Whats up with the poseur label? Oil weight and bearings clearances go hand in hand No, it's not that. Especially with a major issue like rod bearings lurking in the back of your mind. Greg - Thanks for posting. No need to go overly tight on any of these parts. It wasn't just an issue of viscosity. Saw a request for this. The handwritten notes shown include torque values.
Thanks to its premium blend of synthetic oil and additives, this oil continues to provide protection under even the harshest conditions and is perfect for both street cars and cars that see occasional track use. If the system were secondary, that's fine, but why do away with the dipstick? For anyone changing the oil I suggest putting in 8L and then checking your oil level indicator afterward. I believe factory specs are all around 30nm, I just do hand-tight. I used ramps at the rear, and jacked the front fromt the central jack point and supported the front on jack stands at the suspension arm pivot points. That seems really high, but that's the cheapest I could find it. Well that didn't take long. I read on an invoice it's 9 liters but just want to make sure.
Oil Change how-to for the E9X M3. Oil weight and bearings clearances go hand in hand It's not about the brand moreso the weight. It's not about the brand moreso the weight. Oil weight and bearings clearances go hand in hand 10W60 is much more common that you think it is. What size socket is needed to remove the drain plugs? When I changed the oil myself and put it in it took less than 8.
If it had a disptick there would be no question. The o-ring at the top is tricky, will probably required a flathead to get it off. After doing exactly above, I raced the next day with zero issue. Use that if you want, but that does not account for the little bit of oil that gets left in the motor. Drive the car around a little and check the electronic dipstick to make sure the car is happy! The bottom o-ring is much easier. The drain plugs are reusable if they are in good shape, which mine were.
Unit has a vacuum release button for quick and easy release. If you were just driving this oil will be very hot, take care not to get burned. But i can understand peoples concern though. Update 8 years later: Use 25 Nm for the drain plug. .
I let the dealer do the 1200 mile service because of the power requirement for transmission fluid change, so I have not changed my own oil yet. I am planning on it at 5000 miles, along with a Blackstone oil analysis. You still haven't figured that out yet? I've heard parts guys giving the techs a liter more than what's really needed. This ensures your vehicle continues to perform flawlessly, running longer and cleaner! Do your research before you take your car apart. Two different diameter extracting tubes are included to suit your particular application. The oil filter I purchased included 2 crush washers for both drain plugs and two rubber o-rings, one for the top portion of the oil filter housing and one for the housing threads. God help you should such disparities puzzle you.
If it is on the low side I recommend putting in only 0. The car was low enough that I had to drive it up some wood planks for going up the ramps: Open hood. Does anyone know the exact amount of how many liters of 10w-60 are needed? It's not a socket, but a 6mm hex. I will post it if I can bust out of work to get my manual, unless someone beats me to it. Which turbo engines is this label trying to hint at? Close it all up and the car should be all set after that.
Unfortunately, no dipstick here so I just add 9 and measure out exactly 0. I don't disagree on the oil markup though. The car always seems to run better after an oil change--pyscholocical, I know, but it makes you feel good. Big difference between a single stainless steel pipe and true dual titanium. Once a mechanic see's that badge on the hood, instant 50% markup at minimum! It's that plastic knob in the second photo, midway between the front and rear sumps. Oil filter kit part number is 11 42 7 837 997. No one else can be to blame right? Titanium is also more than twice the cost of stainless steel, and the manufacturing process is more expensive.
