VW 1.8 TSI - Oil And Filter Change - Save Money And Do It Yourself

[@Bruins8851]

I love the detailed info in your videos, really makes doing the work a lot easier and I am less fearful of breaking something. Stay safe and thanks again for these great videos.

Hey, thanks for the compliment. I just try to explain things how I’d like to hear it. Just overcoming the fear of mechanical challenges can be tough. I know my limits for sure. But I just prefer to do as much as I can before taking it to a place that will cost money. Take care and thank you. 👍🏼💯😎

Excellent video with great detail! What would be the 5W-30 version of this same oil? Amazon is saying the ones I’m finding are not compatible with my Passat. I have the same year and model as you.

[@grind-it-out]

5 w 30 is good. It recommends both 5 30 and 5 40. Cooler climate is go 5w 30. I’m in Texas so I use 5/40. The oil you get has to be VW approved. Castrol European full synthetic or liqui moly

I'm also in need of an oil change you wanna come up to Dallas 😅

[@grind-it-out]

Ha! That would be an expensive oil change 🤣🤣. But a road trip may be good. 💯😎👍🏼

I know it's you can and money but it's not really necessary to change your drain plug every time you change the oil. The crush washer yes . I have never had any leaks from reusing same plug.

[@grind-it-out]

Yes that is true. When I bout the plug it came with a washer. I had a few washers but have used them up. Ha! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
