BMW 340i Oil Change DIY ( STOP WASTING MONEY AT DEALERSHIP)

My family and I are going on a long road trip to Las Vegas (21 hours) I decided to change my own oil before the long road trip to make Sure my car was good to go. In this video I will show you how to change the oil in your B58 from start to finish. Save money by doing it yourself! Affiliate Links below

Your DIY tutorials are always so clear, concise and refreshing to watch. I got a 328i but still watched just out of curiosity.

Just picked up a 340 so I appreciate your content frfr

Idk why but when you said Vegas I smiled super hard

Congratulations on your new assignment

I have a 320M sport pack G20 with B48B20A, stage 2 (270whp and 450Nm), 105 RON E25 (Premium) . So I decide to use a 5w40 LL01 8100 Motul gen2. No issues so far 😊

Yo how long should I warm up my f30 340i with the 5w30 oil. Currently I’m on 0w20 but I want to switch it up. And I live in Cali since temp makes a difference.

First remove drain plug then the oil cap it will be less of an explosion!

I live in a cold area and running tune stage 2, should i use 5w30 or 0w20? What is the difference? Thank you for the great content my man!

Congratulations on your move. Why Vegas?

Loved the video bro 🙏🏻 Going to try doing an oil change change on my own next times it’s due

[Isaacmgang]

Do u need to replace o ring and washer every change ?

[limabeemer]

Where would you dispose the old oil bro? Is there a specific place to do so?

Why for 0-20 oils? Its because of all of the modern engines are designed and their transmissions are to keep the engine's RPMs under 2k at all times when normal driven. Note this, this is the key to all of the answers about 0-20 oils and oils in general.
All of the modern car engines have short and light pistons not to be compared with anything that was made in 90s, they figured that if to reduce a piston height they reduce weight and therefore the back flow recoil movement and with it increase efficiency overall.
Sounds great on paper, but wait, read.
Understood you may race once or twice a week for a brief moment but most of the time your 2020 car spends the most time running under 2k RPM.
Why is this important?
Because when you drive normally your transmission keeps the RPM low to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy but with it the actual PRESSURE on the piston is MUCH HIGHER than on the older engines that done the same but at 2-3 k RPM in stead of 1 - 2k while coasting down street.
That increased pressure combined with already light and short piston height causes the piston to wear the cylinder walls way faster than it would be on the older vehicles due to the natural change of the piston's geometry under stress.
To combat that they had to reduce the spacing between the cylinder wall and the piston, that reduced the side movement of the piston but because of such micron sizes, they needed a much thinner oil. That is how 0-20 was introduced to mainstream automotive, and it already existed in the motorcycle world.
If you put a thicker oil in the engine, it will act best under high temp stress but in a normal driving day to day, that I assume most of you do 90% of the time it will actually harm the engine.
BMW Engineers arent stupid.

Its not that expensive bruh. Matter of fact coupon special this week to get 50$ oil change

[Mike]

I just pay my mechanic $20.
You gotta buy the oil anyways
