How-to MK7 GTI Oil Change

Mr_ET · Sep 6, 2018

Just thought I'd drop this here. New to the forum and I thought I could contribute by sharing a video I made on YouTube of how to do an old change on an MK7 GTI.

Nice. I thing I do differently is to loosen the oil filter housing whilst the oil is draining. This releases the oil held in the back-flow valve and allows it to drain away too. Otherwise you're retaining old oil in the system aren't you?

Right. Step one is change the filter, then get under the car. This breaks the vacuum in the pump/filter.

The video took longer to watch than changing the oil!
