What started with the oil leak repair,ended up with a full service.Replaced most fluids.Cleaned the ITG airfilter.Cleaned the tub after removing the wings and front.Had to remove some surface corossion.
Replaced all gearbox oil and filter( is the whole sump!) according instructions from the web for a BMW E70 N62 B48 engine.Today I was able to start the engine to fill the gearbox with engine running.I ended up with 8.1 liters of oil.
Anybody knows if this is a normal figure.I guess it is since I was not able to fill more,but I could not find an official figure.According the car material shop,the X5 needs 11 liters.
Btw,I have drilled a hole in the driver side footwell to get access to the fill plug.Otherwise I was still laying under my car to get the fill plug out.
