How to Change the Engine Oil in a Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Engine oil

Before you start, open the front bonnet of your Volkswagen Passat. Begin by extracting the engine oil dipstick. Next, put the car in first gear and engage the handbrake, then lift the vehicle. At this point, unscrew and remove the lower nut of the oil sump to allow all the engine oil to drain out. Once all the engine oil has drained, re-tighten the lower nut, and then lower the vehicle. After completing this step, you can add the new oil, successfully finishing the oil change.

We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
