If you remove the cap on the bottom of the oil filter housing there is a valve to drain the oil *before* unscrewing the housing. If you drain using that small valve you avoid spilling oil.
🗣️ YES a MUST!!! Unscrew bottom cap & Push in nipple with sm. screw driver and to side & catch oil. I used 1/2 half milk bottle. Didn’t drop a drop of oil on ground or hoses! Genius idea! 🤓👍👍👍
on these german vehicles you should always always alway use the the right recommended oil,, wich would be castrol specially formulated to meet bmw, mercedes,and volkswagon specs..vw 501/502/
where does the second o'ring go? on the car i'm repairing it has the o'ring you put in the canister and another one between the canister and the oil adapter. this car was leaking oil bad. i can't even get the canister on the adapter all the way there is a gap where they meet that is maybe 1.8" they had an o'ring in that spot. but i see you do not put one up on the adapter before you put the canister back on? so is that second oring needed? thanks
I thought VW required synthetic oil in all of there cars. This was a problem in the early 2000 models because conventional oil would congeal due to the oil filters proximity to the exhaust manifold. Too much heat.
The oil filter is mounted on the bottom of the engine in a plastic housing, not very near the headers. But still VW does require a synthetic. The owner of this car is crazy. The oil looked black, the filter looked gunked up and they had about 1/8 of a tank of gas, killing the fuel pump. That car is not very well taken care of. Sad.
So why did he not drain the oil using the oil drain plug first before removing the oil filter? All of that old oil in the oil pan is still in the engine ontop of the new oil.
Actually it only has one gasket. He explained it in the video. I just got done doing mine and there is only one gasket. The second that comes with the filter is for a different car.
5:46 dude why are you putting a clean new filter into a dirty-ass filter housing? Take a minute and some parts cleaner spray and clean that crap out. And aside from using the wrong oil, good video.
.......now I'm thinking, every time I've gone to get my oil changed, have they been really changing it? They take like 10mins. This video has been shortened and is 9mins. ........scratching my head here
In the US domestic market you can also use 5W-30, but using conventional? It's madness. A full synthetic is an imperative. The owner of this car is insane. Oil is cheap, these engines, not so much.

Agreed but you can pretty much get away with any full synthetic. Using straight conventional? Insane
@@inspectorjavert8802 ill pass on that but good luck..
Fantastic & informative video with good carera view! Thank-you for sharing! VERY helpful. 👍👍

Very informative video. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful! Feel free to check out out other videos as well!
appreciate the video❤
Thank you for making the video! Will it be the same procedure for a 2006 VW Golf GLS?
Thank you! Is it a 2.5 5 cylinder?
+World Mechanics it's a 4 cyl 2.0 lt engine
Thanks for the video
Thanks for making this video.
Hello I have a 2016 2.5 manual what kind oil for the transmission should I use?
Will this also work with my 1999 Volkswagen beetle
Wouldn’t the oil pan still have leftover oil or no?

Nice instructions, very helpful, good job!
Gracias mi amigo, excelente!
Great info and great video. I would take off your ring while working though. If you break your hand while wearing your ring it could be VERY bad.
Never tighten a filter with a filter wrench!
So why did he not drain the oil using the oil drain plug first before removing the oil filter? All of that old oil in the oil pan is still in the engine ontop of the new oil.
Failed to replace the 2nd gasket that the filter comes with... goes to show some things you need to have professionally done.

Well remember the car has to cool off as well hot oil can cause serious burns.
That is the wrong type of oil.It takes a 5-40 Euro Synthetic with VW specs.
In the US domestic market you can also use 5W-30, but using conventional? It's madness. A full synthetic is an imperative. The owner of this car is insane. Oil is cheap, these engines, not so much.
Stopped watching as soon as I saw the fram filter on a vw oil change
The right oil for beetle is 5-40
Owner's manual says 5W-30 is fine as well, as long as it's a full synthetic. That Castrol he's putting in as conventional as it gets. I would never.
Well done. Thank you!
