Supposed to remove the Oil Filter first so the oil in the filter housing runs to the pan and drains out with the rest of the oil. Otherwise you are just contaminating your new oil with a decent amount of old.
This video misses one crucial point -- amateur folks don't have a car lift. The only place to raise the vehicle (according to the driver manual) are on the pinch welds adjacent to each wheel. If you lift with a jack, where do you put the stand? Hondas and Subarus have a central lift surface just under the engine compartment that allows you to push the entire front of the vehicle up, and then you can put stands on the pinch welds to secure the vehicle. Without this, lifting the VW requires alternative methods: driving onto wedges to lift the vehicle up, or using vacuum extraction. Vacuum is annoying because it is messy and requires always priming the pump. Getting under the VW must be done safely to remove the dirt cover to reach the oil plug. Any suggestions?
Great video but that looks incredibly painful and makes me question owning a VW again. What were those engineers thinking? Did you say you need a 32 mm socket? Where do you get something that big?
So, I've been using liqui moly for many years (not for my newly purchased diesel though). How does this compare to the Ravenol? I'm also very interested in the 20 liter bag in box, seems like a good option. I did research on the internet, and it looks like a close match, do you agree?

@@OpenTheB0x thank you - yes I ended up putting 5L in and all is OK. Thanks for confirming this. I suppose with the extra oil in there we can drive an extra 1600 (5.0/4.3 which amounts to roughly 1/6 x 10k or 1600) miles between oil changes?

Thoughts on vacuum oil extraction?

Thanks for the tips! Anyone delete their dpf?
Not as service friendly as the old 1.9
Hello, I have a 2014 Jetta TDI but it does not have the engine oil pan protector, do you know where I can get it?
muy buen video de los mejores gracias

In my pants
any auto parts store.
32 mm is 1.25 inches John Holmes.
cmetube Most cartridge oil filters use a large socket for the housing. 32mm is not uncommon
Stop trying to throw shade on the VW engineering. It's some of the best you'd find, amateur

Acc to the makers, Ravenol is PAO based oil. Should be better.
Thanks - very well done. Can't find the Ravenol oil out here in Australia.

How many liters of oil did he use
Hello, out of interest would you think soaking the new oil filter in fresh oil would help on start up ??
Did it workout?
5 Liters? Every indication is 4.3 liters. Please advise. Minute 9:40 says "5 liters"
Ryan Fitzgerald the capacity of the oil pan is 5 liters. Factory recommended is 4.3-4.5, but no problem with adding 5 liters on it.

how do you get the oil light off after changing oil/
Hi James,
We'd recommend first checking your user manual for instructions, otherwise a good ol' Google search should also turn up an answer.
