Changing the Engine Oil in Your Car

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

Changing the engine oil in your car is a straightforward process that can be done without damaging the vehicle. First, place the jack under the car and position an oil catch pan underneath. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the sump plug to drain all the oil. Once done, remove the dipstick, clean it with a cloth, and then add the new oil. After finishing, close the engine bay and start the car.
