Hey Phil, what’s that tool you use to get the drain plug?? I bought your VW tool kit but I don’t know which tool to use to get the drain plug out
A tip from my experience. The oil in the filter housing will not drain into the pan, due to the check valve at the bottom of the plunger. This holds oil in the housing when the engine is not running, to stop oil starvation on start up. You would wan't to loosen the filter first (it holds about 1/2 quart) till you hear it draining, then drain your oil. Doing this will prevent the oil you spilled on the intake manifold and A/C line.
I'm sort of new to this but would you need to top of the filter housing with some oil since it would be deprived on start up then?
agree. it is stated in VAG EA888 engine overview.
you mean that before taking out the oil plug loosen and take the oil filter housing?
Yes, Loosen it just enough so it drains and then remove the drain plug
Absolutely right. U always losen the filter first.
And let the oil from the housing drain down in to the pan.
I've decided on 7,500 mile oil change intervals on my 2016 GTI. At 22,500 miles, I did my first one yesterday (dealer did two for free). I always rotate my tires while the oil drains, and typically get the maximum amount of oil out of my cars. My car took a full 6 quarts to get to the middle of the area on the dipstick almost exactly between low and full, when cold. After driving and checking again, it was exactly at the full level when hot.
This is fantastic oil for the 2.0T VAG engines, my Jetta 2.0T and Mk7 loves this stuff.
+Hubscharber Thanks for that feedback. Liquimoly is very popular with our customers.
He doesn't mention it but you want to warm up the engine oil before changing it. Flows much better out the drain hole. Also, with an oil extractor you don't need a lift or ramps or get under the vehicle. Can all be done from the top of the engine.
Thank you for the video. I have a Passat 2016 how do you reset the service light? I already reset the oil change light but can’t reset the service light.
It’s in the owners manual
What is the plastic straw looking thing attached the the oil filter housing? My 2020 doesn't have that 🤔
Hi, Is it recommended to replace the sump plug or is it ok to reuse the old one ?
Thank you Paul! As always, top notch stuff from you guys.
+Amir M Thanks glad you like
Why do some places say 0w-20
My gunuime filter only came with the o ring for the cap. Shouldn't the o ring on the little tube be replaced also?
Great video! One note from my experience: the oil fill location on the engine is located in spot that allows spills to fall directly on the downpipe and heat shield. Do you just spray some brakleen on it and wipe, or just wipe off what you can and burn off the rest?
+07HDDriver Yup that should do the trick
why is the coolant tank so over filled?
It's actually very low.
@@RickJohnson It' actually very overfilled........
Why you guys recommend liqui moly over the other oils?
I suggest Amsoil
Boodieman72 liqui moly is the best. Men styles barber just look up some tests on RUclips. It holds up better under extreme highs and lows compared to anything else. And the new generation they put out apparently had the best protection/lubrication possible
Liquid Molly is the only only that exceeds manufacturer's recommendations
Same process for regular mk 7 golf?
Should I use the synthetic liquidmoly?
I like your work man, but you should loosen the oil filter first so that the valve inside it opens up and releases all the oil stuck in the filter to drain down into the oil pan. Now all that old oil just went back into the oil pan because you already put a new oil drain plug in. Not trying to be negative, like I said, I really enjoy your channel and all your work.
On another note, what’s with VW and Audi calling for 0W20 weight oil (508/509) in their engines now? That seems too thin compared to their always 5W40 or 0W40 weight. I hope it’s NOT just for MPG and CAFE standards. I care more about longevity than MPG’s.
Someone already mentioned it a few replies back, but I’ll reiterate.
Warm up the oil first, it drains a lot easier. Also, with an oil extractor, there’s no need to crawl under the car, & no need to replace the drain plug.
Hey Paul,,,,,if vw spec 0w20 508.00 isn't readily available can you use a premium GF6A 0w20 full synthetic? ?????
I drive a 2013 MK6 GTI. Would you recommend this over the Motul? Which has better wear characteristics? It is a daily, planning on upgrading to a APR stage 2 with a large turbo custom tuning in the future
links are all dead with the new website URL
Would this video apply the same to a 2013 Scirocco R? I can't remember which Golf version but I think the Golf R has the same engine compartment layout as the Scirocco. Please correct me if I am wrong?
Could you do one for brakes and rotors? And maybe an aftermarket LED headlights install
We have one for performance brakes coming in the future.
Here is our headlight install ruclips.net/video/fLKydAgQbOM/видео.html
How much oil should a mk7 vw golf gti use between services castrol magnatec 10w 40 currently in car
volksvagen from 5w30 if I put a 5w40 with vw502 is it ok?
Drain plug? Don't you know that its suggested to extract the oil though the dipstick tube?
its a $25,000 car... its not a huracan performante
Most people don't have a dedicated oil extractor to appease sadistic German car designers.
I may be wrong on this but gravity tends to suggest this isn't the best way to remove dirt and debris from the oil to me. Call me old fashioned. Plus removes the possibility to upgrade to magnetic sump plug which you can then regularly check for any signs of contamination, a good thing no ?
Just noticed the title says "chage" instead of change.
you might also tell the viewers oil levels should be checked when the engine is at operating temperature. when i check cold it looks low, best to make sure its at temp to avoid over filling.
It makes no difference whether it's hot or cold......
How many litrs of oil. I put 5 litres of oil in my vw mk7 2.0tdi. ??
5.7
Can I use the Liqui Moly Longtime High Tech 5W30 Motor Oil? Any big difference?
I live in the UK and have many European oils available I like Fuchs TITAN GT1 PRO C-3 XTL 5W-30. IF you guys in the US could buy any oil, what would you use?
would this be the same for the GLI?
still love watching this video.
Do you recommend against pumping out the oil thru the dipstick tube instead of draining it out the bottom?
ruclips.net/video/vwx8B2tYVbw/видео.html
Why have they started using plastic plugs?
money maker, plastic needs replace each time, a metal drain bolt not so much
@@brandonblack2095 Plastic sump.............
I like your "torque wrench" got the same one ;) and using brake clean on any of that would not be advisable (with all that plastic.) contact cleaner is made specifically for that
So how do you drain the oil if you don't have that expensive car lift? Can you prop the car up on blocks?
+largol33t1 You would need to put it up on jack stands or ramps to perform this job
+largol33t1 literally like any other car, jack stands.
After performing many DIY oil changes on the Mercedes Benz 3.2 V6, it was always MUCH easier to refill through the removed vertical oil filter space. MB provides the "710" cap for top-offs between changes.
Same here, or can anyone respond on this? ASKDAP?
Great video..
One question is it 5.5 litres capacity???
I have a mk7 2013 2.0 tdi.
VW states that Golf Mk 7 engines (both TSI and TDI) require 5.5 liters (5.8 quarts) of oil. Once it's fully drained, I've always used 6 quarts (5.7 liters) and it works just fine.
Quick question. I have a brand new 2021 GTI SE with 500 miles on it. Should I do an oil change after the "break in" period at about 1k miles? VW says not to, but it seems most everyone else says to do so. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Nah, minimum, with full synthetic would be 5k; 1K isn’t necessary unless you just wanna spend money and do oil changes for fun
Hey you have really good videos, I enjoy them.
From Slovenia.
For amateurs. Don't get oil all over the engine.
Do you recommend changing oil after breaking in the car,
Nope wait until 5k
Why's that? I changed mine at 3,500 to get rid of any metal shavings. Seemed like a good idea?
BOOSTEDDUDE Because the vehicle has special oil lubricant to break the vehicle in so the car engine can last longer. If you change it to early, the car won't have gone through a proper break in.
Do you need a new drain plug every oil change?
Yes...
Hey just a quick question do I need to replace the oil drain plug every time I do a oil change?
Yes, he mentions it in the video a few times.
why don't you do anything on 2014 jetta gli 30th edition ea888 gen 3
We do most of our DIYs on a MK7 GTI currently as thats a car we have here every day.
Hi bro so I have a big question so what is the best new oil for my mark 7 I have 2015 gti but
+Freddy Resendiz We like Liquimoly deutscheautoparts.com/vw-mk7-gti-oil-change-kit.html

Awesome video, proud owner of a mk7 now, very well done. Subscribed!!!
+ihatekarlo Congrats on the new ride!!! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
How’s the car??
I live in europe so i cannot order your kts. So tell me, where can i get that new plug here?
Try your local auto parts store or dealership. Order online as well. Search for(example) 2018 VW GTI mk 7.5 oil drain plug.
A VW agent might have one.........
Why is a 32mm socket a special tool?
It's just a 3/8" drive 6-point socket. You can also use a 1-1/4" 6-point socket, which equals 31.75mm.
Thank you for the video. Is it necessary to change new drain plug everytime doing oil change? What is their life span or when should it be changed?
+Duuuu We change them every time and all of our MK7 Oil change kits include a new one.
Is that a 32mm socket for the oil filter case?
yes
How many liter oil for golf r MK 7.5 with filter and without filter ??
Whats best oil type for germany car ??
5.7 litres with filter, always change filter when changing oil, Castrol Edge LL 5W/30 is the only factory approved oil for this car, it states this on the oil filler cap...
when the car went up on the lift i was amazed at how fast it went up and thought to myself "wow, thats a nice lift" then i realized it was fast forwarded
+David Vizcaya yup the magic of editing ; )
Hi, thanks for the great video! I ended up slightly overfilling my MKVII. Should I be concerned if I'm probably around 200ml too much oil? The manual makes it sound really bad if you have too much oil saying it can damage the Engine and/or Cat. Any input?
If it's overfilled you will get a message on the display in the car......
@@richardsealey3626 Good to know even though my post was 3 years ago in my 2k17 GTI. I ended up using a needle pump to extract some of the oil.
Hey this is old as dirt but having an entire quart more or less in an engine is still not gonna cause any serious issues.
@@Piercemxpx Yeah, I found this out back in like 2014 when my 1.8t's original K03's blew up and I drove home about 6 or 7 miles with smoke billowing out my exhaust! I probably had about 2 qts left in the Engine by the time I got home. That was at 110k miles I think. 3 turbos later I'm still cruising with over 205K on the clock. Granted I got a new head at 104K miles.
What is the maximum mileage I can drive using Liqui Moly until the next oil change? My 2018 GTI is set for 5500. Thanks!
VW recommends 10k; depending on your driving style 7500 or 5k might be more advantageous
Those intervals are ludicrous, 5k max nothing over that
Step 1- Get $10,000 lift.
Looking at the oil pan with it's nooks, using a ramp is going to leave a lot of oil in the pan. Level surface is a must, IMO.
How much does this cost you vs going to the dealer ship?
Dealer usually charges about 100 bucks, sometimes they have specials and it's a little less. If you use a quality synthetic oil and an OEM filter, it hardly makes any sense doing it yourself, unless you like to. I'm kind of 50/50 with my car.
$15 to do it myself vs $70 at the dealer.
Cost of oil + labor cost which can be $100/hr so you’re looking at $100+ for the job
You do get peace of mind knowing it’s done and completed properly but it’s so much cheaper to diy
@ 6:19 Looks like you figured out what I was going to suggest, cutting the bottom off an empty bottle to use as a funnel. Though usually I use a quart bottle as it's less likely to tip over.
Haven't done an oil change yet on my TSi so I don't know how well the bottle neck engages with the filler neck. Thx
Torque for oil filter cap is not so important as the seal works on o-ring. be sure to visual screw down cap and filter body and all be fine. the same thing is the oil drainplug. no torque, just visual turn-to-stop.
Make sure green marks align on oil filter housing......
I have a 2013 gli with the Gen 3 engine. Ecs tuning sent me a kit without the filter. Telling me I didn't need it for this engine. Is that correct, before I start changing it
You can change you oil without replacing the filter but it's not something I would advise. If you're asking if your car has an oil filter yes it does have one and you should replace it
Thanks one more question. What's the torque bit size for that drain plug
Sooooo I wanted to use Royal purple and they said noo I can’t use it. What brand should I get ?
Amsoil European spec
Motul
the plastic screw in the oil pan is one use only.. make sure you get a new one when changing oil.. costs about 0.20€
This video is one of the reasons why I do my own oil changes...This fellow was pretty messy with spilling oil in the engine bay...
I would not want him to do an oil change on my car....
Pouring oil by hand? Bad way ...use a funnel and be certain you don't get oil all over the engine.
He's able to pull it off, but have to I rely on this. www.shopdap.com/make-model-year/volkswagen/gti/mk7-gti-2015-present/tools/vw-audi-special-oil-funnel.html
can I use sae5 w30 instead of 40??
+kanastle one Yes but you need to make sure it meets the VW 502 00 spec
I just bought amsoil full synthetic for my '17 mk7
Justin Tackett wow
@@n0n0n0 🤣🤣🤣
Is he using a screwdriver to change the drain plug!!
helpful Diy, please get a proper funnel and your coolant reservoir is way overfilled.
+Ismael Mahamat If you look closer, it is actually way underfilled. Look at the bottom, the coolant is red.
+Ismael Mahamat We actually wanted to show an option for if you didn't have a funnel. Also as mentioned below the coolant was under filled not overfilled. Thanks for watching.
Ive never seen that funnel method before and about to try it today!
Great video, I recommend!
+Iron Man Thanks Glad you like
Can You Please Do a DIY On 2014 Vw Tiguan Oil ChangeThanks For All The Awesome Vids They Help
a million thank yous.
+Daniel R No problem. Glad we could help.
Plastic oil pan and drain bolt... -_-
I work at a vw dealer, so we suck up the oil from the the dip stick tube to avoid messing up the plastics under neath lol
Do you need a special oil pump, or any generic pump will do the job?
+nickolastiguan any generic oil pump should work, just make sure the plastic tube you put in the dip stick tube is long enough to touch the bottom of the oil pan so you suck up all the oil.
Thanks.
I’d have preferred an aluminum pan so I could install a Fumoto valve like with all my other cars.
U doing it the wrong way.
Always loosen the filter first.
Pour sideways...or get a funnel.
Too bad shipping is so high for this product.
Now they have free shipping ☺️
I have no idea why I watched this but good vid nonetheless, very messy job however triggered me slightly haha
u doing it vrong
RE this part of the video ruclips.net/video/xKWo6eU9ipM/видео.htmlm9s I believe the instructions are to torque to 25 nm 5 times. I've tried torquing to 30 nm after torquing to 25 and it caused a small leak. Fortunately I had a spare filter and oring to reinstall and after trying the method of applying 25 nm of force 5 times, I've never had a leak.
That seems to make a lot more sense!
Your coolant level is low.
Actually it's overfilled.........
Not cleaning the hole after taking out the oil. Not having new oil on the new filter. Not wiping off the old oil on the filter holder, not cleaning the oil of the botton on the engine.
Getting oil all over the engine.
Sorry but u got much to practice
Plastic,plastic and more plastic 🤔
How much oil do I need to buy to replace my oil in a VW MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE?
Wich exhaust do you have ?
