Time lapse of me doing an oil change on my 2003 BMW 330i with a MityVac 7201 fluid extractor.

Total elapsed time, 12 minutes 38 seconds.

Another E46 owner on the bimmerfest.com forums did a Mityvac oil change and then opened up the oil drain bolt - nothing came out. The Mityvac is able to extract all the oil from the E46 out of the dip stick hole (this may not be true for all vehicles, do this test yourself - it may save you a lot of time in the future!).

Yes, you should probably change the filter *before* adding clean oil, but with a top-mounted filter, it doesn't really matter.

  • Yes, they do... but with a mityvac, no need to get under the car.

  • So do new Bimmers not have drain plugs?
