Using an Oil Extraction Pump

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Engine oil

A very convenient and simple solution for changing the oil without draining it through the drain plug on the oil sump is to use a pump that allows you to extract the used oil through the dipstick tube. Remove the dipstick and insert the suction probe down the tube, ensuring it reaches the bottom of the sump. Next, connect the pump to the battery terminals and extract the used oil, collecting it in a container. Finally, fill the engine with new oil until the maximum level is reached.
