Additionally, on these newer 2.0T's, you crack the 18mm to remove it and it immediately leaks out, almost as if the threads do not seal all the way in.
Had this happen on mine when I did my first change (my factory plug was the standard style, not hex key). Was crazy, gunked up a pair of nice mechanics gloves (normally I use the mechanics gloves to remove and loosen everything, then I switch to latex to remove the plug and remove the filter). I cracked the bolt and it hadn't even made a half turn and oil is pouring out.
Also, a thought to ponder about the dealers using suction over drain. The filters are now accessible from the engine bay, so if you then eliminate the drain there is NO reason to lift the vehicle. Oil changes can be done much quicker and without using up a lift bay needed for more serious repairs/services. I wouldn't jump all over the fact that the dealers use them to immediately state that suction is "better". It has a purpose and it is easier and for most cars it makes no difference. But for people like us, is having it be easy more important? Or do we care a little more.
Someone with one of the suction systems should use it, then lift the car and pull the drain plug. Be interesting to see how much is left, and what is in it.
Personally, I plan to swap my plug out with a magnetic one to keep an eye on wear which will require draining.
