Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Audi A6 C4, MK 1 - Years 1994-1997
Part: Oil filter

Replacing the engine oil and its filter is typical DIY maintenance, but be sure to dispose of the used oil at specialized collection centers. To facilitate this maintenance, lift the vehicle on a lift to easily access the oil pan and filter. Then, position a container to catch the oil and unscrew the drain plug located on the side of the oil pan. After draining, reattach the plug and replace the filter using a socket wrench or a band wrench. Coat the gasket of the new filter with oil and screw it into place without over-tightening. Finally, fill the engine with clean oil until reaching the maximum level.

Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
