Default Is oil change easy for TT??

I would like to change oil to my TT. I've done some oil changes to my previous Nissan car and it was easy. Was wondering has anyone done it by themselves? Does it really require dealer's help?

Thanks.

Default I hope they didn't charge you 4x the amount...

...and also that you didn't put "10 minute oil change" brand oil in your TT.

Skid plate removal is the only time consuming part of the job.. That's probably what screwed up the 10 minute oil change place

Easy to change your oil if you choose to. Just don't go to Quicky Lube place....

The oil filter is a pain in the ***. Takes me 30 minutes to change + Cleanup.

Default 20 min job. Do it myself. Filter isn't a pain if you have the right tool. Get an

oil filter wrench. They only cost like $3 at Walmart. And when you replace the filter dip your finger in fresh oil and put oil around the seal of the new filter before installing it. Then only hand tighten it (but tighen it good). If you use the wrech to tighten it only give it a little help.
