2012 Volkswagen CC Sport Oil Change

[@jimwebber7451]

Good video. I realize there is some debate about whether or not you can use any synthetic oil in a VW engine. I put this for those who want more information. I was talking with my local VW mechanic (been working on them for 45 years) to confirm whether or not I could buy just any synthetic oil for my 2014 CC. He told me that it's real important to make sure the oil specifies the required 'VW 502 00' indicator. Although Mobile1 does make a European Car Formula that does in fact have this indicator on it (it shows VW 502 00 through 505 00), the engine oil used in this video is not compatible with the VW 2.0 engine. It’s not easy to find the Mobile1 European oil. He said the VW engines that weren’t maintained with the correct oil definitely don’t last as long as those that were. He also told me you will notice better fuel economy when using the correct oil. But the main thing is that the improper oil “will damage internal components of the VW engine over time”. He is a local small shop mechanic that I trust. He isn’t benefiting at all by saying this as he knows I change my own oil and wouldn’t steer me wrong. I did more research and although there are a lot of people saying the other oils are “probably fine” or “shouldn’t make any difference”. I’m not taking any chances. Look for ‘502 00’ on the label. :) Just food for thought..... I get mine from blauparts.com it’s $53.83 for the oil and filter. www.blauparts.com/vw-cc-oil-change-kit-5w-30-20t-hps-2009-14.html

Does Mobil European car forumla ow-40 work for 2014 Volkswagen CC ?

[@hype-type210]

Or does it take 5w-30

[@Tracert-mc1hu]

@@hype-type210 I have a 2012 and the manual says 5W-30 or 5W-40

[@muhammadmasterminders]

I use a CC and you just save me loads of money. You EARNED MY SUBSCRIPTION sir!

[@paullorenz6457]

Word of experience, make sure you put the washer back on the drain plug. Also, on my 2010 CC, the drain plug is an 8mm hex. Myself, I use Liqui-Moly 5W-40 and a Mann W719/45 Oil filter. It's the "official" VW 502 00 spec oil. Oil is $41.99 for 5.0 Litres and Filter is &16.99, here in the North Texas area, Advance Auto.

[@erick32683]

Good deal, try XL Parts. That's where I go for my CC I'm in Houston

[@paullorenz6457]

Thanks! Same engine in my 2010 VW CC. Popular motor.

[@thebigbosss1000]

I’m coming back to this video cause I have a low pressure sensor light coming up , what could be the issue this cc are a pain in the butt

[@davidbarthel9976]

I agree with you it should not be over tightened. I had someone tighten it too tight and the part with the black ring remained on the engine and I cannot get it off.

[@jensen3648]

Good video . I have a question sir ! What’s need to change in my 2012 Volkswagen CC sport that don’t wanna start when it have cold weather ?

[@thebigbosss1000]

Don’t those usually use ( Castrol Oil ) or at least that’s what mines says on oil cap I’m wondering

[@leninguzman6181]

I can’t remember why , but last time I tried an oil change the filter AutoZone gave me did not fit. Would anybody know if uses another kind of oil filter ? When I took it to Vavoline they used a different kind 🤔

[@ZachDevan]

They did the same to me. I now know I have an R Line so I always tell the exact model or else they can make that mistake and some have thread sticking out and others don’t. Note which one yours has.

[@leninguzman6181]

@@ZachDevan Turns out I made an error. Mines has a thread. Basically I wasn’t pushing it all the way down so it could screw back on

[@negativeZed]

so many mistakes. 1: Always crank open filter first to see if you can remove it before you start draining oil. 2: While draining open fill cap 3. Replace drain plug washer 4. Wrong oil. VW uses 502 spec oil (bottle has to mention it), and since its EU car it should have special cert for SAPS level. 5. If car was on ramps, drive off, you have to check on level surface.

[@HarborLockRoad]

My 2010 cc 2.0 has a torx type drain plug, my dads sport wagon has a slotted plastic thing. Next one, im going from the top and sucking it out as ive seen done

[@guillermohernandez5105]

Hey so I got cc r line would this be good for mine as well the Volkswagen CC r line 2012 same year

[@thebigbosss1000]

What is that yellow light by the MPH ??

[@biz4twobiz463]

That is the TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) light. If that comes on while driving or when engine is running, then it means a low tire pressure.

[@thebigbosss1000]

@@biz4twobiz463 and because I have after market tires and rims maybe that’s why no ?

[@biz4twobiz463]

@@thebigbosss1000 correct. if your wheels do not have the TMPS sensors (1 per wheel), then you will have that light up all the time. The easy fix, is to go to a tire center and have them check. You might actually have the sensors, but they were never re-programmed to the car.

[@thebigbosss1000]

@@biz4twobiz463 oh okay thank you I have to check that out and get taken care of ,, and what about the washer fluid can I use any kind of does it have to be one specific for the CC ?

[@biz4twobiz463]

@@thebigbosss1000 ... You can use just about any kind sold at the auto centers. Try to stick with an all season. Because those you can use in the winter and summer. It will say on the 1 gallon bottle.

[@icxcnika555]

Man i need to start doing this, super simple beats paying $80-$120 a oil change. What are the best car ramps for the money ? For lowered VW CC

[@allmoneyinzayy3926]

I slammed mine and had to get ramps and honestly was worth getting the ramps for 40$ and about 40 for the oil and filter instead of paying 120 for an oil change constantly

[@Caine459]

Where’d you get ramps

[@jaychen2000metal]

The same with a '14 2.0 turbo?

[@jaimearteaga6439]

simple and clean good job!

[@ProfessorDIY]

You used the wrong oil! IT has to be 5.0 Or above.

[@Deandre2200]

Should have taken the filter off while the oil was draining there was more old oil to come out.

[@payamdoost8242]

was really helpful thank you

[@bradjohnson7753]

what size oil filter wrench?

[@timothyhill9539]

I would love to know this as well.

[@dk_012]

Good video man 👍🏼 quick question do you need a specific torque on the drain plug when tightening back up?

[@KingRom3K9]

I read in forums and other videos that its 22psi

[@finnsgarageLLC]

@@KingRom3K9 PSI? LOL

[@wannaflyme]

@@finnsgarageLLC Don't be mean man. Though I'm doing the same LOL! 22 PSI is the pure love. Let's give that man a tender loving PSI.

[@HomesByGlen]

How odd. My 2013 VW CC Sport Plus uses some stupid Torx bit...T-45, whatever that is. So after borrowing ramps, having metric and SAE sockets and getting dirty, I STILL can't change the damn oil! LOL

[@biz4twobiz463]

Yup. VW used T-45, allen, and hex type oil pan plugs.

[@SF-rs3xm]

I’d just pay 129$ at the dealership isn’t not even that bad considering labour and parts and the health check

[@6lackhippie]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Zeroartsound]

Thank you!

[@650eddie]

So idk why but when I went to change my oil filter it had a female end instead of a Male end and orileys cant find a oil filter that has a female end for that car. They said it should be a Male end. But it's a female end do u know why this is

[@awseble]

Hey man same thing here. Looks like part of the filter is stuck. Check out this video "How to Remove Stuck VW/Volkswagen/Audi Oil Filter Thread Screw by EJS Garage". I'm going to attempt this tomorrow.

[@santiagobustillos9482]
