How to replace the oil filter and engine oil of the Volkswagen Golf 7

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Engine oil

Today we will see together how to replace the engine oil and oil filter of the Volkswagen Golf model mk7. Before starting the engine oil replacement, it is important to pour the pre-change liquid into the oil tank to clean it. We open the front hood and pour the pre-change liquid into the engine oil tank; we let the product work for 20 minutes, 10 of which with the engine running. We lift the vehicle off the ground and remove the 19mm nut from the oil pan to let the oil and residues drain into a container. Using a 32mm socket wrench, we unscrew the nut blocking the oil filter box; we remove the box from its seat and replace the filter inside. We mount the box in its housing and tighten the nut on the oil pan to bring the vehicle back to the ground. Finally, we pour the new engine oil into the oil tank.
