer but not an engine designer, just my concern is about lowering temperature will thighs tolerance between pistons and liners. main goal of bmw designer has been set this temperature so high for emission homologation and fuel economy.

@kencorwin8341 4 ай бұрын

As I noted on your other OFH housing gasket video, the problem with using the 12-point ratchet on the E-torx bolt head is that it easily strips the bolt head and makes it much tougher to remove. Much, much tougher. Hours of tougher. If that bolt head gets stripped, your estimated 90-minute hour gasket replacement job becomes quite an ordeal, given how already-difficult it is in the first place to reach that bolt and get leverage on it. So, when you get to the point that you’re about to remove that small bolt, first disconnect and move aside the cylinder head temperature sensor and the hose just beneath that sensor. These are located at the front of the engine, just to the left of the OFH. When you pull the sensor clip, do it **carefully** as the clip can fly away, it’s not secured around the sensor. The adjacent coolant hose is attached to the engine via two simple 8mm bolts; just be firm but always gentle when pulling any hose. With these out of the way, you can fit a proper ratchet wrench with E-torx socket onto that very soft bolt head and avoid stripping it.

@TheHunterHofman Жыл бұрын

Good content, Fritz. I'm just not sure about the thermostat's purpose. It does lower the running temps when driving normally, because it opens earlier. However, the oil used in our cars is designed to be used at 105 - 115 degrees Celsius, meaning that there isn't an issue in the first place, right? It feels a bit like creating a solution for a problem that isn't there. So if you then track the car, this thermostat won't save you either, because it does not improve the flow of the oil to the oil cooler. On track it does exactly the same as an OEM oil cooler (apart from opening slightly earlier, slightly delaying your oil getting (too) hot). A more viable option would then be to get a larger oil cooler so that more volume of oil can be cooled, or work on improving the flow to the oil cooler. What are your thoughts on this? Again, great video and look forward to the next one.

@FritzRamos Жыл бұрын

Thanks and that was my train of thought before installing it but after testing I think perhaps there's additional passages or wider channels in the MSL thermostat that allow it to sustain those lower temps. All that is unofficial, but I can't think of another it achieves the sustained lower temps. If you have another idea I'd love to hear it. As far as lowering the running temps, I was thinking that any heat above operating temps is excessive and can cause additional stress on gaskets and plastic components so reducing that would be beneficial to the other components. However someone brought up a good point of the excessive heat being used to prevent gunk build up on the intake valves so I suppose it has it's ups and downs. There definitely needs to be more testing over a longer period of time. As things progress I'll be sure to share my findings.

@richardggeorge Жыл бұрын

Unlike the Keis Motorsport version of the same instructional video (which is 37min long!) you stated with the most important step FIRST, i.e. pulling the low pressure fuel pump fuse and running til it stalls. Don't want to lunch your engine! Edit: not sure if you want oil/coolant temps below 90degC for prolonged periods though as this may increase friction in your engine. This might be more of a track-only mod.

Thank you, but I did have the privilege of watching Bryan's video and making some changes and applying it to this project.

I suppose as things progress I could make an update video.

Hey Fritz! I did this job today whilst following your step by step instructions. I double, triple checked that the car would not start after pulling Fuse 165. Took about 2.5hrs to complete both gaskets and bleed the coolant, and just as I was about to prime the oil circuit for the first time, the car started after a few cranks! I was shocked as the fuse was still out! I immediately turned it off thinking there might have been some residual fuel in the lines, but it started again without the fuse and continued to run without it being plugged back in! Did this happen to you by any chance? Fingers crossed everything turns out ok! Thanks again for the video. It's been a great resource!

I have a 2016 435xi that started leaking a significant amount of oil from the thermostat to the point the engine started smoking and the ECU spat out a Drive Train failure. The belt did not slip. luckily I was in my driveway. Please keep in mind I did pull the fuse mentioned in the video however I did not even get a full minute in as I started panicking. My question is, should I just drain the rest of the oil or top It off after installing the new Mosselman thermostat based on the fact that I did not get a full minute in. I understand this might be a duhh question but do not want to risk anything.

Please keep in mind it lost a significate amount of oil for what its worth. Still suggest to top it off or am I risking it by draining and full service? Regardless of toping it off or full service should I plug in the fuse before starting the car? Please keep in mind the car ran as stated less then 30 seconds with the fuse pulled, from there the car has yet to be turned on. Sorry If I caused any confusion, the failed part was the original gasket. The new new Mosselman thermostat came in today, waiting for a new belt and pully as there was a lot of oil on it and well, I am there already might as well.

@@77cvalle77 If you have the car in a safe place I wouldn't turn it over until the job is done. Keep the fuse out I would start by cleaning the engine bay of any oil and dirt that leaked and be very thorough. Then do the thermostat and gasket job. Third I would do the oil change but pour 1-2 quarts directly in to the oil filter housing and observe for leaks. This is be very tedious and time consuming as you can only add in a little bit of oil at a time. If you're leak free, then change out your belt, tensioner, and pulley. Once the car is ready to run, try to turn it over twice with the fuse OUT. Then you can put back in the fuse and you should be alright Just check for leaks as the car is running.

@FritzRamos 20 күн бұрын

I suppose you could, I don't think it would be bad if you do. On the opposite side, if you have oil on your hands and it gets on the gasket you don't necessarily need to wipe it off. O-Rings in a oil change get spun in and rub against the housing until it's fully seated. So the priming them with oil helps reduce friction to prevent tearing or ripping. The gaskets in the oil filter housing are just pressed in so it's less critical to prime them. At least that's how I thought about it, but if you find more information please share it.
