Can't wait for more updates on 2018 Tiguan or any other VW Tiguan...You need to tell your mom or dad that a video you made 5 years ago actually makes sense today. Tell them a random guy, Paul Jones, bought that car in 2024, and called you a visionary, since mainstream could not deliver like you did, five years ago. I watched this in 24 minutes or 6 times, taking notes, I don't have the right tools now, but I know exactly what to expect for this upcoming oil change in 29 days, and I already have the right questions to ask them, from your video. Hats-Off!

Great video thank you. Simple and easy. No silly music, perfect fast-forward moments.

Thank YoUUUUUUU This was sooooo easy...I had to buy the 32 mm socket and oil pan but sill less than half the cost of the local dealership. Quick Oil places are not set up to do this so I ventured out. Easy brother!!!!! Thanks for making a point to click the oil drain plug. So I owe a cold root beer if you ever get to Chattanooga.

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you sharing this informative and comprehensive video... I decided to not change my oil drain plug this time but will the next. Keep up the good work!

VWs have become so nice to work on over the years.

Thanks so much for posting this! I have been waiting for someone to do it! My dealer has some incompetent staff and I don't want my mileage to hit 10k before I do the first oil change but I don't want them doing it lol.

Just like my Mk7 golf, seems the MQB cars are the same. Thanks for putting this together!

Thank you! Planning on doing this in two days. Seems like it could not be simpler.

This is why I love VW! The filters are on the top of the engines!

Awesome video, helped me a lot!

Thank you. that was very helpful.

Thanks to this video I dumped my oil on the side of the road after over filling my engine. Just wanted you to know how helpful this was thank you so much

Great video. Was going to do one but this is perfect.

This was very helpful

Thank you for detail explain.

Thanks mate!! Awesome

Awesome video. Thanks for making it and getting right to it.

Thanks for the help. couldn’t find the drain plug in all that black plastic 😉

Great Video thank you

It’s so much easier than I thought. The dealership and other automotive shops charge so much to change the oil. They say it’s bc it’s foreign, I don’t see what the big deal is to charge $169 to change the oil. I know the oil cost more & you have the filter, it just seems like they take advantage

Bought a 2021 this past august and at about 3k miles currently. Thinking about changing my oil at 4500 or less! When buying the car dealer told me that oil change is at 12k miles!!!

Thank you so much for this video! Straightforward. I am about to change the engine oil myself soon. It seems that you did not use a jack to lift up your car. Will lifting my car a bit with a jack and a stand be easier?

Damn good video

Tnx for sharing 👍

Thank you

Thanks for the video, very well done. Plastic oil pan on the new VW, yikes.

Thank you!

How is the carbon deposits on your valve holding up? Any hesitation on accelerations?

Thanks!

Great video thank you so much! I just changed my oil for the first time. I decided to use Valvoline European Vehicle Full Synthetic 0w20 oil and K&N oil filter. Do you think I should get similar performance with those 2 compared to oem?

Do you need a scanner to reset the computer or something like that?

Do another oil change or getting new set of tyres !

Love the Tekton torque wrench. What do you think about putting some oil in the oil filter cavity? Is this necessary?

Appreciate this video! I just did my oil change it was simple thank you! Question, how do i turn the oil light off on the dash now 😂😂😂?

What type of engine oil temperatures are you seeing in 70F+ weather when cruising on the interstate at 75mph? I feel like the 0W20 weight oil isn’t thick and durable enough for these engines. Why did VW change oil specs, for other than mpg related things? I, and I’m sure you do too, care more about longevity and reliability than a small increase in mpg, 1-2mpg if even that.

Hi great video, i have a question so you have to replace the oil pen plug every oil change??

Have you ever used the oils extractors and not drained the oil from the drain plug at the bottom of the pan?

Is the oil used in this video a full synthetic? I don't see that anywhere on the Castrol label and didn't hear it mentioned in the video.

Thanks good video, quite a bit of oil in these engines at 6 litres! Who has a 32 mm socket in their home garage? Did you purchase that specially? The drain plug and sump pan being plastic is a surprise, how tight is the drain plug meant to be?

I have a 2018 Tiguan R Line.....so this would be the same engine? I am thinking so, correct?

I just cracked the oil plan (plastic!) and had to limp to a advanced auto parts. Drained the oil out and put epoxy to seal the crack and limped home. Now I have to find a way to order the oil pan and replace the whole thing. Any ideas where to get one other than the dealer or how the hell I should access the front screws on the pan? They’re covered by some plastic

Saved me 65 bucks

Just bought a 2019 Tiguan SE. Is the process the same? Also where can I buy the oil/filter and O ring. Can’t seem to find it. Thank You

I have the same car I went to buy the same oil and it tells me it won’t fit my car and on castrols website it says they have nothing for my car? Help??

28 Nm for the housing? that's 20 ft/lbs or 132 In/lbs. Will the plastic housing take that much torque?

Should I be able to get everything you used from a local auto store? Or did some things have to be ordered online?

Where did you but the Castrol edge professional oil at. Great job thanks so much.

Thanks for the great video! Do you know if it's ok to use 5W40 oil? I went to Costco and they said the only oil they could use was 5W40. When they lifted my car, they saw this oil drain plug which they had never seen one like this before and they didn't want to do it because they didn't want to break anything. I showed them the video (that you use only a flat hand screwdriver) but then you use a new oil drain plug which they don't have. Do you know if it is mandatory to change it? Also where do you buy it? Thanks for your help! Lol

Where did you buy your VW 508 oil from?

If I don't have a 32mm socket can I use an adjustable wrench?

How come on my tiguan theres oil still on top where the filter is

where did you buy the oil? how do we find the specs

My tiguan 2018 manual says SAE OW-30. Do you know the difference with OW-20?

I just got a 2020. Hoping to outfit it with a Fumoto valve instead of the drain plug.

Hello,Do you know where to find a gasoline fuel filter for vw jetta hybrid2014 please

Does oil drain plug have to be changed to new one together ?

Did you get the oil at the dealer or online? I get 2 free oil changes a year but I'm not letting the first go to 10k.

Since when did VW use 0W/20? Are sure that you did put the correct oil in? Normally VW designs their engines to use 5W/30...

Did you need to jack the car for this?

I went for the first time engine oil changed yesterday. I confused about how 6 liters motor oil was added to the engine which capacity specification for an oil change with a filter replacement is 4.7 liters ( that’s the official answer from google) By watching your video, you added 6 quarts, around 5.7 liters for perfect result. So it’s normal capacity in reality for every time oil change, right?

Why is the oil green

Plastic oil pan? Crimony! Looks like a BMW short cut. Cheap plastic crap. I’m going to see if there is a conversion kit for a metal oil pan for mine. Yikes 😱!

Gee, why is the engine sounds so noisy... the turbo maybe

you don't even bother to clean the oil filter bracket, by the way the oil was still leaking you already put the drain plug back on. the old oil must be allowed to flow in order to empty as much as possible

the design is so stupid on this one

What a piece of expensive crap! This vehicle looks big and "robust" , but wtf, full plastics, even the oil pan, engine is full of plastic, and it has a timing belt and not a chain. This is why vw are rotten scoundrels! How can you sell this ? It is criminal. It won't last long.
