Replace Oil on Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Engine oil

Do you want to replace the engine oil in your Audi A3? Here’s how to change the oil along with the filter. Lift the car on a column lift or jack, then remove the plastic panel. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the bolt from the oil sump (after removing the protective plastic panel), allow the fluid to drain into a container, and then screw the bolt back in. After draining the oil from the engine, simply unscrew the oil filter with a socket spanner. Lower the car to the ground and lift the bonnet, securing it. Top up the engine with the new oil.
