10K oil change intervals is the quickest way to lead your engine to an early grave. Especially on engines equipped with TIMING CHAINS. I change mine at 5K intervals. Oil is cheaper than an engine. Especially a VAG engine.
@@toddjohnson9546 Not the chain you have to worry about. Tensioner, chain guides, etc. You're living on borrowed time. Doesn't matter whether your Atlas has the 3.6L VR6 or the 2.0L TSI engine. I've owned/maintained/driven VW/Audi products since 1975.
What are your thoughts on using an oil extractor versus draining it out the bottom? I saw another video where a guy did it that way. Outstanding video, btw!
Great video! I am going to dump my oil at 5,000 miles and let them do the oil filter at 10,000 miles. I figure there is no reason the filter needs to be replaced at 5,000 but I don't want to go 10,000 miles between oil changes when I can get oil for like $30.... Juts to confirm, the oil drain plug's torque spec is in ft-lbs and the oil filter housing is in newton meters?
Thanks for the great video. Question about the crush washer, when I looked for them on Amazon, it says it doesn't fit 2.0 VW Atlas. Is the following the correct size? 14 mm; OD 20 mm ; thickness is 2.3 mm.
I do not know the dimensions but here it is on the VW site. parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen_2024_Atlas-Cross-Sport/Engine-Oil-Drain-Plug-Gasket/49794818/N0138157.html
The only video i found on RUclips how to reset the oil life on a 2024 VW Atlas. Good job 👍🏻
Thanks for you tutorial I learn plenty for my first oil change, thanks again.
Thanks. 3k miles oil changes for the win. 1200 on the odo now. Doing the first oil change myself now and saving my 8 freebies for another time.

I’m at 160k on my atlas with 10k oil changes. Timing chain is great. Just checked.

Thanks, what about replacing the Battery on a 2024 cross sport.

The extractor seems to work but I have never tried it. I prefer to drain it from the bottom.

That’s correct. It should say the torque spec on the oil filter housing.

No more gmt 400 videos?
Not for now, but maybe we will get another one!
Is it safe to use the same oil but have dexos D additives in it?
No clue. I would use the recommended oil
@@SuburbanRanch nevermind, I saw the oil you used in the video. It says dexos D at the bottom of the jug
