DIY Oil Change

Bmwtechgeek · 03-15-2021, 09:08 PM

Does anyone have a link to a DIY oil change video for for G11/G12?

My car is out of warranty + service so I don't mind doing my own maintenance.

If you can't find a DIY for the G11/G12...look for a DIY for a BMW that uses the same engine. In your case, the G30 5 series with the same engine as yours...will be 99% the same procedure...as well as the G05 X5 and the new G07 X7 which will be very similar as well. The oil filter will probably be in the same location (if it has the same engine as yours) and you'll probably use the same oil filter and take the same amount of oil

AMS oil website is the answer. Just put in any car and it tells you the oil type and capacity!!!!

Changing the oil is pretty much the same on any car. Just find the drain plug and the filter location.
