- BMW X3 Oil Filter Housing Gasket Replacement
This was done on a 2008 X3 but should be the same on other BMW's.

Brother out of all videos I watch I was looking for this particular video where you dont have to dissamble the whole car and get to the issue at hand
I ppreciated all the other mechanics video but I too am a person that eliminates as many steps possible and make it easy for everyone Thank You Sir
Great instructive lesson that helped me perform the task. BTW, the three bolts attaching the filter housing to the block were T10 on my 2007 X3, not T8.
Thanks ! This was VERY HELPFUL!!!!!
Thank you for this video, I just purchased a 2008 BMW X3 and the belt came loose due to these oil leaks. As I am not a mechanic I should probably invest in this repair. THANKS. My BMW only has 179,000klm, so I'm going to invest,
Well done, Good technique with cautions about process.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks for the video brother!
This is a great video I have a 2013 x13 which the gasket is ailing. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching
Good stuff. Thx!
So i'm not draining my coolant before i do the replacement, I know i'll lose a little coolant from the hose, but when i put it back together --- am i in the clear to drive it 15-20 minutes to my auto shop to have oil and coolant change? Or do i have to fill it up with more coolant?
First thanks for your idea with this very helpful but, I was able to do it without having to take alternator out 1/4 in swivel and a 1/4 extension long enough to reach with 1/4 ratchet and a magnet stick to guide the bolt back in, I was able to get it out no with problem.
Hello, thank you for the great video. The 5/16 swivel you used on what looked like a torx bolt, did you use a 12 point socket and it worked on the torx bolt? Thanks!
6 point swivel
Great video. Our is a 2006 with the 3.0 gas engine and it does not have the oil cooler on the front of the oil filter housing. Do I need to drain coolant before replacing the gasket from the oil filter housing to the engine block? I dont have a good way to lift the car and work under the car right now. Thanks.
I am not sure but I bet coolant still flows threw the housing so I would drain the coolant out of it. Thanks for watching
Hi what if you have oil in in the coolant reservoir? How would u flush the system? There was no coolant in the oil compartment. Do you suggest changing manifold gaskets, oil housing engine gasket ( i may not be saying it right) of course housing oil cooler gasket all hoses, change oil, belts clean alternator?
They have way to do it with soapy water I didn't take it. Apart but the engine never overheated
I have this problem but where do I find the hose from the head to oil filter housing where can I find the 2 jpressure hose and cooling hose
You should be able to find all the parts online or at your local foreign car auto parts store. But the dealer has oem parts that fit better.
I have the exact same problem with my 2009 x3. Did you drain the oil before you took anything off, or is that not necessary? Very helpful video!
I take out the oil filter and then that lets the oil drain back into the engine. You should drain a little coolant out of it so the anifreeze won't go into the oil passage when the housing comes off.
Can you list all the tools and sizes in the description or comments please?
Sorry won't be able to because I can't remember all the tools I used. Thanks for watching
Which tork use for those bolts ? Thank you
M8 bolts should be torque to 8 to 12nm. Thanks for watching
Did you ever get oil going through the cooling system because of those gaskets?
No but it's possible
How does the coolant hose come off? Also, people say to be careful not to have oil or coolant mix. How do you avoid that?
The upper hose has a clip that you pull out on. I drain the coolant and then wipe everything out.
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore Can you do the job without draining the coolant?
@@sarahdell4042 No I would drain it so it does not mix with oil.
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore Do you have to do a full drain, or is there a way just to get the amount out that would be able to mix?
Just drain some out or pull the upper hose.
Might end up doing this myself to save money.
Good luck and thanks for watching
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore Do you have to drain the coolant before replacing that radiator hose?
@@Joshalots Yes I would to minimize the coolant mess
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore Hi there, thanks for the video. Is there a specific method to bleed the coolant systeme after the repair is done?
@@TheMartinSavard I only drain a little coolant out. Then refill. If it has a bleeder on the radiator definitely loose it and refill. If you remove all the coolant you need a scan tool to do a water pump bleed on it. Thanks for watching
Do you recall what the torque spec was
They are in another comment below. Thanks for watching
Do you know the torque specs for the car?
M8 bolts should be torque to 8 to 12nm. Thanks for watching
Do u have all part numbers
Sorry no. Always get the ones for your make and model. These could be different. Thanks for watching
Do you really need to take the belt off. You got it off with the belt on so I'd imagine you could get it on the same way
I would take off the belt so coolant and oil does not get on it. This belt was all ready oil soaked so it did not matter. Thanks for watching
