BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Oil filter
Operation: How to replace the oil filter and engine oil of the BMW e90

Replacing the oil filter and the car's engine oil itself can seem like a rather complex and impossible to do on your own. It is actually simpler than you might think. Pay attention to the following steps. Stop the engine and open the front hood. At the top of the engine compartment, locate a large plug. This is precisely the oil filter. Unscrew it with a special key and remove it. Cover the entrance with a microfiber cloth to prevent dirt from entering. At this point, lift the car and proceed with the removal of the plastic cover under the engine. Locate the oil tank and completely unscrew the drain bolt. Immediately place a tray to collect the used oil. At the end, re-tighten the bolt removed previously and refit the plastic cover. Go back to the engine compartment and also fit the new filter. Pour the new oil into the tank. At this point all that remains is to close the hood.

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.
