DIY oil changes.
I was just researching this topic as I plan on DIY oil changes on this car. I was very happy to see that the underpan on the BMW engines has access points for the filter and drain plug! On my Audi's I always had to remove the entire under pan to get at ANYTHING.
I was watching some videos on the older M5, and the V8 ones had a Drain Plug on the Filter Housing while the V10 model did not. It appears the 2018 M5 point filter housing does NOT have a drain plug on it so when you remove that cover to change the filter it is going to be a MESS.
I was actually hoping the oil filter was on the TOP of the engine like it was on my '97 M3 and '94 325is. (an M2 if I recall, never changed the oil on the M2).
Anyone do an oil change on their M5 yet?
Mike
