The procedure for changing the engine oil on the Volkswagen Golf involves lifting the car so you can loosen the drain plug located at the bottom of the vehicle: once this plug is loosened, you can collect all the used oil in a container. Once the oil has fully drained, close the plug and open the car's bonnet to access the components in the engine bay: on the left side, you will find the oil filter, which should be removed and replaced.

Finally, top up by adding oil to its reservoir.
