Decided to go for 6 month #oil change (recommended for #EA888 - oil is worked hard in this engine; regularly goes over 100° C, car had previously been driven short distances around #London by lads at dealer before it was sold to me)
Got up early to visit #GSF and #EuroCarParts to collect oil, filter, vacuum oil extractor, 32mm socket for #oilfilter both from #Sealey and used #Laser tools 3/8" ratchet I'd recently got for wheel bearing job.
Was quite easy to extract oil through dipstick tube (5,7 litres of it!)
Old filter was from Crosland (Euro Car Parts own brand), goodness knows where oil was from! Date code Dec 2024, so at least car *had* been serviced that year..
Replaced with #MANN filter and #Castrol Edge LL oil (made to VW standard)
