[markt4]

how all,...done a oil change for the first time on the t4(myself) all i can say is its so easy nothing to it...for people like me who thought it would be hard,,,all u need is a 17mm socket and a gadget that will twist the oil filter off...so easy i cant belive ive never done it before myself

I do most oil changes myself - mind you I have learnt my lesson from dropping the sump plug into a bucket of VERY hot oil after a flush and diving my hand in to get it. I really should buy new each time.

A screwdriver hammered into the oil filter also acts as a very handy unscrewing device.
