How do you replace the motor oil of the BMW X3?

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Engine oil

To replace the motor oil of the BMW X3, you need to loosen the drain plug of the oil pan, which is located at the bottom of the vehicle: once the oil has been completely drained into a container, you can close the drain plug and remove the filter. The filter is located in the engine compartment, immediately in front of the intake manifold: it must be removed from its housing by unscrewing it and inserting the new replacement part. After the replacement, you can top up by adding the necessary amount through the oil filler cap in the engine compartment.
