Are there any videos out there showing how to change the oil in a 2019 Q7 3.0 6 cyl?. I am not finding any. I am guessing the 17-18 Q7 would be the same? Thank you.

It should be the same as shown in this video

Thank you, was surprised to see the oil filter housing, filter, o-ring are identical to my Porsche 911, does anyone know the torque specs?

Right there in the video shows on the cap: 2.5Nm

Yes saw that but the drain plug also has torque specs

2017 Q7 oil change done referenced the video posted in this thread, Used Ams oil Synthetic

I believe it's 30 Nm or 22 ft-lb.

I found the video generally useful for my first oil change at 4k mi (old school) yesterday, with one bizarre exception. The tech loosens, but does not remove, the drain plug. He then tightens the plug, apparently without bothering to change the crush washer. Gotta say that this is not good practice. Every car (mostly German) on which I've ever changed the oil calls for renewing the crush washer when changing the oil.

Other than that, I noticed that his belly pan was fastened with a combination of phillips and torx screws. My 2019 uses only torx (T25 and T27) for this purpose. Further, the drain plug takes a T40.

I asked on another thread about using an evacuation device to suck the oil from the top rather than having to get underneath and removing all the screws from the skid plate. I think when my last free one is done, I’m going that route. Any videos for that method?

Great info. One question to the mechanical guys out there...why do the have so many different screw for the lower engine cover? Time consuming.
