Audi A3 Oil Change DIY (2015-2020 MQB Audi 8V A3, S3)

►Changing your Audi's oil is an essential part of proper car care, especially on a performance car like the S3 or even the A3. Engine oil is designed to last for a specific period of time before its molecules begin to wear beyond a point of sufficient lubrication. Leaving old oil in an engine for too long will cause gunk to build up, restricting oil flow and potentially damaging your engine. Replacing your oil yourself is also a great way to reduce service costs and improve your own skills.
Follow along with this DIY as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's professional DIY'er, takes you through how to replace the oil and oil filter on an MQB-platform Audi A3 and S3.

I bought everything to do this myself! I’m going to do it in about two hours from now! I’ll update and let you know how it went 😅 Audi A3 8v s line facelift and I’m done paying near 200 for an oil change haha Edit: just got it done lol the only thing that was hard was putting the skid plate back on since I was using a floor jack 😅 5.2 quarts for the Quattro and bam! My babies purring 😎

[@AJisAngryAgain]

i used to work in a shop with lots of used cars to inspect and if they pass inspection or done with repairs we had to change the oil on it. when you talked about headed home for some lunch or “it’s been about 3 days” it reminded me of one of the technicians i worked with who would often take days to change the oil on his cars 😂😂 so true

[@fcpeuro]

😅😅😅

[@MrVvasquez61]

Love it thanks bro!

[@nataliegrn17]

What kind of oil catch can do you recommend for Audi 3 litre engines?

[@quintonwilliams2799]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ericn3221]

I'm seeing a lot of people online using a siphon for removing the old oil and someone even mentioned that Audi recommends this method. I would especially appreciate hearing from a certified tech regarding this or anyone else with extensive car knowledge.

[@edwsal59]

Great question.

[@fcpeuro]

Yes this is a method you can use. We have a unit designed to vacuum the oil out of the engine - it works well, does take some time to do a full change but is certainly very easy to do compared to doing it on the ground. You can hook it up to shop air or use the built-in vaccum pump. www.fcpeuro.com/products/fluid-extractor-cta-6510

[@flipgurujn]

I use a manual oil extractor. It's a bit of am exercise but once you get 7-10 pumps in, it starts to automatically syphon. I still drain from the drain plug, but I do that at every 15-20k mile interval.

[@stevenregehr1034]

more s3 stuff! maybe a downpipes change

[@juanarias5060]

good tutorial

[@HarpreetSingh-yo9ir]

Tell me whats good in this.

[@rent2ownnz]

GREAT VIDEO .....HOW MUCH OIL IN THTHIS ENGINE? ... READE BELOW FOR ALL OF THE MISSING INFO" might have been a great point to make or list in your description on the first line ... since it is one of the first things you do when prepping this type of service. 1.8L TFSI (8VS57X) = 4.9L (5.2 qt.) | 2.0L TFSI (8VS58L) = 5.5L (5.8 qt.)

[@HarpreetSingh-yo9ir]

They making people fool thats it. How someone can miss that type of critical information which can cause harm to the engine if overfiller or underfilled

[@craigstephens4318]

HaHaHa! Did he just say, ".... it's been about 3 days." ??? Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@fcpeuro]

Too much brake clean has messed with Mike's memory.

[@jesse_1949]

I have an 2016 Audi a3. Can I do the same steps at home myself. Or is this just particularly for the s3?

[@bryntookool]

Same thing

[@adamclewis8750]

Will the oil still drain completely with a front-only jack lift of the car?

[@fcpeuro]

Yes, but in this situation only because the drain plug is to the rear and this helps to drain more oil.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

WTFFFFFFFlock of Birds???? It's a 3 day weekend.... What are you doing working, Mike??? lol

[@fcpeuro]

They won’t let me out!! 😂

[@Wes-mv9zj]

I just got a quote from Audi for $411 for an oil change. Came here to see what could possibly be driving the cost so high.

[@joga9195]

Oil level passing the line or in the line or bit behind the line?

[@fcpeuro]

Right on the line is fine. (or what we go for anyway)

[@HarpreetSingh-yo9ir]

Wowwwww. Now i know how to change the oil. How much should i fill? Until its start overflowing from the fuel cap. Idk why people dont share the major information.

[@prod.zbygage5143]

It isn’t hard to google your motors oil specs 🙄

[@Max-lq9bi]

Why my A3 8V oil filter is at engine bottom? And my oil filter does not have a removable filter insert. Why so different from yours ?

[@smallpants]

Could be the 1.8T engine.

[@emmanouilgiourgis5672]

You have the 1.5/1.4/1.2 version

[@RumelM]

Was there a reason for not opening the oil filter before draining the oil?

[@YooItsAlexx]

To create vacuum.

[@raymonddatadomingo8903]

Hi, how many liters of engine oil to fill that S3?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Raymond, the capacity is 5.7L.

[@felipecastrogeraldo3495]

@@fcpeuro thats the same amount for audi a3 2.0 tfsi 2016?

[@rent2ownnz]

@@felipecastrogeraldo3495 YES! - All of the TFSI are the same as the engine is still the same (must have been a good design to last this long)

on the website it says all S3 i have 2018 Audi A3 will this still work?

[@tofo9186]

referring to the oil change kit

[@victoradame4558]

Check engine light came on does it need both bottles ???

[@antj3976]

yes.

[@dayyyyyyyyyyyy]

wait till you hear about dipsticks

[@chriscipolloni4064]

How many miles for an oil change on a ‘17 A3

[@fcpeuro]

The factory recommends 10,000 miles. We usually recommend 5,000 miles or just slightly more, depending on the driving conditions the car sees, and how you drive.

[@AllBeefWeinerThief]

Do you have to have a new drain plug or can I reuse old one

[@fcpeuro]

Typically the original drain plug can be re-used once or twice, but as it is fairly inexpensive and made of plastic, replacing with new on each change is recommended.

[@cyrefrancisco8605]

So can I use the same oil for a3

[@homewos1838]

Pretty sure yes you can, the a3 s line is different than the a3 base model, both s3 and a3 carry the 2.0t engine, so don't mess that up!

[@bjackson8784]

It took 3 days for the oil to come to a drip?

[@MurdaRez]

mine too 2 weeks to drain completely

[@oren5889]

Plastic oil pan and drain plug? WHY

[@joantrma1238]

hi bro, 5/40 no 5/30??

[@frankiecorrea1004]

I was thinking the same should I be using 5w-40?

[@ChiefOL78]

@@frankiecorrea1004 Personally, this oil is not VW 504/507 approved so I would NOT use it. I would use either: LM Top Tec 4200 5w30 OR Mobil 1 ESP 5w30.

[@aseaton0604]

The Audi s3 8v recommendation is VW 502/505 oils

[@wolleyreikivalley]

wait why did you let it drain for three days

[@fcpeuro]

😅

[@grahammartin4754]

3 days for oil to drip , think hes said wrong there
