BMW G80 M3 (2023) Oil Change | MOTUL | DIY | 4K

We finally got our 1200 mile break in service done! As most of you know, this service entails an oil change, as well as differential fluid flush. BMW's choice of oil for the S58 is 0W-30, which is not a weight we are a fan of running in our M3.

This video was not made to spark a debate over what oil is better/worse - our decision to run Motul 5W-40 X-Cess is exactly that - our personal decision. This video was made to document the process of changing the oil on your S58!

You'll need the following
32mm socket (3/8" or 1/2'' with extension) - For oil filter cap
E6 Socket - (1/4") - For screws that fasten expansion tank
17mm socket (3/8" or 1/2") - For engine drain plug
Flathead or pick - To remove o-ring's on filter/cap
Oil Filter (Genuine BMW or Hengst)
7 Quarts of your preferred oil
Funnel & Oil Drain Basin
Shop rags

It's a relatively simply process that entails about 20 minutes of your time. Everything went smooth besides dropping half a liter of Motul all over the shop floor! OH! - And we found a nail in the right front tire. All good though, she's not leaking yet!

It’s a shame the oil filter is in the back now compare to the previous gen BMWs.

Great work!

[speeddonors]

Awesome that you do everything yourself and show us the process🤩

[pietropietros]

Motul is very fine oil, you choose right viscosity too. Perfect oil for this beast. Good work

Great video! It was so difficult to find info about m3 g80 oil specs on the Internet.

[Benmu]

Great video. Nice too see why people are complaining about the filter location. LOL

[godunovs]

Great video! You had to lift it up again to torque the drain plug and put the cover back on. And to clean that spill, drain the used oil, throw the trash out. From my experience, it's never 30 minutes, but it always feels good. I never worked on that engine, but it seems like tons of fun. Also, will it be easier to reach the oil filter housing if you take the braces and the engine cover off?

The Motul containers are in Liters not Quarts. I do think the BMW Service Manual says the S58 takes 7L of oil but other sources online say 6.5L or whatever equivalents in quarts. As it appears, as long as you're roughly in the ballpark, the digital gauge in the car doesn't seem to display a different level when between 6.5L or 7L.

Nice walk-through video!

Thinking about switching my g82 to xcess 5-40 on my next 5k oil change, how's the car liking the viscosity change? Great DIY btw!

El mercado comercial es inestable y no es fácil saber si se está volviendo alcista o bajista. Mientras mis colegas y yo operamos sin miedo ni pérdidas ni ganancias, otros están siendo pacientes para que el precio se dispare. Todo depende del patrón que sigas. Pude acumular muchas ganancias 11.5 BTC cuando comencé en 4.7 BTC mientras usaba un comerciante experto, el Sr. Chase Braxton.

Pro tip. Turn the bottle so the opening is at the top. You get air and fluid moving at the same time.

What made you choose Motul instead of LiquiMoly? I always hear of people using LM for BMWs but I'm wondering if Motul is a better choice for wear protection.

[gkclarke]

You are so right to use 5w 40 Ellie. 0w 30 turns to water after a 1000 miles! keep up the great videos!!

[Eldomibori]

They put the filter back there on purpose for the sake of being difficult to access. I just know it. Glad mine is on the front in my N55. Great video by the way!

[RubberSideDown]

What size e-socket are those 2 screws for the expansion tank? Please and thank you.

Edit: read the description. 🙃 says e-6

[sunsetwater]

just a tip..Oil your O ring n washer next time on the oil filter!

[a_six_g_c]

You have the wrong oil. You need oil with BMW longlife 04 approval and not with Longlife 01. Approved oils are 0W30, 5W30, 0W40 and 5W40 with BMW Longlife 04.

[fletcherwright]

Sweet 👍 0w-40 would be a better alternative 😉

[ferocious_m]

Can you tell me step by step how you check the oil level I have the i8 screen too thanks

[mbusonkabinde]

Did you really have to change oil. It still looks so clean and good.

[TJZTechShow]

How do you reset the oil life indicator? Can’t figure it out on iDrive 8
