Do It Yourself VW Oil Change Service 2.5L 5 Cylinder Gasoline Engine

[@Lobberzillo]

This model has the Air Filter on the motor cover. This took me by surprise because I saw many models with the Air Filter right next to the car battery.

Dude thank God you are the only person so far with videos on the gasoline 5 cylinder Passat 2012. I just bought this car and I'm trying to teach myself how to do everything

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thanks! I have more 2.5L engine content in the works. Like a sparkplug video coming soon!

[@brat.attack.photography]

@@AcetuningTVPerformance that is really great because I am one of those mechanically inclined women. I wan to learn how to do these things for mydelf not because I don’t have a dude, lol, because I do, but he is the opposite of mechanically inclined. I was the kid that took crap apart and put it back together, he was the kid who took things apart and then either lost the pieces or went to the next challenge lol..

Thank you so man! I can easily say you have the best video I’ve found so far!!👍🏼

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thanks

Thanks for pointing out the filter housing bleed button. I have a $20 4' LED shop light I use to light up under the car. Never say anymore 'it's always about the light' during repairs.

[@bobbybrooktownharris8762]

Great video. This is going to help me do mine when the time comes.

[@wm9782]

Thanks for posting this. Doing my own oil after the last company I paid let it all leak out by putting the seals upside down.

[@juliotorres6868]

I like the oil pan fits right in

[@mikimiki195]

Mike after watching a lots of shit videos I’m glad I found your video well done 👍🏻

[@juliotorres6868]

Very good job, well explained! !!

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thank you!

[@-ssch]

Thanks its so helpful. Hi, I am unable to change filter when doing oil change as my wrench didn’t fit . Is it okay to change the filter only by just changing and loosing the oil in the filter only ?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

I would buy the proper socket wrench for the filter canister and change filter every time you change your oil.

[@cf_1509]

Best video I've seen on this thank u

[@mikef6649]

Do you know if there is a place to verify the size of the wrench that takes off the filter? I have a 2013 VW Passat with a 2.5L 5 Cylinder Gas Engine and have found the 74.5 mm 14 Flat on-line, but all the sites that have that wrench do not show that it's compatible with that year or size engine. In your video, it sure looks like the same filter cap as mine, but I'm a little confused why the part store sites are not showing that the year and size engine are compatible.

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thanks for watching! Not sure of a place to varify size but my socket says "AST 2175". I bought it from Amazon.

[@demelom2596]

Great video the only issue is the music a bit loud in order to listen what you saying.

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thanks. Yes, I agree. Amateur editing skills.

[@shabbirw]

Great video! Once you have drained all the oil from the filter housing and the oil pan, how do you know how much oil to put back in?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Thanks for watching! I refer to the owners manual or the internet.

[@MrBenzNYC]

Damn... did the screw drop in the bucket!? Good vid!

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

It sure did! Thanks

[@Mario-iy7hw]

What year and model is the Volkswagen you worked on?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

2013 Jetta 2.5L

[@kevinsam3]

Hi Mike, where did you buy that special socket you described as (14 flute 74.5mm diametre)?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Hello, found it on Amazon.

[@kevinsam3]

@@AcetuningTVPerformance Thanks. I appreciate your video. Doing the DIY job right now.

[@matt12239]

How much quarts does it take?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Maybe 6. Not 100% sure

[@stanleypolynis4722]

Good job brother

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

thank you

[@mikepenta8105]

Great job

[@jamespanda7887]

Wow that vw is rusty underneath. Where do you live?

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

Ontario Canada. The love salting the roads here during the winter months

[@1voiceofstl]

I don't like the new canister filters.

[@AcetuningTVPerformance]

I agree. I replaced the plastic one on my S4 with an aluminum piece from CTS Turbo. Much better.

No need for the music, hard to hear what you're saying

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]
