Oil Change DIY

[EJBGTIVI]

What are everyone's thought's on using a topside oil changer to suck the oil out? That way you dont have to get under to undo the plug.

Granted on my Golf the filter is on the bottom so I'd still have to get under it.

I think you would be better off draining from the pan. I doubt you can get all the crap that settles at the bottom of the pan otherwise.

Why is this thread in the detailing forum btw.

Lol i have the same ramps. I was giving some gas to go up and the torque pulled them under the car! I didn't give to much gas so IDK what happened.

Thread revival wohv. And yes, why is this in the detailing forum? Either way, I need to change my oil in the next couple weeks so subscribed.

Not to ask a stupid question, but if you change the oil yourself, would it update your dash and tell you how many kms you have left before you have to change it again? If that was unclear, im talking about that little wrench icon that pops up when you change the time on your car.
thanks!

1200 mile oil changes? That's absurd. I hope that was a typo.

Yeah considering 5000 miles is the standard for synthetic...
