How do I change the oil and filter on my BMW 8 Series?

I need help with performing an oil and filter change on my BMW 8 Series. Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions and any precautions I should take?

First, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. You'll need a new oil filter, new oil, a wrench, a jack and jack stands, and an oil catch pan. Start by lifting your car with the jack and securing it with the jack stands. Then, locate the drain plug under the engine and place the oil catch pan beneath it. Use the wrench to remove the drain plug and let the old oil drain out completely. While that's draining, remove the old oil filter and replace it with the new one. Finally, refill the engine with the correct amount and type of new oil. Don't forget to properly dispose of the old oil and filter!

Adding onto John's advice, it's a good idea to run your car for a few minutes before changing the oil. This will warm up the oil and make it flow easier when draining. Additionally, make sure to follow the recommended oil type and weight for your specific BMW 8 Series model. This will ensure optimal performance and prevent potential engine damage. Happy oil changing!

I agree with both John and Emily. Just to add, don't forget to also change the O-ring when changing the oil filter. This will ensure a proper seal and prevent any oil leaks. And as always, make sure to double check your work and tighten any bolts or plugs before starting your car.
