    Today we show you how to do an oil change on our MK7 Alltrack 1.8T (MQB). We also compare the traditional method with the oil extractor method. This DIY …

    My b7 Passat has the 1.8t just like this but doesn’t have the plastic oil pan? Any reasons why?

    All modern 1.8t’s have a 5.8 quart oil capacity except for the Alltrack, they take 6 quarts

    I have always wondered about using an oil extractor. This was great information. I guess the extractor would work the same on all makes and models.

    Keep up the great content.

    I've been using my oil extractor for 12+ years, any engine with the oil filter located on top is a good candidate. Tip: find the end of the dipstick at the bottom of the engine and if you have a driveway with some inclination, position the car so that the oil dipstick side of the engine is at the lowest point.

    So maybe once a year do a “full” pull the drain plug oil change.

    Curious I have a 15 Passat TDI since they moved the filter to be accessed from below the car I assume just draining is the best way to change the oil. How about a video on it?

    The advantage of the oil extractor pump is for a DYI it is very easy to do and you stay clean too. I change the engine oil at half the set interval. I don't believe in long change intervals with a 1st gen GDI engine. Besides with my car's engine, the difference between methods was only 100mL anyway. Leaving some undrained oil is not then IMO an issue.

    I love DAP and you guys have some of the most entertaining and educational content but I’ll never hop on the oil extractor train.

    I can't believe that there is no access hole/panel to the drain plug… what a joke

    I’ve bought all my oil and filters from you, and the filters always come with a new drain plug. I would not feel comfortable putting a used plug back in. Also, I bet the oil left in the pan from the extractor had most of the contaminants.

    Can you do a tranny fluid top up or flush on the audi tt ?

    Interesting. I’ve tested this twice on my R and barely anything came out when I removed the drain plug after using the extractor. I feel like the extractor was not moved around enough.

    They should use more metal parts like they did before.

    Oil change on 1.8tsi? You don't change oil you just are just filling it occasionally. It burns oil faster than the speed of light.

    Great video showing how much oil you're leaving behind
