Very smart lady. You're saving tons of money by doing it on your own. And that way you know exactly what type of oil is in your engine. Another huge bonus is that you can then transfer that DIY approach and confidence to home repairs, which are usually way more extensive than auto repairs.

You can place some large rags (an old bath towel with the right size hole cut in the center is great) snug around the filler hole and oil filter housing to cut out any messy splashes and drips. It all helps keep the engine and bay clean(er). If your Bimmer is anything like mine, (and from what I saw, I suspect it is) it doesn't need any encouragement when it comes to distributing it's various internal fluids around the engine bay. It seems to manage do that just fine all by itself!! Thanks for posting another great video. Cheers.

Hi Tara. Thanks for all your tips so, I want to give one back to you. Don't ever give another car a jump with your 335i. It will destroy your starter which is about $1,500. About a year ago my battery was too low to start the car so I tried to jump my 335 with my other car. And it destroyed the starter. Luckily my car was still under warranty so, it did not cost me anything. And this is pretty much goes for most BMW's.

BTW..you can buy a 4 litre or 4 quart measuring jug from NAPA auto parts or some other place and it is easier to measure and pour your oil.

Tara, u used 0w40.. is this the M3 or 335i?.. I use 5w20 in the 330 but heard that I need to use 5w30 for the 335i.. I may go 0w30 just to get better flow when cold..

Hi Tara, this is a great start! I have a couple of suggestions if you don't mind(maybe you already did them behind the scenes) 1) Show us the actual jacking point for the car. 2) Jack stands should be raised and snug against the point of contacts before releasing the jack(extremely important safety precaution) 3) Back tires should be prevented from moving in even the slightest with a piece of wood or something similar. 4) Oil filter shouldn't be placed on the concrete or any dirty surface since it increases the chances of debris getting in. Don't mean to be a nit picking fuddy duddy but I don't want to see you get hurt :) PS Dinan stage 2 prices have dropped a lot! $460 bucks for N54 and 600+ for N55. I'm gonna be getting mine tuned pretty soon :)

You seem to have done your homework, good job Tara :) watched the video with quite a "critical eye" and could not find anything to complain about :) Like Tara did here it is important to fully loosen and even lift it a bit but not remove the oil filter cover first, that is because you don't want the oily filter to mess everything up on your engine bay but even more you want the oil filter housing to drain the oil inside it down to the oil pan and this only happens after you have lifted the cover a bit so those O-rings are free. Now after doing this job Tara, think about how easy this job would be on a lift :P

Good vid. The only thing I'd suggest for next time or other people, is to use a jack stand with a flat top, and buy some generic jack pads made for BMW's. They're cheap. They fit inside those blocks where you supported the car, and saves them from getting crushed. Also, I always chock the wheels, even with the e-brake on.
