Do you need an oil filter wrench to change the filter in a 1999 VW Passat what other tools are necessary?
For once this is reasonably straightforward. You will require a 10mm socket or even an open-ended spanner, a Posidrive screwdriver and also a filter wrench. There is a 10mm nut securing the engine bay tray in the middle of the fender, all the rest of the fastenings are Dzus style fasteners and may be released using the screwdriver. When replacing the oil filter do not overtighten. The oil cooler is mounted concentrically on the same thread as the oil filter and if the oil filter is over tightened the seal between the oil cooler and the engine block can be split by applying too much pressure. Have a careful inspection with a service lamp while you are under the engine. The coolant connections to the oil cooler can be a problem and if these leak slowly at highway operating temperatures they will be very difficult to detect (as the source of coolant loss) when everything has been reassembled. If your owner's manual recommends oil changes at 15000km intervals I would suggest that these may be reduced (to around 12000km) as the vehicle ages. It would be good to hear some other WikiAnswers opinions on this as I feel that many European manufacturers are only aiming at a five year life with their service recommendations.
