Title: DIY oil change
Post by: craig_t on April 13, 2012, 08:01:01 pm

Going to do a small service tomorrow (well plugs and oil/filter) and just wanted to check the amount of all the tfsi engine takes.

Iv brought a 4l bottle but I think I may need another 1l bottle.

Can anyone confirm the exact amount of oil it will take?

usually for oil and filter change you need ~4.8 litres of oil.

always worth buying more and using some of the new oil to flush any of the old stuff through
