  • This video is a detailed process of how to change your engine oil on the 2.0 FSI Engine. The video is pretty clear to follow through and is done according to factory standards.
    This process of changing oil is relatively similar to all VW car models which uses oil to lubricate the engine. Please make sure that you take all the necessary steps to ensure your safety before going ahead. Thank you for watching.

    Can you make a video of replacing a starter motor on the Jetta. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you

    Nice content as usual. Can I challenge you into doing a bit more research on a 5W40 vs 10W40. To my understanding, the 5W40 is better as these have the same viscosity when hot, when cold, the 5W40 is thinner which means it would be a better lubricant at lower temperatures than an oil with a higher viscosity.
    Keep up the good content.

      @@lindokuhlemenzikhumalo9685 An oil’s viscosity is its resistance to flow. Oil that’s too thick won’t flow properly through your engine, in this case - 10W-40 won't flow the same as 5W-40 during the cold start. 5W-40 will flow very easily, which to me implies that there's not a huge layer of protection between the bearings, crank and other parts where oil goes to when it is cold. So with this thin layer, I believe it is not good for an older engine as they need more protection as they are now prone to wear.
      Oil that’s too thin won’t protect moving parts from wear and tear hence I'm going for 10W-40 rather than the 5W-40.
      Viscosity increases as the temperature drops and decreases as the temperature rises, which is why I chose the oil with viscosity that is 40 when the engine is hot (which allows good performance).
      I hope this gives you an idea of why I choose to use 10W-40 instead of the recommended 5W-40.

    How do i remove the yellow oil dipstick funnel? do i need to remove all plastic and take intake out ? i cant figure it out

    • @MegatronicsZA
      @MegatronicsZA  Месяц назад

      To remove the dipstick funnel you need to remove the intake manifold first, here's the video of how to remove the intake manifold here: ruclips.net/video/c6RANdz9FwE/видео.html

      I have a 2.0 FSI no turbo aswell, im trying to get it in very good condition and this oil dipstick is the last thing. i managed to replace timing belt adn waterpump and thermostat, and that was alot of work!!

      Lol it's a lot of work just for a tiny dipstick pipe... Also make sure that you get extra breather hose pipes, the fact that you are removing the intake manifold might result in you breaking those pipes. No matter how smooth you are, you have a 90/10 chance of breaking one hose if not both.

    Bro I got.a 2.0fsi my mils is 250000 I'm using 5w 40 can I through in 10w40 or must I drain the old oil I can't mix them

    • @MegatronicsZA
      @MegatronicsZA  2 месяца назад

      You can't mix different viscosity oils together. It's better to drain the 5W-40 and put in the 10W-40. I personally don't know what mixing them would do but I'd recommend that you don't try it.

      @@roccabauleth6186 you are correct, with the mileage getting higher I've noticed that thin oil doesn't offer much protection - which is why I go with 10W-40.
