Before you leave a comment saying "You must use 5w40!!" I would like to say that it really doesn't matter that much and anyone who does that from now on will have their comment removed. Simply changing your oil with any similar weight of oil is much better than not changing it at all. Lastly, I want to thank everyone who leaves helpful and thoughtful comments, I appreciate it
Can I change the oil filter without drain the oil? The situation is that I change the oil for my car but I didnt change the oil filter cuz out of the stock but now my car has the fresh oil but the old filter, thank you for your video bro!
Yeah I think you could. Since its on top of the engine you shouldn't lose much oil when replacing it, but have some rags and more oil so you can top it off after you run the engine to circulate oil to the new (dry) filter. Also at 1:45 I show how to replace the filter. Thanks for watching!
Where exactly does the O ring sit. Looking at you holding the plastic filter holder I can't see it sitting on the flange about 1 inch below the threads. Look like it is up on the threads somewhere
I haven't tested any cleaners, but usually just soap and water clean them well. If you want a tire shine, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/zDzIf4G8jkc/v-deo.html
Most parts stores will have one, or just search online for one. Here is a link: www.rmeuropean.com/Products/06L115678Q-MFG211.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzdOlBhCNARIsAPMwjbxuDdDryIZ2J4UuFOfAp7t0teusr8csPPBV7z5snfLjccKBwErLVLgaAiuXEALw_wcB
I tried to find out what oil type to use however I can't find it. This is for my neighbor's car. They have 2018 VW Passat 2.0T engine. Some videos show 0w-20, other show 5w-30 as in your case, others suggest 5w-40. Does anyone know what the oil spec is such as vw 508 00 or some other number?
Have you tried looking in the owners manual or even just googling it? After looking online, most people say 0w20, so I'd go with that. Also check the oil fill cap, or a sticker under the hood might tell you.
@@ClayRepairs Thanks. I did search online and yes, there was some mention of 0w-20 and also other types. I wanted to pull up a manual however the site asks for VIN. I will talk to my neighbor and find out.
@@chuckythedoll4815 It really don't matter that much; at that point its just personal preference. Being an ase certified napa tech doesn't mean you're an expert in my car. Also, the amount i mentioned IS correct for my car. Unless you made a better video, don't diss mine.
@@martianata Start with the 5qts and then check it and/or run it for a minute it to fill up the oil filter (which would be empty if you just changed it) and then you'll probably need to add more. Just be on the safe side and check it often when you're filling it up once you get close to 6qts, you don't want to overfill it.

VW recommends Castrol European oil.
Yes, they do indeed
I know use either use 5-40 or 5-30 I would imagine the 5- 30 is winter oil because it’s thinner.
This video helped me change oil for a 2015 6 cylinder Passat. Thanks Clay ❤
Glad it helped!
I have the same car but it says 5.8 quarts of oil.. so now I'm confused cuz I only bought 6 of Castrol full synthetic 5w40
I will start learning how to change the oil filter on my car and teach others to do the same.
Marks on the oil filter cap 😂😂
Maybe you could do a video with your favorite or best car accessories you have seen.
Thanks for the idea! That could make a good video.

Did you replace the oil plug seal also? This wasn't mentioned in your video. Thank you
I didn't replace the crush washer on the drain bolt, but it is a good idea to replace it when you are doing this.
what is the best way to clean under the hood, mine car is full of dust.

Hard to explain. Just sits above the threads

So simple
What kind of wrench did you use to take off the filter ? and how big is It ?
Just a generic 18" adjustable wrench.
32mm socket
Does anyone know where I can get that stick piece to the oil filter cover from. Mine broke off

My 2015 1.8 t Passat requires 5.8 quarts . Important to check this spec before starting
Yeah but I'd get at least 6-7qts to be safe. Mine took over 6qts.

@@ClayRepairs my mechanic told me 4.2 quartz do you think thats good enough?
Definetly add more. At least get close to 6 qts and you'll be fine
U must use 5 w40 oil !!!
Either way is fine. It's really not that big of a deal.
no, u dont have to use 5w40
Did you get the to off? mine feels like it's super glued on tight
What size T bit to remove the drain plug?
T45 I think
5.8QT
The manual and online says 5.8 quarts, but in my experience, it takes more like 6.1 quarts.
@@ClayRepairs I got a 5qt jug and a 1qt jug you think I should put all of it in?

Is it the same for the Passat RLine trim?🤔🤔
Probably as long as it has the same 1.8L engine.
It’ll say in the oil lid most likely, my bother always gets his done for him in his r-line so I can’t exactly answer that question
What size Torx is the drain plug?
To much oil
nope, it was just perfect.
Be original please, dont copy chris fix it out with the old in with the new 🙈
ok lol
He was trying to help! But okay dick
