Couple of oil change questions
So I changed the oil myself today for the first time on my 535i (n55). I've done it a lot on Gina's and Toyotas. A couple of things /questions I have now:
1. The drain plug never really felt tight. I used a new copper washer but it just never felt tight like I'm used to. I stopped wrenching it to avoid stripping the threads. No leaks yet. Is this normal? 2. [IMG]undefined[/IMG] when I try to reset the oil reminder I don't get the menu I expected from watching a you tube video on it. Anyone know what this menu is and how to get to the "normal" one where I can reset the oil reminder? |

I'll help you with the 2nd question. Although...you generally should do due diligence in searching for the answer. It has been asked and answered many, many times.
Done! |

As far as the oil drain, I always use a torque wrench when working with oil drains. 30 ft lbs, I never noticed a different feel, but my torque wrench is rather large.
