Oil + Filter Change SDrive 20D
I've always changed the oil and filter in all cars I've owned, but I have never owned BMW (nor a Euro car), so I thought I would check in with you (experts).
Is there anything I need to know? Proprietary tools I need? Type of Oil? A search for the filter required resulted in this: http://www.rycofilters.com.au/catalo...ex/part/R2780P $62 AUD from Repco Australia. Thanks. |

You can check realoem.com for filter and oil part numbers and search online by those numbers.

Dealer used to Charge $350 including Oil and Filter OR $100 if you supplied the Oil only. I supplied my own Oil. Had falling out and now will have Service from town mechanic as I'm not technical. As far as I know BMW use Shell Oils now. I use Castrol and their Tech Advisor said it was good for 2 years BUT advised to Change Every Year instead of the 2 Years BMW recommend And Also, the Oil I use and they recommend was better than BMW's were using at that time. Castrol Edge 5W-30 Fully Synthetic, Part Number OLD 3373545 - NEW 3413348, on the back of the 5 LTR. Container. Important as Suppliers use their own Numbers and it can become confusing. I usually phone nearest Dealer for Oil Filter and they Post to me. Cant find invoice for price, you could check with your nearest BMW Parts people to compare pricing/delivery. Sorry for drawn out reply but everything helps. |
