Is it normal for there to be a second seal at top? Not the one inside the oil filter housing but where the housing screws on to. I noticed my car had a second red seal at the top. Was wondering it should be there or if previous person didn't remove it. I could not tell if yours had one in the video.

I'm leaking from the top of the oil filter housing. Wasn't leaking before. Now it is. Housing isn't cracked. Gasket is in correctly.

Amazing video well explained thank you.

I appreciate the comment!! 🙏

The crush washer is replaceable, why not just change it instead of the whole plug?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Indeed it is…I should of mentioned that in the video. The customer mentioned the drain plug being “damaged” prior to me doing the job, so we included it in parts order for the job. The OE VW plug is only $3 from RockAuto tho, so not like it really broke the bank or anything.

[@louienegrete1084]

Man I bought the same oil filter socket and it bent the drive to the point where my wrench slips off. Did you use a 1/2 drive wrench with adapters or were those all 3/8 extensions?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

All i used was a 3/8 driver ratchet, with a 2 inch 3/8 drive locking extension.

[@My_poops_hert]

You can also use a size 2 band wrench. Aka the one for like oe gm truck filters

[@CHEO-04]

Did you get that drain plug at auto zone?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

No, I actually got it from RockAuto.

[@dave2574]

Can anyone tell me what the plastic assembly inside the oil filter is called?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Should come built in with new filter-housing.

[@JuanCastro-nd9xf]

👍👍👍👍😉

[@Fredjoe5]

Looks like you have some water in that oil. Might be worth checking.

[@yerpster]

Mk should be pronounced like “mark”

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Yea, I know its “mark”, like a Supra MK4 “mark 4” etc. I didn’t know it was against the rules to roll with the abbreviation and say MK.
