2015 Audi Q3 TSFI and we were going to do an oil change!!!! Okay we are looking
underneath and you can see there are tons of bolts everywhere and the whole
bottom end is pretty much covered. It's all it's all covered, so we're gonna take
everything off we're gonna look at it through the backside here these bolts
here we can see they're just a half turn then they pop right out and we can see
right here I'm gonna zoom in we have three Torx bits and they are Torx 25 so
we got one two three and then what we have is the side clips and we have four
on each side so we have one two three and then at the back there's a fourth so
and that's each each side now show you these ones actually they stay in so if I
take my screwdriver and just go like this you can actually see I'm gonna turn
there just like that so you can see I loosened it up and now it just goes
there. It's actually loose so you don't even have to take it out so it's not a
screw so you just go down and you just loosen there you go just have to turn
that's all it takes, like I said there's four on each
side just make sure they're loose so they're not your having anything make
sure they're there we go there you go then here we have three one why are we
here, let's get back here - and I can find my finger there let's back out it's
hard here here three of the big Torx ones so those are Torx 45s so we got
three of those so I got my trusty ratchet here, and we're gonna do those
these here so now that they're all out this is actually very very light, we can
just pull this out just like so there we go we're just gonna give it a push down
there now let's see what we see, let's see what size it is and it is yes a T-45
This one doesn't have a magnetic drain plug so I can't do an inspection,
normally I'll do a little inspection if they have a magnetic drain plug
all right so now we're just gonna put this back on, we just gotta line it up
here for our bolt holes I'm just like this is not an easy thing to do is just
with your hand just try to get one of the bolts on each side in. Okay once you
have it tacked up just with that before I tighten anything I keep everything loose
I put in all the other Torx bolts and stuff. You don't want to tighten all the way down
just keep them loose but just thread everything in and then this way
it's easy to move it around because nothing is tightened up in and once you
have all the bolts in then you can start tightening it up on the top side of the
engine and we're gonna complete our oil change, but we just have to change the filter
so if we look on here we can see the filter is on on top, it is right there so
you can see it's right by the dipstick
that's where the oil filter is so what we're gonna do is we are going to take
it out and put a new one in. Now it doesn't leak
everywhere, I just use a regular tool like this to get rid of it, or I should
say to to loosen it now what I usually do is there's a snap here
and then I could just pull up here a little bit and then this way I have a
little bit of room you can see I've just made myself a room and just make sure
you snap back in there, so now what we can do is we can get on the oil filter just
like so and we're gonna pull till we loosen just like that
you can see that's what it looks like so kind of a different looking filter it
has some type of adapter there don't know exactly that's a part number I use
man filters or German filters so they're really good they cost less than OEM and
I not paid anything to say that, it's just just what I use, I don't get
anything from the oil filter company!!! Believe me now we have our our new
filter open it up like so you can see there's our new filter now what we want
to do is you can see here it's dry this is a new o-ring it's dry so what we want
to do is we're just gonna lube it up with a little bit of clean oil so I'm
just gonna do that okay so we've lubed up our filter you
can see there it's got some nice oil on there and now what we're gonna do is
we're just gonna give this a wipe in here make sure it's nice and clean
I'm gonna put the new filter in there line it up I can feel I'm threading it
on
All done so now we just got to fill it up here so we're gonna put this back
that we've popped out just like that you can actually see there's two lines there
where the clip goes so just make sure it's centered again that's back to
normal and then now what we're gonna do. There's our fill cap right there we're
just gonna fill it up and this engine I put 0W40 in so here's what I use.
Now what I actually do is because you don't know exactly how much
it takes, I put in most of the bottle and then what I do is I just check the
dipstick I know once I run it it's gonna go down obviously because once you
start the engine, it's gonna go down it's gonna fill the oil filter and this way I kind
of know roughly where I'm where I'm sitting at and there you can see we're
actually pretty close to where we're supposed to be so I'll put a little bit
more in and then we'll start it running and check it
okay so oil change all done we checked it ran it waited you know a minute
checked on the dipstick everything's good did it little top up it's all good
see it's all clean I know the factory oil is Castrol, and that's what I put in
there and that's what's on the thing, but as long as you meet the VW ratings for
the Audi, that VW 502 00, which that Castrol did, it's written on the back of
the jug then you're okay, so as long as any oil meets this criteria I think you
should be okay anyway that's it for the Audi Q3 oil change I hope you enjoyed if
