BMW OWNER TRIES TO CHANGE OIL ON OWN CAR. IT GOES TERRIBLY WRONG 

In a viral video that has amassed over 151,900 views and thousands of likes, TikTok user BlipCars (@blipcars) showed why servicing cars should probably be left to the professionals.

In it, a man can be heard narrating the steps he took to change the oil “Let’s change the oil on my car,” the man said, pointing to his BMW 528i. “Now, first, let’s go ahead and get it into the garage.”

“Now, we’re gonna jack up the car and get some of these stands underneath there,” he continued. Next, the man removed the oil filter from the car, drained the oil, and replaced the filter and its parts.

For the final step, the man poured in the new oil.

“So, unfortunately, we are not going to be able to start the car because our drain plug is leaking,” the man explained. He believed the drain plug was stripped and that he messed it up while servicing the vehicle in the past.

In the video’s comments section, many were understanding about the mistake and offered up advice on how to avoid the problem in the future. “If you are uncertain about how [tight] it should be I would recommend getting a torque wrench,” user Karm wrote. “Can never go wrong with them, 25nm.”
