General
This repair group covers lubrication
system troubleshooting as well as oil
pan removal and oil pump
replacement.
Special tools
The engine needs to be properly
supported while the front suspension
subframe is removed to access the
lubrication system. If BMW special
tools 00 0 200 / 00 0 208 are not
available, a device to support the
weight of the engine from above would
be suitable.
A standard oil pressure gauge may be
used for measuring oil pressure. If the
BMW DIS tester system is to be used,
a special adapter is needed.
Note:
Oil change procedure and oil filter
replacement are covered in
