This is true, but this MIGHT make a much bigger mess so keep some rags handy just in case. I've been seeing alot of TTs with oil in the pipe. In an ideal world there would be no oil in it, but sometimes the turbos like to spit out oil where it's not supposed to go.

 

Believe the owners manual has some obscene number like 7,500 miles for oil changes. Personally, I value my cars engine, and therefor do it every 4K.

kovachian, scratch the pipe idea, its easier and faster to pull the plastic engine covers off, and pull the filter out from the top. I wedge rags below the oil filter bracket to catch what continues dribbling out once the filter is removed, works well for me.

I must admit though, I get to change my oil while remaining in the upright position, which makes things tons easier by itself. My garage has a pit, which puts the oil filter at head level, and road crud out of my eyes.

 

Heard there are only a few approved oils and that problems occur if their not used. What is good to use and what about filters?

 

Hey I'm about to do the change too and I think it's not really difficult ...
But the worst part come when the light of service message it's not removed!
Do you know the steps to reset it ?
