Car needs to be at the same level (front and rear) and than when oil start to come out from a plug (when filling) it has perfect oil level, in this case it is overfilled. So anyone who plan to work on own car make sure to make it the same level, if you want to make a good job.

Torque drain plug bolt to 60 Nm or ~44 ft.-lbs.

With your pump I believe you can get it started and let gravity do the rest but you might need to detach the pump from the hose

On the e91 wagons there is a cross-member covering access to the fill plug. It can easily be removed with 5 easy to access bolts. The 3 located at the rear (1) and by the jack points (2) are 18mm sockets and the two located in the middle of the cross-member are 16mm sockets. Luckily I was doing this (and changing my shocks) with the assistance of my friend's impact gun which made this an EASY step. Wouldn't be too difficult with hand tools as long at you have a good breaker bar. Once the cross-member is removed the job is the same as in the video.

Job well done indeed homie, u got a new sub.

Good work with the fluid swap. One question though, shouldn't the car be level to get the correct amount of fluid in the differential?

It should be level for sure because FULL is based on fluid coming out. If the back is raised, excess fluid is added and this will damage your diff

If you need to jack it to work on it after fluid is refilled, put the car on the ground and let the excess fluid flow out, then jack it up again and tight bolt

Still think you should install the PA system in the e90 😉 Seriously! Great video!

have you had any issues after doing the diff swap with the rear jacked up? people are saying that it needs to be perfectly leveled to do the diff swap.

Dang that looks hard asf

After filling it do U have to let it drip till it stops before putting full plug back in?

Nice video, clear camera work and instructions. I was wondering, however, if this is enough. Would it be a good idea to take the cover off to drain in completely, clean it and remove any metal shavings from the magnet (assuming it has one)?

@JDCarsChannel

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, removing the cover entirely would be best to do a deep cleaning. The magnetic drain bolt is also a good idea.

Seen a lot of comments asking where you got that jack from. I see you replied saying you custom made it and uploaded video on how to make it. I've searched your channel and cant seem to find it. Can you post the link? It seems solid and would love to give it a go myself 👍

I have the same model. The bolt on the bottom, that’s not the drain bolt? Is that the 17mm socket you mentioned? How come you didn’t drain it instead of sucking out the fluid?

Do you have a link for that jack that you used? Not the manual jack; the one you used your power tool to raise & lower (looked like your impact gun)…

Jddddd!!!!

the oil looks good. what mileage

Hi mate, I'll try to change my Axle oil so when I pump out my old Axle oil there is only about 900-950ml(measures with 1liter bottles) came out 😂 so can I fill with new Axle oil without pump out my old Axle oil(I heard full Axle oil was 1-1.2liter?

My god? Where did you get that floor jack from? The one you linked in the description isnt the same

Hey JD, At the beginning of the video you mention that you need a 14 & 17 mm male Allen key (hex head) sockets. What was the 17mm used for? Thanks! p.s. I have a 11 335 xi and am considering a Honda Type R Civic, Just can find a dealership near me that sells them at MSRP, they all want MSRP plus thousands!

BTW I don’t think you should sell the e90! It would be so sad to see it go! Plus with its age and the miles that are on it, you probably wouldn’t get a ton for it. I’m not saying you shouldn’t get another bimmer, just suggesting that you keep the e90. I think that it would be cool to see you do a build of an M3 or M4. If you go to copart you can easily pick up an M4 between $1K-$10K. Sure they’re going to need some work, but that means PLENTY of content for the channel!

JD Cars thank god you sold that pile of crap. I have a 06 325i and a 07 335i. So sick of the constant "dyi" fun. My e36 m3? Trouble free, once in a while needs tlc. The 335i especially is a pile. Just did the oil filter housing and valve cover gasket...that was fun. 30 min job on e36, two day job on 335i including cleaning the stupid valley full of oil, impossible to reach with the cover installed That's right on the back of: hpfp, lpfp, fuel sender unit, rad, waterpump, thermostat, expansion tank and more

Think torque spec is 60 Newton-Meters, so that would be 44 ft-lbs, not 60 ft- lbs as mentioned in the video.

Where did you lift up the car from behind i know the jack stands are on the sides did you lift it up using the differential ? Ill be doing this to my wifes car ..thanks

I would fill up exactly what I drained out because the car isn't level...now its probably overfilled👍

So many studies have been soaked up so many peoples time just to find out: oil is oil is oil is oil. The differences are too minimal to care and by then it needs to be swapped again anyways. Recommend all you want, that’s fine, but your recommendation is different than BMW’s so there’s already a disconnect from the beginning.
