Finally, refill the engine with oil. Be sure to use an oil that carries the dexos2 approval. This oil, Rowe SYNT RS DLS shows the approval on the front label. The 2.8L takes just over 5 liters/quarts of oil. So put in 5 liters/quarts first and check the oil level to see how much you need to add.
The oil drains down to the oil pan, unscrew the housing but do not remove completely. Let it sit for about 1 min (oil will drain down) and then remove the housing and replace the seal. You do not need to drain the oil to do this. Sweet thank you will get this done after work then. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Tapatalk. yeah probably wait on this service till 80K. With the lockdown situation, i am getting ready to do the 50K., with the Engine Oil service, accessory belt, spark plugs, brakes and brakes flush. ATF was something i wasnt sure, but looks like i still got another 30K. 1. Has anyone using a Pela (or other extractor) extracted all the oil it could get, then pull the plug to see if any oil was leftover? In my TDI the Pela did a good job, but didn't get everything I found. 2. Where did you get the filter from? The dealer? Amazon? HU-6002-Z? Planning switching from the factory Castrol to probably Liqui-Moly. As for sticking with OEM and not one of those metal aftermarket ones. The lower half is still plastic and using a metal filter cap can actually weld it together. Plenty of guys found out the hard way on forums and groups. Buy the proper filter housing socket too. VWAG specifies at least two different PNs for OIL filters depending on application for MK7 Golf 1.8T - PN 06K 115 562 (approx $11 CAD before taxes) for MK7 GTI / R - PN 06L 115 562 (approx $18 before taxes at dealer) When I did an oil change on my 1.8T I had an oil filter I had previously bought for my R, so I used this filter. . 356 292 377 285 239 197 95 199 373
