How to Change the Oil Filter

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf III, MK 3, Golf 3 - Years 1991-1997
Part: Oil filter

The oil filter is one of the most important elements to consider in car maintenance. The oil filter should be changed every time you change the engine oil. This filter gets dirty easily as it purifies the oil from various impurities. Use a wrench to unscrew the old filter, and in the meantime, go under the car to open the oil plug, completely change it, and open the front bonnet to locate the filter, which has a different position depending on the car. Once done, simply insert the new oil into the appropriate container and screw on the new filter.
