> The oil filter change couldn’t be easier, the filter kit will come with 1 crush washer used on the bolt that runs through the filter lid, a small o ring that you replace at the bottom of the bolt, and a large o ring for the filter lid that gets replaced. just drain it, and while its draining pop off the lid by removing the long bolt through the center of it (13mm I think), replace all the little rings/washers, drop in the filter, lid goes back on, bolt back through, the oil filter housing is aluminum I believe so be careful not to strip that bolt.

ok so its AL. ok cool. the GTI had a plastic one with a huge like 35mm socket that u had to use. it was terrible because they crack
