Oil Change easy

Today performed oil change on Helgahh.

Purchased Helgahh from Carmax with 3300 miles now has 7140, was told that an oil change was performed but unlikely by the color and condition of oil filter. Oil filter was an oem BMW branded mann oil filter and I doubt they went OEM with parts. Oil change was very simple as a second owner, oil changes and other minimal mx isnt performed by dealer. Oil filter housing torqued to 25NM and drain plug torqued to 20NM. Helgahh is happy and satisfied with her oil changed. Pic attached with a smile. Race ramps were a life saver as I was able to access bottom of vehicle.

Nice job!

But you under torqued the drain bolt, it is also supposed to be 25 NM.

No problem. It is better under torqued than over torqued and stripped out though, so nothing to worry about.

You can get ISTA (dealer software) which is what new tis was based off of. Then you won't ever have to second guess.
