ok,i have changed my oil last night with the one from the bmw dealer,
i have asked for 8 qt. plus a filter and the guy said ,that i need 9 qt.,so i purchased 9 qt. (also he said that the bmw oil is made by castrol)
anyway i come home change my oil ,change filter,then i check the oil it was fine,i run the x5 for 5-10 minutes,then i let it cool for few hours,comeback
checked again now with 9 qt in and if i look on the dipstick is at half way between the min and max,normally i like it to be closed to max...
but i had little problem ,after i drain the oil ,when i put the screw in ,it went in okay,for a little bit,and then it got harder little,so i put my tool on it,and turn it,and when i got to the end ,i had this filling that will not get tighten ,so i took the oil pan screw back out and then is all this small metal pices's on the screw,and i was like! what?!... i look it inside oil pan tread ,and the inside the tread was allmost gone,but more in was okay,so i got a longer bolt from kragen o'railly m12 1.50mm i put it in and all is okay now,
man they did those oil pans in a joke!,aluminium instead of metal witch is better!,
now can anyone tell me what the torque should be on that bolt?
thanks,
