Volkswagen Atlas Engine Oil & Filter Replacement DIY (2018-2021 VW Atlas MQB, 3.6 VR6)

►Modern oils and engines have come a long way but still need regular servicing. Even though the VR6 in the VW Atlas doesn't have the strain of a turbocharger, hauling around all that weight still takes its toll on the engine's lubricants. Replacing your engine oil on or before the 10,000-mile interval is the best thing you can do to ensure your engine stays healthy for thousands of miles to come. Failing to do so will allow the old oil to thicken up and clog the tiny passageways within the engine, preventing anything from circulating.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, performs an oil change on an MQB Volkswagen Atlas.

For those of you with a splash shield: The belly pan has 3 T45 bolts that are in the center of the pan, and about 12 or so T25 bolts around the perimeter of the belly pan.

Hi i was told my alternator needs to be replaced, for a range rover velar, is there a difference from buying an OEM alternator from land rover vs buying it from your site FCP Euro for 1/4 the price? Would appreciate the help thank you!

[@wholmes12383]

No it shouldn't be a difference the only difference would be is your paying for that range rover name on the part.
