BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil of a BMW 3 Series

Before starting, we will have to go to open the front hood of our BMW 3 Series. Let's start by unscrewing and removing the bolt that acts as the oil top cap. After that, we will have to engage the first one and activate the handbrake, and then raise the front of the machine. We then proceed to disassemble the lower cover of the oil pan, unscrewing the relative fixing bolts. By doing so, we will have discovered the lower oil spill nut. At this point, we will have to unscrew and remove this nut, and then wait for all the oil to come out. Once the oil has completely flowed out, we will have to screw in the lower bolt and lower the machine. When we have completed this step, we will have to go to insert the new oil, and then screw the top filler cap back on, and the replacement will be completed.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
