Changing the oil on a VW 2.5 5 cylinder engine can be fun. The most unique aspect of these engines is the oil filter housing and replacement filter cartridges. By far a unique design regarding consumables and waste. The 2.5 5 cylinder engine is my favorite engine because they're affordable, reliable and can easily exceed 300k miles.

thank you for this detailed visual review. it helped tremendously to ensure the steps i thought were correct were indeed such. idk if i'll ever get a massive wrench socket solely for this one purpose, but if i ever do, i'll mail you $5 as commission. 😂

Where's all the tool specs and information though?

@thehatchback2407 2 месяца назад

Good question worth mentioning. I don't specify tool sizes because they're common. The oil filter wrench is 74.5mm. Overtime I will include more voice overs.

Could I use a normal socket or would I need a filter socket to get the filter off?

Good but, loosen the oil filler cap before draining. Empty the first new oil container. Start the engine to fill new filter. Measure the oil level and, finally, top up to the correct level

Thanks for mentioning. Never thought to do that thinking oil would leak from the oil filter housing. I have an oil change coming up and will loosen the filter prior to draining and see what happens.

Why do you wipe the bottom engine block with the old oil?

@thehatchback2407 Год назад

Great question. Years ago I made the mistake of obsessively cleaning all the oil off the engine surfaces. When you do that every aluminum surface will oxidize and steel surface will rust. If you want to prevent the steel surfaces from rusting, like the bottom of the oil pan, coating the pan with oil will preserve the paint and metal, and appear new like it was just released from production. I like to coat all aluminum and steel surfaces, including nuts and bolts.

@@thehatchback2407 that makes sense. Thanks for the reply and the video!
