Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to perform an oil change and replace the oil filter on a Volkswagen Golf 4 1.9 TDI. This essential maintenance task helps keep your engine running smoothly and can save you money on professional services. Follow these steps for a successful DIY oil change.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Supplies

Before you begin, ensure you have all the tools and parts required for the job. Here’s what you’ll need:

Tools and Equipment

• Hydraulic jack
• Jack stands
• Oil filter wrench
• 17mm socket and ratchet
• 10mm socket
• Flathead screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Funnel (optional)
• Rags or paper towels
• Oil catch pan

Supplies

• New oil filter
• Engine oil (5W40 recommended)
• Drain plug (if needed)
• Brake cleaner (optional)

Step 2: Prepare the Vehicle

1. Park the car on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool down completely to avoid burns.
3. Use the hydraulic jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.

Step 3: Drain the Old Oil

1. Locate the oil drain plug under the car.
2. Place the oil catch pan underneath the drain plug.
3. Use the 17mm socket to remove the drain plug. Allow the old oil to completely drain into the catch pan.
4. Once drained, clean the drain plug and replace it securely.

Step 4: Remove the Old Oil Filter

1. Locate the oil filter, typically found near the oil pan.
2. Use the oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill out.
3. Ensure the old filter’s rubber O-ring has come off with it; if not, remove it from the engine.

Step 5: Install the New Oil Filter

1. Apply a small amount of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter. This helps create a better seal.
2. Screw the new filter onto the engine by hand until it’s snug. Avoid over-tightening; a firm hand-tightening is sufficient.

Step 6: Add New Engine Oil

1. Remove the oil filler cap on top of the engine.
2. Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of new engine oil into the engine (check your owner's manual for the exact quantity).
3. Replace the oil filler cap securely.

Step 7: Check Oil Level

1. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This allows the new oil to circulate.
2. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes.
3. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. If it's below the recommended mark, add more oil as necessary.
