How to change the engine oil in a Volkswagen Golf 7

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

This video shows the steps to perform an engine oil change in a Volkswagen Golf 7. First, lift the car with a jack and ensure it is stable. Next, after removing the under-engine cover, position a container under the oil sump; then, unscrew the drain plug with the appropriate tool and allow the oil to drain; initially, you can use a funnel to direct the oil flow into the container. Once the oil sump is empty, clean the drain plug thoroughly and then refit and tighten it. Now, open the engine bay and proceed to replace the oil by pouring the new fluid into the designated area until the recommended level is reached.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. 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.
