How to adjust the engine oil level on the Volkswagen Polo 9n

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Engine oil

In this video, we will see how to adjust the engine oil level on the Volkswagen Polo 9n: we start by opening the hood and unscrewing the oil filling cap, then we lift the car: we place a container under the oil pan so that the used oil can drain, then we unscrew the drain plug; we will then dispose of the content at an authorized center; we also prepare a container for the oil filter, which is located nearby, and we deposit it in the container. We clean the area where the filter was located with a specific spray, then we install the new one, greasing the gasket with clean oil. We screw a new drain plug with its new gasket onto the pan, lower the car and fill the filler neck with 3.2 liters of oil recommended by the manufacturer, then check the level, and add oil if necessary. We start the engine for a few minutes and repeat the measurement. Operation completed.
