Which oil filter wrench.
Not having much luck with dealers and can't wait a while for job to be done so decided to do my own oil/filter change.
I'm trying to find the suitable oil filter wrench and so far it's all a miss affair. I know they are 86mm and 16 flats but can't get a definite reply from some retailers.Anyone know what is the correct tool for these and where from? Thanks. |

Ive got a choice of two hydraulic jacks also not ramps but flat wide pieces of wood that will be stable platform resting the car on the wheels.
Got message now that my dealer is now open but just have to wait too long for service so its this way. |

Oil change done safely.
After doing the oil/filter change with the front wheels rested on flat wooden blocks so no danger of car falling off jack/axle stands. The BMW filter wrench tool fitted perfectly and unscrewed slowly to let the excess drain off slowly before removing or oil will go all over the place, the new filter clicks into place.
It takes about 1.5 hours to drain off completely so not a quick job, then to finish an electronic level check on flat ground with engine running in N topping up to full mark. The rear diff oil was done 8k miles ago so not needed for a while. |
