Do I fill the filter with oil before screwing the new one on?

Spawn223311 says:

HELP at 2:28 whats the name for that plastic part with a sensor, at the
right side of the window washer fluid container? it has a hose that says
>ECO< connected to it

Sean Lelie says:

Is 5w-30 mobile 1 full synthetic okay to use in this specific car? 

oaubert says:

Dude, looks you’re using freaking cooking oil. 

HeatherFaraMS says:

if you just want to change the filter and not drain the oil can you simply
unscrew the filter and swap then top it off?

han0509 says:

i can change my oil air and fuel filter very easy from the hood but i let
the oil flow from below in a can

jerro95 says:

Is this the same way to change the oil for a 2003 VW Golf?

Luis Angon says:

Where is the oil mark supposed to be on the dipstick?

thetwopointslow says:

Awesome video, I’ll definitely use it when I change my oil. But do you need
to fill up the new filter with oil before screwing it on? Or will it just
circulate in there by itself when firing up the car? Thanks a bunch for the
upload

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

It depends on where the oil pan drain plug is located. On our Jetta, when
we only lift the front of the car, the drain plug is still at the lowest
point of the oil pan. Therefore, all (or nearly all) the oil drained out
without raising all four wheels.

off topic question..i have a 2003 jetta 2.0 wagon..runs at 2800 rpm’s doing
60mph,,is this normal?

jesus chuy says:

What kind of oil should i use for my jetta same as yours

Zach Shelton says:

I just changed the oil on a 2006 VW new beetle and the oil filter goes into
a plastic housing. I only saw one area for the O-ring. Removed the old
o-ring and replaced with a new one, but, there is a second o-ring with the
fram oil filter I used and I am afraid that there could be a place for a
second o-ring. Could you let me know if that second o-ring is there for
another type of housing or should both o-rings have been used?

Garen Hagopian says:

i actually remove and install the oil filter from above, from the top view
you have perfect access to it…. that way you stay crean 😀

craqqer says:

I laugh at people who pay money to have someone else change oil for them

NickoochPulver says:

If I just have a regular floor jack, can I do this then? Or do I have to
lift the car completly?

battrcake says:

You mentioned inserting a new copper ring/washer after reinstalling the
drain plug. I’ve heard this a lot but since this will be my first oil
change, I’m not sure where to get one, or what kit it comes with. Could you
clarify? Thanks for the great video!

trisha ann says:

I have oil sludge under oil cap, 2000 jetta I don’t think there is a pvc
valve? I heard that could be the problem

Luis Angon says:

My 2000 jetta didn’t have the bottom shield D:

turtlewi says:

I have read a lot about using mobile 1 5-40 synthetic oil is that what you
recommend? Would you recommend using oil detergent to remove sludge? thank
you for any help you can provide? Gregg

ccmeaston says:

@AutoWerksofAmerica Thanks for the reply. On your video clip here at about
1:48 where you are removing the drain bolt, is that some sort of a OEM skid
plate there protecting the bottom of the oil pan ? Or is that the actual
bottom of the oil pan itself ?

ShannonFLHI says:

The Bentley service manual says oil drain plug to oil pan torque is 30Nm
(22 ft-lb) for VW Mk4 Golf/ Jetta 4cyl and 6 cyl engines.

craqqer says:

I laugh at people who pay money to have someone else change their oil for
them

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

We use a floor jack to raise the car but use jack stands to keep it safely
in he air.

lightningsmokerXx says:

Well you saved me the job of typing the same question. I hope he used fully
synthetic oil meeting Volkswagen 502 or 505 spec whatever it is today.

John Doe says:

u went from Mobile 1 to Fram??? WTF?? I hope that’s your car…

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

Should have only one o-ring.

Viccy Quadrilio says:

Lol I have been laughing at myself for a long while. I know its simple just
fucking lazy. I figure it helps keep some people at a job though.

ccmeaston says:

Hello AWoA: I have an 02Jetta which I lowered via coilovers. Recently I
drove over a speed bump at about 10-15 mph and hit the under carriage of
the car. I looked under and saw that the oil pan was scraped/scratch. Do
you think I pinched the oil pan gaskets and will probably experience a leak
in the future ? what other damage do you think I probably caused ?

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

The idea is to get the oil warm enough to flow freely. You don’t have wait
at all, just until you can touch the engine without burning yourself.

Alec Chapman says:

How can you tell on the Dipstick if there’s enough oil? is it the yellow
line? thanks

Huitzilopochtli Calmanani says:

for mexicans watching this video: it’s the same thing with Polo and of
course SEAT cars like Córdoba, Ibiza, León and Alhambra

lightningsmokerXx says:

Fram pfft

Viccy Quadrilio says:

im def giving it a shot soon.

Aspireonthego says:

After a short drive to warm up the oil, how long should I wait for the car
to cool down before changing the oil?

Tunechi Lee says:

It’s an indent near the very bottom that looks like this [ Your oil level
should be within the indent but at the top. Then again if you couldn’t find
it the chances of you being able to understand what I said are slim.

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

@AutoWerksofAmerica The biggest advantage with synthetics is reduced
friction. This can result in better engine performance and higher mpg.

Kenri Ziko says:

Will this work for my 2002 jetta vr6?

AutoWerksofAmerica says:

What you see there is a metal OEM skid plate

jethrowomber says:

1999 Volkswagen VW Jetta VR6 auto around 150000 needs 1 quart every 2 weeks
with some body damage 2000$ is it worth buying? thank you

battrcake says:

There is a line that says “full,” the oil should hit that mark.

craqqer says:

makes sense lol. I just like to save money and it really doesn’t take long.
try it

Viccy Quadrilio says:

lol at 2:04 the guy seemed super surprised and dropped the bolt. thought
that was funny.
