- pit or hydraulic jack with stands;
- special tool for unscrewing the oil filter (oil filter pliers), strap key-clip or tool HAIZET2172;
- socket for unscrewing the oil drain plug and container (if the oil is not being sucked out), which holds at least 6 liters of oil.
The following spare parts are required to replace worn ones:
- if the oil is not sucked out: aluminum or copper O-ring for the oil drain plug (sometimes supplied with an oil filter);
- oil filter element;
- depending on the engine 5.0–5.5 liters of engine oil. Use only approved VW oil.
Amount of oil to be changed (with filter change):
- 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engine: 5.0 L;
- 5-cylinder petrol and diesel engine: 5.5 liters.
The amount of oil between the marks "min" And "max" on the oil level indicator is 1.5 liters. The oil level must be between these marks. Change the oil every 15,000 km, for a diesel engine every 7,500 km. If the machine is used very little, change the oil once a year. At the same time, the oil filter element is replaced.
Under severe operating conditions, city driving, short distances, frequent cold starts, very dusty conditions: Change engine oil and oil filter more frequently.
Engine oil can also be sucked out with a probe (at a gas station) through the oil filler neck.
Under no circumstances should the oil be dumped anywhere and into household waste, in order to avoid environmental pollution, such as pollution of groundwater.
