[Vwdiesel] changing oil on a 2001 Golf??

[Herold, Walter L]

You can do it either way.  If you drain through the plug, it's good practice to replace the plug at each oil change.  I have an evolution skid plate on mine.  There is an opening in it for draining.  Just make sure you use the correct oil.  "Synthetic" alone isn't enough
