Replacing the engine oil along with the used filter on your car? Let's see how to do it on a BMW X3. Open the car door and pull up the hood release lever located inside the vehicle. Lift the hood and secure it. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the large locking pin of the cap where the oil filter is located.

Remove the worn oil filter and install a new one. Raise the car on a jack and unscrew the oil pan bolt; let the fluid drain into a container. Finally, top off the engine of the X3 with new oil, using a funnel.
