Oil & Filter change

[glendog74]

I changed my oil and filter today as the car is at the mid-point between services and i wanted it in tip top form for the Ring/Spa trip next weekend.

This was going to be a full 'how to' with photos but i found loads of similar stuff online already. So, i have simply listed that here for others to have easy reference. I found this a very straight forward job and it took about 45 minutes to do.

It was a fair bit cheaper than a BMW oil service too:

6 Litres of Castrol Edge 10W-60 - £56.65
BMW oil filter change kit - £11.43

Here are a couple of links that i found useful:
