    T6 Oil Filter Access/Location

    Hi folks,

    As per the thread title where is the oil filter in a T6 and what's the access like for competent home mechanicals types?

    Last night the check oil level warning started so I want to do an oil and filter change today.

    Also would you recommend using a flush product with the old oil?

    Cheers,


    Tony

    Skip to about the 5.00 minute mark. Its a cannister filter and you access it from underneath the car near the sump.

        Funny as I linked to that video first and then realised it was a T5 and might be different to a T6.

          Mine is October 2016, T6 but no AdBlue. Maybe some of the mechanicals are T5?

            Could be possibly. The videos linked above are Uk/European spec cars so they might also be a bit different. Your might be right on the edge of when they were switching from T5 to T6 and its a bit of a mix?

            No AdBlue - count yourself lucky. The AdBlue systems are notoriously problematic and very expensive to fix so that's one less thing to worry about.
