I followed this step by step, used the same oil you said! Unfortunately I now have a leak from the plug!! New OEM plug and washer as well as PTFE tape on the plug still hasn’t resolved it 😔 have you ever come across it leaking after ?

[@ToolTimeWithTom]

Super odd! Never had a leak, always followed the torque spec and never had any issues. I think PTFE tape is oil soluble so that won't help you. I suppose you could drain it out again into a clean container, use permatex black or equivalent on the bolt threads, only a small amount though, you really don't want any bits of that floating around the box. It should really seal on the washer though, could try nipping it up a bit tighter but again you really don't want to strip the threads out the box!

What oil did you use

[@ToolTimeWithTom]

Should be in the description

I am wondering. The oil bottles you used seem to have a long spout. Does the spout fit into the filter housing hole you placed the funnel in? If so, is it possible to place the inverted bottle spout into the hole to speed filling up? A small hole for a breather may be needed on the top (bottom) of the bottle after it is placed in the housing? What are your thoughts?

[@ToolTimeWithTom]

Yeah you could give it a go, I think the thing that slows it down is there isn't a way for the displaced air to get out of the box

​@@ToolTimeWithTom if I understand how to dsg snorkel works, would it be possible to remove the oil plug under the car, but have the snorkel in, fill up until the snorkel starts to drip. This would give the air a way to escape and do this faster.. Im doing this job today
