Did you put some kind of yellow/brown paste to the big o-ring? I thought we are supposed to spread a think layer of new engine oil only.

I'm not sure about the kit for the 525i, but the above is for the 545i. The big O-ring must be for the filter housing

OK. I did the searches and read info and watched the video for the oil change on a 530.
I just got under my car (04.545i) and removed what appeared to be the plastic cover where the oil drain plug should be. The interior contents do not look anything like the picture posted for the 530 (naturally, different engines, right?).
Does anyone have pics of the drain plug location and drain plug that they can post here?
Thanks in advance.
