    BMW Oil Change DIY! doityourself

    Not needed by most wrenchers but I came across it and figured It may give someone who normally wouldnt do it the needed push to give it a shot. Keeping one less set of grubby paws on their car. Especially for those that use the local oil change shop...

    Great, I need to do this soon. The oil is still clean, but I have no idea what the previous owner put in. Time to switch to OEM oil. Better to be safe then sorry

    Absolutely. My previous owner changed the oil about 4000 miles before I bought it. When I got the car home I immediately had the oil changed. I just like to know what's inside the car.

    My gearbox oil and diff oil gets changed in 1,000 miles.

    Previous owner never changed those.

    I knew it was noobsauce but I guarantee there will be some one at some point that sees it and says "Hmmm I could prolly do that"...
    There are guys out there that have never held a hammer that can tackle this, and may never try... But yeah, I hesitated before posting lol.

    Just changed the oil on a bmw for the first time, and used this DIY as a reference. Very nice step by step instructions.
