Oil that came out looked a bit dark but i only got to see the residual bit in the box sump. 2.5 years later still silky smooth but i thought it was quite smooth before the service but i could tell the difference after the service ...

X5 e53 gearbox service

Morning all. Not sure if my x5 has ever had a gearbox service so I’m wanting to do one. Car shifts up and down the gears fine but when I checked it on XHP software the E clutch is at its max of 750mbar. Should I leave it or will it be fine to still change https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fSZv_x ...

Inlet manifold cleaning

Morning all as I’m going to be replacing my glow plugs in the next few weeks I thought while the inlet manifold was off was to clean it. Now I’ve seen some post that that people have soaked it in caustic soda but the question I want to know is how long do I soak it for.

Re: 3.0d e53 gearbox oil change

Ideal thanks. I’m guessing there’s no rubber sleeves and bridge to replace on these like on the e60’s

E53 3.0d engine oil

Morning all iv been using 5w30 oil in my 3.0d e53 for the passed 3-4 years. The car is now sitting on 185,000 miles so should I keep to the same oil or maybe a more thicker oil. The car is a non dpf car being a 2004 model.
