i was doing the oil and oil filter change DIY on my '02 325i. i went below the car. removed the crash guard covering the fuel filter and stuff....but, i couldn't locate the 17mm bolt for the oil pan anywhere......i was blind may be........after all the search i found a pan that looked to me like "oil pan".......this had a drain plug.........which was a Torx 40........i never realized what i was getting into.....i opened the screw and drained all the oil..........thatz not the end.......i went on to fill 7 cans of engine oil in the engine........i drove the car for 2 miles may be......it was jerking.........i didn't know what was happening.....then it showed a
"! D" symbol on the dash.....after this i drove may be 500 feet and parked the car in my friend's parking lot............now,
1. my car has double quantity of engine oil (don't know what the old was already in there......i added MOBIL 1 5-w30).......and
2. there is no ATF at all......
