Telling use which engine (2.5L, 1.8T, TDI, V6) will get you more specific answers, but generally, you will find it once you remove the bottom cover. The torx screwdrivers are easy to find at hardware stores. Buy a cheap set that has all the different sizes in one handle (like a pocket knife), and you can get the job done easily (those pocket knife style things aren't ideal, but they will have the right size).





I've heard too many horror stories of places overfilling, not putting oil in, putting the wrong oil in, etc. Besides, there are endless places you can spend ';a few $$';, so you must be asking because you want to spend them somewhere other than waiting on a dealership to do something simple for you.
Access to the oil filter is from the bottom of the engine (looking up, of course).


You must 1st remove the bottom airflow tray. There are abt. 6 torx screws . This requires a special screwdriver. Most car manufacturers are going to these screws, I guess so we have to take it to their dealerships. Which isnt a bad thing, BTW.


In the past , I changed my own oil/filter. Now I take it to my local VW dealership. For just a few $$ , I'm in and out quickly. They do a top-notch job and guarantee the work.


And I dont get oily, sweaty any more.
On the gas engines, the filter is either external on the lower portion of the front side, or internally enclosed in the same area. On the Diesels, it is enclosed on the top front of the engine, under the cover.
A replaceable oil filter cartridge element is on the lower side of the engine!!
