2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T FSI Oil Change DIY Guide (Early B6 gen)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- Here's an oil change video for a 2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T FSI. This video shows the entire oil change process: lifting the car, draining oil, prepping new parts and filling/check the oil. Works for all model years of the VW Passat B6 generation (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011). This video is a definitive and comprehensive guide for how to change oil for a Volkswagen Passat. I believe this 2006 B6 Passat is the EA113 engine. The Passat switched to the EA888 engine found in Volkswagen GTI cars in 2008 and up.

Just an FYI, this is only good for the 2006 to early 2008 2.0 T B6 Passats. Volkswagen switched to the CCTA engine in mid 2008 and the oil change is totally different (filter is a canister filter and it’s on top of the engine).
Hi neo, thanks for pointing this out. I'm going to pin your comment for future viewers and update the title and description. I knew that the car switched to the EA888 engine later in the generation but until I read your comment, I didn't connect two and two that the oil change process would be different. I'm working on an oil change guide for an A4 2.0t. I think that has a later gen EA888 but the oil change process should be similar to the 2008 and up passats. Thank you again for this very good FYI!
Pace is good and the tutorial was thorough. Thanks for doing it

Hi everyone, this is my second oil change how-to guide. Do you like this longer format style of video or would you rather see more tightly edited get-to-the-point videos like my first one? ua-cam.com/video/K698BlOqs7E/v-deo.html
Thank for watching and for your feedback!
Nice good pace of the video. User can always play it at faster speed if they like so leave it as is. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@KirayaUK I appreciate you and your feedback, thank you!
so, I have ramps for my car to sit on, how do I get my car level without starting to move it? or should I just add the right amount of oil before taking the car off the ramps? Tia!!
Hi, once you get more comfortable with your car, you can definitely pour all the oil in and then remove from ramps. As best practice, I usually do like 90%, take it off the ramp (which fills the oil filter too), then check the level and fill as appropriate. To apply that to the Passat, I would fill to 4.5 quarts first, then check the level and let the dipstick confirm for me that it still only needs the .4 quarts it needs to reach the 4.9 quart total. Hope this helps and best of luck!
I forgot to change the gasket on the filter it's that going to be a problem if I change the oil every 4000 km and replace the gasket then ?
If it's leaking it should be fairly obvious. Keep an eye on it for a couple days and if it seems clean, you can probably check it every 500 km. If it starts leaking you can decide if it's worth doing an oil change early or if you can keep it topped off. Hope this helps! Thanks for liking and subscribing too.
Does anyone have any idea if the “retainer post” in the center of the oil filter cap is important? I had a shop change my oil today and they reported back to me that the post in the center that holds the filter in is broken off of the filter cap. It’s an 07 Passat and it doesn’t seem that I can order just the post, it seems as though the post is built into the cap, so I’d have to buy a new cap entirely and the new cap is $212 from the dealership and although I can buy them online for about $15-30, I’ve heard they’re all garbage and leak after a few miles if they don’t leak straight from the manufacturer. Any help or input would be nice, I really can’t afford to replace the filter for $200 and I really don’t want to cause any damage to the engine by running it without that post if that’s possible
Hi, I just did a little digging to see if I can help, so take it with a grain of salt. I think for our BPY EA113 FSI engines, the oil filter retaining post is built into the filter cap. On the 2008 and up models when they switched to the EA888 TSI engine, it looks like you can just pull out and swap retaining posts. I hope the shop didn't just leave the broken post in the filter. It sits on the clean side of the filter, which means little plastic bits could work its way to the engine.
Before buying an OEM cap from the dealer, I would probably first try a reputable site like FCP Euro and get their highest rated OE style filter cap. They have lifetime replacement policy so you could swap your cap on every oil change if it does leak.
Also, use my video and don't go to a shop. 😇Kidding. Good luck, please let me know how it goes and if this comment helped at all.
You dip it and remove it rapidly
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!

This genius didn't show himself taking off the filter portion. Waste of time
Hi Davio, what do you mean? I take off the filter housing here: 03:11 Locate filter filter and drain plug. Every step is in the description as well. You can just click to get to the part you want to see. If you have any questions, I'm happy to help further. Good luck!
