Audi RS3 Complete Oil Change, Tips and Tricks *Built Motor*

[@DorkBunns35]

Thanks man, im about to do my first oil change and this helped me alot!

[@HardwayLearning]

Glad we could help out!

[@srtology]

Liquid moly oil containers do have built in oil spouts. You just pull them out and it extends.

[@HardwayLearning]

Haha, yeah I've learned that trick since 🤣

[@Honda_CRF]

a plug+tube kit is available to drain oil from oil filter, avoiding to spread oil around (VAG part T40057)

[@HardwayLearning]

That would certainly come in handy! I don't mind the poke and spray method myself though

[@Rommellollis]

Liqui Moly (MolyGen) 5w40 is a great oil. Viscosity index rating of 180 👍🏻👍🏻

[@HardwayLearning]

Only the best for the best

[@redacted5052]

Terrific!

[@HardwayLearning]

Yes!

[@TaimurBaig87]

Thank you! Now waiting for brake service 🤣

[@HardwayLearning]

Thank you for your patience 🙏!

[@dcsconsumerreviews1632]

You getting the new model when it comes out?

[@HardwayLearning]

We have another car on the list for our next project 😁

[@teamscoobydoo]

Nice tutorial video! May I ask where you get those jack stands with the rubber mounts? They look different from the links you posted in your description

[@HardwayLearning]

They are Esco jack stands. Feel way safer with them over the traditional kind with the quick release teeth. amzn.to/3ioZ72g

@@HardwayLearning Awesome, Thank you for the quick reply! Keep up with the good work + content :D

[@HardwayLearning]

@@teamscoobydoo thank you for watching, we'll try!

LOL your accent man, “My boy is wicked smaaaaaaht…”

7.5qts? thought it was 7.1qts? Or do built motors require a hair more? thanks!

[@HardwayLearning]

That's interesting, I've always found 7.5qts when I Google it. Perhaps it's 7.1qts without filter? We do fill it past full with the built motor because it has a tendency to consume a little oil. Thanks for watching!

[@christopherlister8932]

@@HardwayLearning cool man yeah I believe it’s 7.1 we’ll see Ive yet to do my first change on the car coming up soon though. Keep up the videos very entertaining build 😂

[@lilharrierstrike1496]

7.1l = 7.5q

[@robertslegers257]

What is the life expectancy on that built RS3 ? I have heard not many of them make it to Social Security.

[@HardwayLearning]

Our first build made it about 5000 miles, but I think it was bad sleeves and bad initial tuning

[@jufer102]

What wheels are those and specs? Looking for options for my red rs3 as well.

[@HardwayLearning]

They are Neuspeed RSE10's in 18x9 +45, wrapped in 245/40r18 RE-71R tires 👍. They have held up well too a lot of abuse and are fairly light for the price

[@lilharrierstrike1496]

Do you know the size of the oil filter housing wrench? 74mm 14 flute?

[@HardwayLearning]

You are correct, link is in description

[@derrickgarcia303]

What’s your wheel and tire set up? Thanks!

[@HardwayLearning]

I think they are Neuspeed RSe10 18x9 et45, with 245/40r18 tires, I THINK

[@dogchainsaw3923]

Just saying the oil pan on the RS3 is actually magnesium, lighter than aluminum.

[@HardwayLearning]

Rocketship materials

[@PeterRanger1980]

What size is the oil filter tool

[@HardwayLearning]

74mm 14 flute, link in description

[@CarTechConnect]

I just did an oil change on my 8Y and it’s showing right below the M in the Max when I check it 5 mins after full op temp (200-205 degrees) is this ok!???

[@HardwayLearning]

People often overfill the DAZA/DNWA engines used in the 8V and 8Y engines (intentionally). You can technically overfill your oil capacity which can cause the oil to foam/cavitate/introduce air into your oil. I don't recall how high on the dipstick that reading is supposed to be (If I recall correctly people try to fill it +1 additional quart). If you are concerned and the 8Y has the same filter housing, you could bleed some oil out of the filter housing as shown in the draining procedure of this video.

[@Misu996]

@@HardwayLearninghey, I just had an oil change on my DAZA Rs3 and the mechanic went over about half quart. Should I be worried? On the dipstick its over the MAX letters, just over it, I think its about half quart over

[@HardwayLearning]

@@Misu996 you will be fine. We have ran a half quart over intentionally

[@jcygts6]

What are your wheel and tire specs?

[@HardwayLearning]

Neuspeed RSe10 18x9 et40 (Satin Black) with 245/40r18 Toyo RE-71R (Discontinued). Just had them wrapped in Yokohama Advan a052 (245/40R18)

[@bvward]

What about a 2008 2.5 NA Raaabbit? Just kidding (my former daily).

[@HardwayLearning]

A wabbit? We love wabbits!

[@bvward]

@@HardwayLearningOnly has 50k on it... Driving an Outback 3.0 for now... H-6 Rules! Not really. Automatic preppy-mom car with "Nantucket" sticker.

[@nickdubya9924]

Does anybody else just keep an old trashed set of rims around and just raise the car enough to slide the rims under the tires? These Audis are such a PITA to lift

[@HardwayLearning]

The old jack stand shuffle

[@youbreakifix544]

Dont use that oil for hard driving

[@HardwayLearning]

We did and it held up better than the OEM weight

[@boostedveedub9687]

5w-40 Nice!!! 😉 better than your previous weight oil? Glad you like it! Enjoy that beast. Your IG Fan nardo_5yl! 😝

[@HardwayLearning]

Yes it seems to consume less at this weight!
