DIY "service A" (oil change) and indicator reset video
Pretty much simple as it gets lol but I made a video anyway.
I was kind of surprised by several people saying their dealer still vacuums the oil out the top which is clearly different than what the WIS instructions say.
Either way, I've always prefer draining from the bottom anyway. (especially since on the e55 it leaves over 1.5 qts)
I also wish I dove more into finding out what service you need by looking into the service menu. Either way, below I put a list a list of the services you can find under that menu.
P.s. One selfish plea, Up until this point YouTube is getting all the revenue from my channel, I'm just 10 subscribers away from getting a dollar from them, consider subscribing even if you never watch it 😆
Service 1: Minor basic service (Service A)
Service 2: Major basic service (Service B)
Service 3: Engine oil + filter
Service 4: Brake fluid
Service 5: Combination filter
Service 6: Dust filter (included in Service B)
Service 7: Activated charcoal filter
Service 8: Air filter
Service 9: Tilting/Sliding roof
Service 10: Panoramic sliding roof
Service 11: fuel filter
Service 12: spark plugs
Service 13: coolant
Service 14: main coolant circuit
Service 15: trailer hitch
Service 16: parking brake
Service 17: emergency call system
Service 18: brake algorithm
Service 19: diesel particulate filter
Service 20: automatic transmission oil and filter

Totally agree, I think one thing you hear with these or other high-end cars or exotics etc, people are afraid to buy them because they believe they either cannot work on them themselves or the maintenance is going to be too costly.
By dispelling that myth, and showing people how they can get those costs significantly reduced, you get more people that want to buy them which helps us out in the long run

One more subscriber, I always appreciate these, yours is well done. The exhaust mod video was interesting, when I pulled my exhaust off I was impressed by how light it was, now I know why.
Thanks for the videos.
