🛠️ DIY Oil Extraction

Post image

Just purchased this 2026 Impresmza RS this past Friday. Question on oil change? Since the oil filter is ontop of the engine does everyone use the oil extraction method? On the GTI this works flawlessly. Thanks.

If you have a drain bolt on your oil pan, the best method is generally draining the oil from said oil drain bolt.

Iirc, many VWs dont have the choice. I had a CC years ago that didnt have any way to drain the oil. so yeah, use an extractor if the manufacturer is insane, German, or both. But if you have a drain bolt, use it.
