What engine oil do you use in your gas E70?
Quote:
You can just remove a couple of bolts for the brackets on the oil lines around the subframe by the front diff and it will give you enough room to use a regular long 3/8 socket extension bar with an allen ext. I didn't have any issues. You will be going straight thru from the wheel well side, will need to remove couple of the smaller plastic covers for better access as well. Also, you will never regret purchasing a set of these if you don't already have something similar http://www.amazon.com/WC100-Metric-Wrench-Connectors-6-Piece/dp/B007QV5WG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1462251879&sr= 1-1&keywords=ez+red+Wrench+connection+metric Last edited by MAK3N3; 05-03-2016 at 01:06 AM. |

I ended up using my 14mm hex bit with a box end wrench guided into the fill plug from the wheel well with the help of an extension. I'm getting one of these for next time: |

This is the stubby hex bit set I have, worked just fine with my 3/8 extension. I got it cheaper at Northern Tool but seems like they don't carry it anymore.

Am I the only one that goes tot he dealership and pays my $90 and have them do it for me every 7000 miles? Its synthetic oil and they use the BMW filter. It seems more cost effective for me to do it there then spend 75 plus shipping and then deal with changing it and disposing of the oil.

The last couple of times my mechanic used Wolf Synthetic 5w-30. I had some work done that required an oil change. (Weeping oil pan) I will be changing mine every 5000 miles. I have read and seen pic's about the sludge issue with longer intervals. When I first bought "Helga", I changed the oil and put in a bit of Kreen to make sure her innards were clean. Then after that, nothing but Castrol or Wolf. I like Rotella T6. Used it in my Audi and it was great. Going to switch over to that or Castrol exclusively.

How in the hell do you do that? Especially with 7 quarts of oil?
