Oil change, oil filter housing gasket replacement, CCV replacement, and dipstick tube replacement. Busy day for the X5. Took me about four hours since it was my first ofhg/ccv replacement. Someone replaced it all in 2008 with a mix of cold weather and non cold weather pieces. I was also able to keep the ccv jacket on just by trimming down a few spots.

Nice work Josh. Pretty good time too.

Would take me a lot longer to do all that... but I remove the intake to do the CCV so.

Thanks. It was easier than I anticipated. Is there a reason you take the entire manifold off?

Gorilla hands... only reason. If I try to do with it on (done it before) my hands get all chewed up and I get really pissed off.

Josh nice work, it took me about 4-5 hours as well, I didn't do the OFHG (how many miles on yours?) - Noticed my oil consumption basically go away after the CCV/dipstick tube job I did last June as well. (My parts were all original 2003 parts)

I'm sure you're glad to get the job done before the temps drop

Are you talking about baked on brake dust? You may need a mild wheel acid
