At 16:55 when Bryan explains checking the transmission fluid level, he meant to say "fill plug" rather than "drain plug." You will use the fill plug to both fill and check the level. DON'T take out the "drain plug" after adding fluid or it will all pour out on the ground lol.

I love your videos man don’t ever stop please 😂 convinced me to get a 340i and I did! 5 months of ownership and I still binge your videos from time to time. Many thanks from Vancouver Canada!

Man I'd pay good good money if someone like Bryan can do all of this to my F30😢 Extremely hard to find someone like him in the UK, they all seem to treat your car like shit lol But another fantastic video and the quality just seems to get better and better ❤

This video came out awesome! It was so detailed and well done, great job abbe! So proud of all your hard work and the time you dedicate to your craft.

Been following your channel since the beginning and it’s still one of my favorites. Clean, informative and relaxing. Love the new 3 series, enjoy and keep up the good work @Justin!

Great job to you and Brian this is awesome stuff especially the way you record and explain things it makes everything much easier and I am pretty sure many people are going to find this helpful

Awesome BMW content as always, Justin. Thank you.

It's always great to see these two guys together. BMW should pay them for adding to the culture ❤

Just came across your videos. I just bought a 2012 F10. A lot of what you do is the same for mine. Great info, man. First BMW for me. Loving it so far.

Great job fellas. The detailed instructions are definitely helpful 🙏🏾

Amazing video, thanks guys. I've just bought a bmw 1 series 2.0 118d sport 5dr 2013(bag's of fun) your video is very informative. Appreciate your time 👍🏼👌

Thank you for this simple guide here with Bryan O´Conner! 😎😎

Hey guys, just bought a M240i used, first registered Jun 2019. And it also has the B58 engine in, with the same setup for coolant reservoirs as you have. The main engine coolant reservoir was a little low on coolant so i got some from BMW yesterday (green for 2019 on) and a syringe and tubing to sample the reservoir since i could not actually tell if the coolant in there looked the same (some folks will use non BMW stuff, so best to check before adding). The coolant in the main engine reservoir was yellow, so not the green coolant BMW stated is used in B58s from 2019 on. It is clear and clean looking with no residues or particles evident (good news as i believe if there was oil from engine or transmision it would not be, similarly if there was a rust problem) and interestingly if you pass light through it at right angles to viewing direction it is bright green like the proper coolant. Would you say this colour change can happen to coolant over time where it will change colour like this? And also, being as the reservoir for the intercooler (smaller reservoir) contained green coloured coolant and was at the correct level, i assume the two systems are completely independent of one another, am i correct?

Life saver! Clear, concise, and professional. Thank you!

Such a good resource!

I have learned so much from you. Started watching you when I was 20 now I am 27 and I just recently bought a BMW and started working on the car doing maintenance 🫶

This is the best video on KZfaq hands down thank you guys for your honesty and your detailed explanation I appreciate it and you earned a new sub!

What a joy to watch! Thanks!

thanks guys, very useful video.

Hey Justin! I saw you at the Woodward dream cruise! I was in my black e90, a 2011 328xi. I tried to message you off my moms instagram because I don’t have it. I was driving one lane over and you were 1 car length ahead of me for almost 5 minutes! Your videos are super helpful getting to know my car. I turned 16 beginning of august so it’s my first car, and the first car I personally bought!

Nice 👍🏼 ! Thanks ! 👊🏼

Great video guys!

Love this video!

thamks so much for this info on thre b58 every fluid change.A+

Great vid!!!! Thank you both!

Very well done yet again bro. Cleanest (and most well maintained) F30 on YT 😎

Great video, this is the collab we all needed. For xDrive cars, the only additional fluids would be front diff and transfer case fluid, correct?

Great video. I always spray brake cleaner to remove brake fluid off of the calipers after I am done bleeding brakes as brake fluid can ruin paint

I would love to see fluid changes on G05 X5. Thank you for the great video..

@15:25 Great work but don't forget to change the Mechatronic Connector Sealing Sleeve, it's important and it's easily accessible with the pan off.

I never seen justin doing something that I don’t agree with ‘ this guy is in top of his game ; these are the best products you can get to make your car live longer

Amén , the video i was waiting thanks

Very instructional video👏

Best BMW diy guy.

you guys are amazing :)

love the vids, if only I had a full garage of toys to do the job myself.

Heck yeah, I know this is already great 5 seconds in!

Great Video, Informative Content! I've been a great fan of your videos from day 1. Everybody needs a great friend like Bryan. 2013 328i XDrive owner.

JB!!! Awesome video

Before filling differential oil, we need to shake the oil bottle to mix everything evenly inside. Otherwise, friction adjustment will differ, and it ends up chattering

Great video. Thanks. Very helpful. Question about the coolant - what if you don’t have a pressure bleeder? Is it the typical ‘leave the cap off and let the car idle for 15 minutes so it can believe itself’?

love the sound effects with the coolant hoses 🤣🤣😂

Kinda unfair using the coolant filling machine. As many ppl doesn’t hav this expensive tool and want to do it the diy way. Show us how to do it without that machine

Hi Justin, great video. Any opinion on the Ceratec Brian added after a few months driving? Interested to protect my 340i too!

Great video. Ceratec: some people recommend adding it before the oil. Might not matter.

Hey, thanks for the video! Any specific level of preasure for the new brake fluid? Thanks.

Is that applicable the liqui moly Atf to bmw e90 318i 2010?

PERFECT TIMING

Do you add the exact same coolant to both cold and hot fill sections? And do you go to the max or go for the middle of min and max fill? Love the videos very helpful!

Excelente video y pocos te explican que debes de cambiar el aceite del diferencial y la transmisión y me podrías ayudar cada cuantas millas se debe revisar o cada que tiempo se debe hacer el cambio

Awesome video Justin, the crazy part about this project is it will be obsolete in a few years with EVs. This will truly only be a passion project in the near future. We are in a sea change environment in the auto industry.

I have a 330i and I love it love bmw and is the best

In about 1000 miles im due for a oil change. So for my 2014 228i RWD Coupe, I ordered 5w30 Schaeffer's Advanced European Performance. The BMW dealership said originally the weight was 5w30, but changed it to 0w30. I said screw it im gonna keep it 5w30. Schaeffer's been around since 1839.

The pillsbury laughs got me lol. Love your videos. They’re so chill to watch and learn to!

The collab we love to see, time after time! Great Vid, very helpful indeed!

Bro your content is 🔥 af

It would be nice to see the transfer case done too

I just got a 2024 530i, also factory filled with 0w20. I felt it was a bit to thon. I asked the BMW dealer, and the service dept. they told me tgat they use 0w30 after 60k to 70k high mialeage. However I could request to use 0w30 on my next pil change and they would no prob. They said the ow30 provides more protection, , but the 0w20 is for better fuel economy. Then I asked if I could use 5w30, and they said I could, and they have it, but 0w30 flows better. I'm in Miami. Not sure where you guys are at, perhaps the extreme heat we have here , BMW has different fill options. I personally prefer the 0w30

Really great videos, I love all of your content. And this is very good as a walkthrough, even for us who is used to mechanical work. Just easier to be prepared with tools etc, instead of going out to check what I need. I love how meticulously you are doing it. But as a request, please use gloves. Hands is really hard noticing it but I’ve had oil splashing other parts, like legs. It’s not many minutes before the oil actually gets absorbed into the skin. I lost a grandfather because of cleaning and rebuilding engines with hands in diesel and kerosene and oil all day long. So please stay safe and make more good work👌🏽

Hey Justin, how many miles did your 340i have when you decided to change all the fluids out? I have an '18 230i with 45K miles, when do you recommend I change mine? I drive about 5k miles a year. Thank you and love your vids!

What does a complete fluid change like this cost I'm wondering? Also what about power steering fluid or is that still good? Awesome video as always. Definitely the best BMW youtuber out there

Try a cover and a polish for headlights

BMW factories use ZF 8hp fluid in their transmission. You have added luqui molly which differs from ZF. BMW warns that mixing a different fluid can cause damage to the transmission. That’s why I ordered ZF. What do you think about that? Because couple litres old oil was left in transmissions anyway.

Which coolant hoses to change out and when? 😊

Do one of these for for e90

Just I need a head unit upgrade for my 2015 335i what is your best recommendation?

I have a G20, looking to do all the maintenance you just did can I use these same products?

Great video as always. What would you estimate was the cost to replace all the fluids? I see the transmission pan and tools probably added around $5-600+ . So maybe around $1000 total to get all these changed out?

Awesome video. Been looking at 340is for the past year and the plan is to get on in December. Any comments about what tools I should start to accumulate? This will be my first real project car and I’m not sure what I need!!

Hey Justin....may i ask if Bryan do an F85 2018 Dieefrential and transmission oil change? Thanks.

Do you recommend doing a trans service at 120k? Don’t know the service behind the zf8hp

Question my 2007 328i just had the brake fluid light come on but it’s full, does this mean it has to be flushed and replaced. Also would it stop squeaking when I brake or is that brake pads ?

What oil i need for my 335i 2013 xdrive

Doesn't pulling a vacuum tend to crush in some parts like radiators? If we suck the air out of a thin metal can, it will crush in... I'd hate to see a radiator deform itself same way..

How many quarts of trans fluid did you end up putting in after draining it?

Thank you for the amazing instructions!! How often should coolant be flushed? Dealership said 100k miles lifetime fluid. How often should engine oil be changed? Dealership said every 10k miles.

Is ATF1800 better than zf transmission oil? Also . Service advised me to drain about half only and add fresh oil. ? I get confused

Hey guys do you think the transmission service only can be done in a garage with jacks and stands without a lift? It’s pretty involved but I wanted to swap out the transmission pan and I’m due for a fluid change also Ty

What about blinker fluid?

After watching/reading various how tos regarding the transmission refill, apparently, after carrying out the procedure in the video one should either add 0.5 ltr extra of oil, or, run the transmission until the transmission cooler opens (75°C), then let the trans cool back down to 40°C, and recheck level. Obviously this depends on whether or not a cooler is fitted.

My question is, when you change the oil like this and don't put it on a machine to pump it out, do you get all of the old oil out of the system?

Dude this is what KZfaq car scene is missing. ALL IN ONE. Next can you show some other topic? Like checking for parasitic battery drain or diagnosing/fixing electrical stuff like sunroof with a mind of its own or comfort access not working, replacing stuff like handles, clips, fenders etc would be very helpful.

If I only had a lift…

@justine, thank you for this video, well presented. Please, I have a question, @3:31 after the engine oil, Cebatec was added. What is the purpose of adding Cebatec?

Great vibe on your video! Do you allow less oil total intake capacity for the Ceratec, meaning instead of adding let's say 7 quarts of oil, do you add 6.5 and the Ceratec for a total of 7?

Dealer starting to see oil pump failures on b58… tech said ALWAYS use oem bmw filter because common thread on failures seems to be aftermarket filters that may starve oil or be too much drag on flow…

Hey Justin, thanks for another great video! I'm about to service the transmission of my 2018 BMW M240i X-drive and I bought a ZF pan & filter with 7 Liters of Liqui Moly Top Tec 1800 ATF. But now I'm hesitant to go with Liqui Moly because there will be about 2 liters of the factory ZF fluid left behind and I'm concerned about mixing them. Am I correct in assuming this is what you did and if so, have you noticed any changes in the performance of the transmission?

Will Mobil 1 work for the bmw bc I've Been googleing and researching the oil and in sewing a lot of different oils

Hi Justin, My F34 ,b48 engine is mixing oil with coolant in water reservoir. I have replaced oil filter housing but is still mixing. Could it be transmission cooler?

There should be a class action lawsuit against BMW (& other manufacturers) for saying that the transmission fluid doesn’t get changed because that’s total crap (like my transmission). My 2009 BMW 1 series 128i convertible has transmission issues and only 116k miles. The previous owner never changed the fluid per BMW and now it shudders in 4th & 5th gears when I drive it in full automatic mode. If I manually shift it drives fine with no shudder. If there has been a schedule to change the fluid and the previous owner had it done this most likely wouldn’t be a problem. Now I’m screwed with a transmission that is not going to last very long. It’s a crime to not have a schedule to maintain it. I read up on this and found that there is no coolant flush, or trans flush, or diff flush or fuel filter that is scheduled by BMW. That’s criminal on the part of BMW. No wonder BMWs have so many issues. I’m sick of auto makers misinforming customers on these maintenance issues. BMW should be forced to either replace transmissions that have issues like mine or replace the entire car. Won’t ever buy another BMW ever again. Oh and good luck selling my car without replacing the transmission!

What do I do if my brake fluid reservoir is completely empty? (No Leak, just had to drain it because calipers were replaced)

What was the reason to go back to 0w20?

What about blinker fluid

Love the videos. I need help on picking an intake manifold for my mkv supra with lowest IAT's data. For a 650hp tune

Any recommendations on intervals for brake fluid change. B58 2019 F36 GC

Leveller?

How’s the B58 engine holding up? Is the plastic oil housing holding up? Did you replace it with aluminum?

I have a 2017 430 and bought some blue coolant because I got a warning light on for low. However I'm aware that they started using green coolant so if the dealership topped off my blue coolant with green coolant would I need to use green or blue to top off? I read that you can use green in blue but not blue in green so I'm a little confused if I should add blue or green even though the car originally came with blue. I just topped off with some water for the time being.

power fluid?

Xdrive or bust my guy, where is the transfer case and front diff fluid change procedure!
