2016 Golf R MK7 First Oil Change After Break-In

- I have about 3,200 miles of hard driving on my Golf R so I decided to do the oil change. I choose Motul Specific oil and bought a service kit from www.ecstuning.com . I had a little bit of metal debris in the oil but it was actually very little compared to what I expected. Now that I have the oil changed I can focus on my next upgrades!
I wanted to note that, I think it's very important to keep the oil changed at an earlier interval than the factory spec if you have a tune and or if you are running an aftermarket air intake that uses any type of filter other than paper.
Thanks for reminding me even the dealer can't be trusted to change the oil. Helpful video, thanks.
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and meticulous way of showing how it's done properly. Learned a whole lot... thanks!
Now that was a perfect video for me for my first 2016 Golf R oil change. I purchased pucks to lift the car up on the jack points and saw you did not lift from the side seams and I got ramps. I'm alone and will not drive up on them, but will lift the car up with floor jacks and yes use my new lift puck and place the drive on ramps under the front wheels and of course chocks behind the rear wheels. Thanks!
Great choice in using Motul oil! Nothing but great reviews on VW and Audi forums. Liqui Moly is good oil too. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the extremely detailed video, thanks to this I did the oil change on my cupra 2018. Will check your other vids.
Just wanted to give my 2 cents on these cartridge filters. When you unscrew the cap and pull the cup; it's not pushing down on the flow-back valve thingy anymore. So whatever amount is in there will drain to the pan immediately. It's the same on Volvo and every other brand using this type of setup. Not a bad location for a filter, best place I've ever seen to date.
The tech you had sounds like a nincompoop with Parkinson to spill like that. A ratchet to the face is in order!
Hey thanks that is good to know!
Hey man this was a great video. I have a GTI but most of what you said applies also - thanks a lot for posting!
Guess who got they're gti bought back at cost and got an R?!!........THIS GUY! still got the free roof rack even.
Oil looks good for a fresh engine indeed, that much is to be expected for the first 2-3 oil changes.
+MechRider89 Dude!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome news!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!! The manager even offered to show me the ropes when it comes to circuit racing, he used to race super bikes and cars so its even more of a bonus. Buy a car gain a race buddy!
Nice video just picked up my 2017 GTI, will be doing my first oil change around 1000KM
6XX miles. I know over doing it just for my OED.
Shouldn't the oil filter catch the metal??
Hey guys I just stumbled across this video. Great video by the way very informative and easy steps to follow. One thing i wanted to touch on is that I've seen in other oil change videos that they always start the car then check the dipstick level.. of course it's going to be LOW after starting the engine as the engine will have pulled oil through the engine making the dipstick level read LOW.
Would it not make sense to take car off the jack stands and top up the oil level when on flat ground and have it perfect on the dipstick the your good to go
love this video. will be doing the same way pretty soon. thank you. appreciate it and keep on doing them.
+Denis Sonsing Thanks!
Where did you get that puck for your orange floor jack?
LOL! Good eye! It's a dumbell/barbell weight collar from those 1" bars that they sell at play it again sports.
Doesn't the oil filter capture the tiny metal particles in the engine oil? How come they are still floating in the drained oil?
We need more vids RF - where have you gone?
Great video. Was wondering if you could explain more or potentially make a better video specifically explaining how/where to place the jack and jack stands? looking to swap in my winter wheels/tires.
Sorry for a late response. Check my other video th-cam.com/video/eLdZRJg4cGA/w-d-xo.html this one shows in depth how I set up the stands.
Thanks for the video. I will try to do an oil change now, never did one before. I noticed you checked the oil while it was on your driveway which is inclined. Should car be on flat surface? Just want to make sure I do it correctly. Thanks
Vielen Dank! Super Klasse!
Hi!I was wondering whats your opinion on how to break in the Engine and the car in general?And how did you drive it when it was brand new?Plz try to use simple English beacuse its not my mother tongue.thanks in advance! Btw i really enjoy your videos.
Where did you get that hat? Awesome videos too! I just got myself a 2016 Golf R too and love it! Can't wait to start upgrading/tuning it.
Congrats man! You will love it even more when you go Stage 1 or 2!
Rad Fox I just went stage 1 yesterday and now I can't wait to start working on going stage 2 haha
Sweet!!!!! It is an amazing transformation!
Hey man really love the channel. I just picked up a 19 golf r, and so far I’m loving it. Just wanted your thoughts on the direct injection/carbon buildup that comes with it? Is it overblown?
No. The majority of the inside of the engine will be covered in a layer of carbon by 60k miles.
Great video. Are you going to change the DSG oil yourself as well? Maybe a good topic for another video?
Thanks, I will do a DSG video.
Hey rad, where’s the videos man?
Have you still got the golf, missing your content (even though I’m no longer a dub owner, still enjoy the work you do).
Thanks man! I still have the R. I recently did some upgrades and will make some videos on them. I just put up two new videos talking about some problems I had with my car.
Question, where did you go? Do you still have the Golf R?
Hi when you say your GTI had more metal particles in the oil do you recall how many miles you did when you changed he oil on your old car?
nice videos I just traded my 2015 BRZ for a 2016 GTI 6speed man
Awesome! You know I had a 2015 GTI Autobahn PP 6MT with lighting package right? Have you already flashed it? When you flash to stage 2 you are going to love 3rd gear in that car, you probably already do. When you shift into 3rd the car is an absolute rocket! It pulls so damn hard. Hell if you go Stage 3 with the IS38 turbo you will be in heaven!
+Rad Fox my car only has about 300 miles on it right now so I'm gonna wait and save up to put a new clutch before I tune it. I saw your clutch install video. would you recommend me getting it installed or doing it myself?
WHENZLUNCH ya, you know what's up. A clutch is a lot of work on a FWD car especially if you do it on jack stands. lol!. Once you have done one you have done them all. If you have never done one before you might want to have someone who's done one before be there to help you. The clutch is a pricey mod. If you have to pay for installation it gets worse. I bought the RSR for $1000, but there are stronger more expensive ones out there. My dealer wanted about $800 for the install. I have heard of shops doing it for $500. For me, I was like hell no! $800 is a lot of fun money.
People like the feel of the RSR, because it is almost like stock except the engagement point moved to right off the floor. Everyone who drove my car will stall it on take off. Lol! My stock clutch was holding pretty good with stage 2 but I would never downshift for engine braking and I had figured out a very quick engagement during launch. Then I let someone else drive my car while I was out of town and they took it to the dealer to get a flat fixed and then I came back and the clutch was instantly slipping on moderate acceleration. If you baby the stock clutch it might hold for some time, but if you want to get on it, and shift up and down through the gears you need a stronger clutch for sure.
nice vid. very helpful!
Well done. Helpful vid
+Mannycs2207 thanks!
Just change my oil at 3000 miles. Tried to change it at 2000 but the dealer screwed me, so I did myself!
What happened at the dealer?
+Rad Fox I made an appointment a week of head of time and told them I need a loaner/rental car so I can get to work the lady was ok sounds good... Oh, you don't need to change your oil till 10,000 miles. I was like I know just want to change it as the engine is now broken in etc... The day before I was supposed to drop it off she calls to remind me and I ask did you get me a loaner/rental.... Oh, I called everywhere and no cars are available. (Wtf I was pissed!!!) the went on to say I don't need to change my oil and wanted to know if I was still coming in. I told her I would like to as I was going out of town and wanted to change it before I left town!!! Anyways I called back after I got off work to drop it off and no car was available. Told her to fuck it I'll do it myself and hung up. The lady was so dumb and couldn't figure it out. Ordered the motar kit from ecs and changed it at 3000 instead of 2000. Lol that's my rant...
Dang, it figures! I hate having to depend on others. At least now you know whats involved and won't need to take it in again unless you feel like dealing with their crap. :-)
+Rad Fox I'm trying to stay local... Because, I commute it would be easier to use another dealership. I'll give them one more try. But, I'm leaning towards doing oil changes myself and whatever I can on my own.
How to break in?
Your good man 👍👑
it looks like my 2017 passat with 1.8T has similar engine and oil change procedure as yours. will do my as well..so you think i can re-use the existing screw oil pan "nut"? bcuz i will buy the oil from walmart (prolly) and oem filter from dealer and use the same oil drain plug. also what interval you recommend. i dont want to do 10K. but thinking like 7-7500k?
thank you very helpful!
+Asantha de Silva you are welcome!
Good advice Rad. I changed mine at 1200 but in super OCD. I normally go about 4,000 on motul 8100 or motul X clean 8100. I really want to run that Motul 300v but unless you buy 10 or more 2liter bottles it's way too expensive. It's still a lot even then.
+MrThePrivateer not regularly
+Meat Amigo Damn, you are a connoisseur of fine oils! Hey, do really think that the 8100 is better than Specific for a VW? Isn't 300v really meant for motorcycles with wet clutches?
+Rad Fox Hey Rad I got that 11 today at the drag strip (11.977). I'll put up a video I made but some of the runs didn't record. Unfortunately I didn't have anyone with me to record from the outside but at least I got some in-car.
As far as the motul I always ran the 8100 before I knew there was a specific. As much as I'd like to run the 300v I can't see the justification unless I get the Big turbo. If I could afford to I would run it always since it is a much better oiling ester based or whatever that is. Supposedly much less friction. Comes out to a bit over twice the price of 8100 for an oil change.
+Meat Amigo Hell Ya!!!!! In the 11's!!!! Congratulations!!! What did you do differently? Is it just the tires? What else? Were you running a dog bone insert? Do you get any hop during your launches?
+Meat Amigo I figured the Density Altitude at the track today it was 1330ft
Any problems so far? I recently got a 2017 r and have been driving the crap out of it lol
What are your thoughts on an oil extractor?
I have a mk6 jetta 1.8t se can you show me how to flush and refill the g12 coolant? please.
Good video RadFox. Your weather seems more forgiving about going under the car where you live. Winter has lost its mind up here in Toronto Canada. Since you like to wrench, consider this oil funnel, I bought it the second I saw it. www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2795-oil-filler-funnel-tool-for-bmw-vw-audi-mercedes/ Another tip if you like, coming from the guy who must change oil in sub zero temps, buy a Pela 6000 oil extractor, it pulls the oil through the oil dipstick pipe using a manual extraction pump, you can also then pull all the oil from the oil filter housing which holds a few hundred milliliters due to a check valve near the oil pan sump. I have completed at least 20 successful oil changes this way pulling out more oil then gravity drain. Saves you going under car to remove the bottom engine cover. Good luck and continue the cool informative videos. I need to keep working on the wife that her next car is just like yours ...R...
+Peter Lacza Hey thanks that a cool oil funnel! I'm going to order one.
Dude like yr perfection.
Thanks!
I always do my first oil change at 500 miles then again at 3000. Then ill switch to full syntec after break in.
That's a great plan. Do you ever wonder if there might be an extra oil additive from the factory used that if you change at 500 miles you will lose?
@@RadFox1320 That is correct....
You never replaced the metal o ring gasket between the plastic drain plug and plastic oil pan? This part need to be replaced? Just changed my oil after 3k mi and don't want to have a slow oil leak from my oil plug?!?
what?
nice video! today im changing the oil for my golf r line 2016 i use castrol 5W30 long life oil... is it motul a bettery option??
Castrol Edge Profession OE, is the factory oil. Here is a link at ECS for it, www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VII_R--2.0T_Gen3/Engine/Oil_Service/ES2776767/
I am not sure how the long life compares to it.
As long as the oil you select meets the VW spec(s) then you should be good.
I choose the Motul Specific, just because I think Motul has some really good oil and the 'Specific' was specifically created for VW engines. Since they made it specifically for my car, and took the time to go directly to VW to specifically find out what VW's needed I think/hope I can trust it. Motul has a couple more oils that are probably even better, one that is a lot more expensive, but some say is the best oil there is, Motul 300V, I would need to do some more research before I try it.
When I do my next oil change, I'll be able to take a look at the oil again and see how well it has been holing up.
is itnormal to change the oil only with 3200 miles or well that is 5150 km ...? better for the golf r? and another question please, what's the "average temperature" so to speak... of your oil while hard driving ??
I changed the oil early just to get a look at it. When the engine is breaking in, little pieces of the bearings will wear off into the oil. Since I had tuned the engine early and had been driving the car pretty hard I wanted to see if there were any signs of excessive wear (too much metal in the oil), there wasn't excessive metal so I feel confident that my bearings are good and that the engine has broken in correctly.
If you are tuned and running a CAI, you should consider changing the oil every 5-10k miles. If you are stock, you could wait longer.
I have never noticed my oil ever going over 212 degrees. We could check my drag videos and see if it ever goes any higher.
212 degrees even when pushing it? I have a cupra 290 with the same engine as the Golf R, and mine goes up to 225-230 degrees, mind you I live in a really hot city.
I give you five star 😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Will the oil drain completely with the car tilted so much?
The oil plug is toward the back of the oil pan so the tilt should not effect the amount of oil left in the car.
I am sitting here cringing at the thought of one of those jack handles flopping down on the hood.....ohhh lawd jesus ain't nobody got time fo dat.
+bsfunk44 I thought about it too when I moved them near the car but they were holding strong! :-)
Are you not supposed to use VW's own 5w/30?
You can and I am sure it will be fine. I wanted to try the Motul because Motul makes some good oil and this particular oil was specifically formulated for the VW and not a bunch of other cars. I am considering their 300v oil but it is pretty expensive.
Rad Fox Yeah okay. I would go for the VW-compatible tho.
I've had my Golf for 2 years now. It's such a badly designed car from a maintenance perspective that I will never buy a VW again. You need to take nearly half the vehicle apart to change the oil filter (I have the 2018 2 litre diesel). Shocking design. No wonder VW dealer servicing is so expensive.
shouldn't change the oil so soon. VW has 10k being the first. Need those fine shavings to help seat the rings during that time. Risk burning oil otherwise
the fuck did i just read?
lmfao
How would metal particles help seat rings?
great, another ridiculous comment from know-it-all interweb armchair einstein-gineer
there should be no metal at all, even after 20.000 miles!
Looks like a sloping driveway from this angle.
Ya the driveway is sloping. I checked my oil level on flat ground and it was right up to the top line, right where the stick has the bend. So all is good!
+Rad Fox I mean its scary to jack a car in a sloping driveway. Just a safety precaution, it's just me.
At 8:59 I stopped watching your video..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and meticulous way of showing how it's done properly. Learned a whole lot... thanks!
