I really don't want to be the typical internet naysayer, but the difference in volume is just too much through out your video. It's not soo bad but just as an example. I'm watching this while my kid and wife are already asleep and I have to be cautious about the volume so I'm changing it back and forth. Before I never noticed but now as this is relevant to me I just noticed. You have a great channel and thank you for your work

It is a lot of oil when you pay for the oil change :P Working in a shop selling parts for US cars, customers look upset when they find out they need to buy 10+ liters of oil, but it depends on the car, some diesels need a lot of oil. My own car which has a huge engine, only needs 6 liters at an oil change if I swap the filter as well (which I do at any oil change,) and that's a 8.2 liter V8. (1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille for those curious, it's a 500cid engine.)

Out of curiosity, if you were to spend, say, £15k getting it right… would you still be in the green if you were to sell it? I’d love to see a v12 TDI R8 but seems a shame to not restore a rare car such as this if the chassis leg isn’t out.
