Anyone with a bentley manual know the torque spec of the oil pan bolts for Alex? I can't imagine they would be any more than a few ft lb, they are tiny bolts.


The oil filter housing isnt too bad of a job, just messy, you have to disonnect the PS hoses and bring the whole assembly out like the thread above, and switch the gasket off the car, much easier.
Yeah to much work for the pan. I will look into it tonight. Gotta love those sleepless nights working in the garage. I have the bentley for 3 series. same motor. maybe same specs? if anyone ever needs bentley 3 series let me know. its a pdf.
