Oil and Filter Removal on BMW X5

Model: BMW X5 E70 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Engine oil

Perform the oil and filter change on a BMW X5. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for access. To change the oil, remove the bolt located under the oil pan (as shown in the video) using a socket wrench. Once the bolt is removed, let the fluid drain into a container. Prepare to reinstall the bolt on the oil pan with the socket wrench. Lower the car, then remove the oil filter. Replace the filter with a new one. Refill the car with the appropriate fluid. Check the correct oil level using the dipstick.
