1) open cap on valve cover

3) drain pan using Allen wrench
4) remove filter cap using socket
5) replace gaskets in filter cap (3) tip, drain plug, cap
6) install new filter, tighten cap
7) replace brass washer on drain plug, install drain plug
8) add 8 quarts of oil
Sketchy I know but it really is quite simple.  |
Thank you for the walk through, I'm glad to hear it's pretty easy. Are the filter cap and the oil pan drain plug both behind plastic panels underneath the vehicle or are they exposed? And are they behind separate panels, or both behind one?
Sounds about like the E53 3.0 except the filter is underneath instead of up on top, and the filter cap has a drain.
Thanks again!
