Who's Changing Their Own Oil?

I change it myself. It would cost $380 (lol) at Audi or $50 at home. A little more involved than a standard oil change.

What oil/filter are you using and where are you getting them that cheap? That’s what I pay for 5 liters of oil.

I use a Hengst or Mann filter and Mobil 1 ESP 5w30. I can buy 5qt jugs up here for about $38 bucks each when they go on sale which is several times a year. The filters are about $14 or so, and you need two jugs. $50 was probably a bit of an exaggeration.

Canadian Tire OE Plus brand oil has 504 vw spec. It was on sale this weekend for $32 for 5L. Filter is about $10 from rock auto. Probably about $60 bucks total because we need 7.5L.

Yeah, it's rebottled Shell Helix Ultra, which is also the same stuff as Pennzoil and Quaker State Euro LX. Good oil but I prefer the Mobil personally. Being in Winnipeg I would think the 0w is a good option for you, it's not really necessary here.

Good to know. I knew it had to be a major brand rebottled. Love the price and convenience.
