Will an Oil Extractor get all the Oil? | MK8 GTI Oil Change

Today we wanted to see how well our oil extractor would work on an MK8 GTI! Doing an oil change this way allows you to replace the filter and oil, without ever getting under the car! After sucking we take the oil plug out to see how much was leftover!

I love using oil extractors for changing oil. Sooo much easier than crawling under.

The lesson learned when using one of those oil extractors is to always make sure the adapter where the tubing switches to smaller diameter is secured firmly. Mine came off when I was pumping the oil out of the extractor into the oil jug and made a mess.

I just spent 20 minutes watching a guy change oil. This is what I do with my free time. 😆

I never thought an oil change could be so entertaining

From a self certified DIY mechanic, this video is very funny, I have never taken my new 4 runner to the shop. After 80, 000k of oil changes done by myself. Why would I. I love working on my cars.

Great video😂. Keep them coming.

After I took the car out of the dealer floor, within a 3 months I was already getting calls from them to do the first oil change and check up. I just ignored them completely, actually, I told them I can do that all myself to have a blessed day. They never call me again, just sent me silly emails there after. I have a membership to a car wash, everytime I pull up to the Toyota dealership to buy oil, they keep on commenting, ” wow this car looks new.” I grinch every time I see the long line ups of cars waiting to get oil changes and services at the dealership.

Best part is how much the camera guy appreciates your comedy

[franciscojcastillo]

I thank you very much for all your videos, they are very useful, I am from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, and there is no one here who is as specific and professional as you, in VW TSI engines, your instructions are the most complete that there are in yt, Thank you again, I would like your videos to include subtitles in Spanish, we appreciate you very much, and we hope that your channel and your professionalism last forever, thank you

This makes me so happy! I’ve been using an extractor on my MK7 since new. It’s a 2017 with the factory oil drain plug still! 🤣

I don't even own a VW any longer, but still watched and enjoyed the video.

So I'm a volkswagen dealership technician and something that surprised me when I first joined the brand was that VW actually specifically write on service sheets "do not extract oil" so technically VW say that you shouldn't do this but like you say in the video its a known process in the VW and audi community, personally I think no matter how you drain the oil the most important thing is the oils getting replaced either way

My Golf doesn't even have engine oil and I still loved this video.

I changed my oil for the first time on my GTI a few months ago thanks to you!

Love where vw is putting the filter now, just makes it easier

[jeandunow]

I perform an additional step when using an oil extractor (bought mine from Griot's years ago); after removing the pipette from the dip stick tube, wipe it off and place it in the bottom of the filter housing to suck up the remaining oil there. You'll have to pump the handle once or twice while moving the tube around but it works quite well to remove whatever's left. Then install the new oil filter.

Can't believe I've never thought of doing it this way! Will be having a go on my MK8 GTI Clubsport at the weekend.

[billyjoe]

Honestly, changing oil this way is like 100 times easyer, better, cleaner and for sure more pro!

[derrickmuilenburg]

I was surprised to see a steel oil pan and crush washer rather than the composite one from the MK7!

[gadielsantiago]

They wrote the manual to make fun of you lol, lucky to have knowledgeable ppl who point in the right direction.

You guys have a great vibe, thanks for the vids!
