How do I change the oil in my car?

I recently purchased a BMW and I want to learn how to change the oil myself. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to do it correctly? I don't want to damage my car.

Changing your car's oil can be intimidating at first, but it's actually a simple process. First, gather all the necessary tools and materials such as a drain bucket, oil filter wrench, and new oil. Then, locate the oil filter and drain plug on your BMW. Next, drain the old oil into the bucket by removing the drain plug. Once all the oil has drained out, replace the drain plug and remove the old oil filter. Install the new oil filter and fill the engine with the recommended amount of new oil. Make sure to dispose of the old oil properly. If you're unsure of any steps, consult your BMW's manual for detailed instructions.

I've been changing my own oil for years and have some tips for you. Always double check that you have the right oil filter and oil for your car model. It's also important to warm up the car for a few minutes before changing the oil, this will make the process easier. Don't forget to clean out the drain plug and replace the washer to avoid leaks. And finally, make sure to properly dispose of the old oil and filter.

Changing your oil is an essential part of car maintenance, but it can also be messy. Make sure to have paper towels or rags on hand to clean up any spills. It's also a good idea to wear gloves and protective eyewear while working with oil. And don't forget to check your oil level and top off if needed after completing the process.
