Buying Oil and Oil filter

trick000 · Mar 28, 2006

I'm thinking of doing the oil changes myself. Anyone have any links to online stores that sell OEM oil filters for our cars? Cheapest place I've found so far is at drivewire.com: $13.20 each plus free shipping on orders over $50.

Also, has anyone taken theirs to a shop for oil changes? How much did it cost?

Looks like you an oil change on a VW is a little bit more involved. You'll need a special tool to drain the oil filter before removing it. Do a search here or in VWVortex...

Ok so since he decided not to share, I did some research. I believe it's the Matra T40057. It can be found here: http://www.samstagsales.com/vwaudi.htm#oil

Here's some more oil change info for the 2.0T FSI.
