Agreed. And I think I've seen them all. The worst is FCP Euro's. He practically removes the whole front end and manifold area.

Plenty of videos out here on KZread but this is probably the best. Thanks a ton!!!

Thank you for a great tutorial! I’ve messed up that bottom oil filter housing screw pretty badly and ended up welding a nut on it to get it out… To anyone reading this before the job, buy that flat E10 key and save yourself from my mistake!

Thank you very much for such detailed instructions! 👍🙏

Amazing demonstration

I've watched several videos on this procedure. This is hands down the best one for doing the least amount of work minus the oil drain. One guy just loosens the oil filter cap and removes the oil inside with rags. No oil drain is necessary unless you want to change your oil. I like that you only emptied the coolant expansion tank, too.

Few weeks back I replaced it on my N54 E61, I followed the same steps and changed both gaskets. Thank you for sharing this! This was very very useful and helped to save a lot of time on unbolting unnecessary parts.

Thanks to your awesome step by step video. I was able to tackle 2 jobs (replaced 2 pulleys, tensioner, serpentine belt and both of the oil filter housing gaskets) at the same time. I totally recommend doing both if you already have the fan removed. 👍

Can I ask why you needed to drain the coolant?

@Zeiten

Жыл бұрын

If you want less mess empty the expansion tank, major coolant channel runs through oil filter housing

did you re-use the aluminum bolts or did you get replacements?

Thanks for the video, very helpful. I was just curious that do i need to prime the oil after doing this? I heard the camshaft could blow up if I don’t do it

Totally fine to reuse oil filter housing bolts, as well as valve cover bolts(n51/52 plastic valve cover) or water pump bolts, the only bolts that are worth replacing are on metal n52 valve cover and sometimes oil pan bolts

Hello, I replaced my oil filter housing gaskets but still have a heavy leak when the car is under pressure. Its leaking directly under the housing and splattering everywhere. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks

dont use an 8mm spanner for the lower housing bolt by the thermostat. Just use an E10. rounded my bolt using an 8mm as carefully as i possibly could. save your time and just get an e10

@qwertyuio847

Personally I’ve tried the e10 method but to no avail due to the socket being too long. Stuck with the 8mm method, although very slow, did the job. Where’d you get the socket to fit the space the radiator hose and the bolt head? Unless you did take off the radiator hose on the left of the housing?

Well you’ll have to disconnect coolant hose (2 10mm bolts) most likely it will break so be ready for it, then hammer in the e10 socket on stripped bolt and you should be fine

@Zeiten

Well it is just a regular screw with a bit different head so any method for extracting any other screw will work, the danger is that it is all aluminum surrounding it so you have to be very careful if you want to drill it out, oil filter housing is aluminum as well as the head

Is it necessary to drain the oil from the motor? I just changed it. Amazing tutorial btw!

It doesn't say in the Bentley service manual for the housing. However, there is a general guide in front that specifies 24Nm max for 8mm bolts. Seems a bit excessive, so used 12Nm, or 8ft lb. Wanna make sure we don't squeeze the gasket too tight.
