BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Car engine oil replacement

The frequency of oil changes depends on the use you make of your car. Usually, this maintenance is done by a professional mechanic, but you can also do it on your own. First, the car must be raised with a jack. The cap of the oil pan must then be unscrewed to let the used oil out. While it will be possible to remove, with a spider wrench, the oil filter located in the front part of the car. Once the oil flow is finished, we can proceed with the assembly of the new filter that we have purchased on our car.
