Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Engine oil

Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. Unscrew the oil filler cap and, using a socket wrench, unscrew the cap of the oil filter container (cartridge filter): remove the old filter and insert the new one, also replacing the o-ring on the cap. Next, open the lower cover protecting the drain plug of the oil pan, and after placing a suitable container under the pan, unscrew the plug and complete the draining of the used oil; once finished, screw the plug back in and close the cover. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the owner's manual. Complete the service by checking (and topping off if necessary) the power steering fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid levels.
