thanks beef, thts a proper reply, can i just use a shitty new filter from halfords, and how much oil needs to go back in, as i have no dipstick, besides me of course

Take car for spin to warm oil up, not till really hot though. Big pan under sump plug, undo sump plug, drain it out, take off old filter, sump plug back in with new washer, fill up new filter with new oil, put filled filter on, fill up, check with stick, top up if needs, take for drive, check again, check for leaks from sump. Pretty much.

You need a dipstick first then.
You need to warm the engine up first too, to lower the viscosity and help as much as possible drain out. Let it drain for a good 10 minutes too.

Get a dipstick from scrap yard or maybe halfrauds.
You dont want a shitty filter, you want an oil filter, ask in Halfrauds or have a look in the book for your model.
I assume you mean the engine oil.
Run engine until oil is hot
Lift one front corner of car so you can get to the drain plug
Using a 8mm. square key to undo the drain plug with a recepticle to catch the oil
Allow oil to drain completly, about 20mins.
Undo the oil filter and move the recepticle to catch the oil from both the sump and the filter or use a second receptical
Lower the car so it is level and allow the oil to continue to drain for another 10mins.
Whilst doing this clean up the sump plug and fit a new copper washer and on the new oil filter remove the rubber washer and smear a little engine oil on both sides, replace rubber washer on filter.
When you are happy all the oil has drained lift the car again and refit the sump plug and new oil filter, hand tight.
Lower the car
Refill with the new oil, checking the dip stick level as you go.
Start engine allow to idle until oil gets hot again and check for leaks at the filter and sump plug.
Turn off engine and check dipstick again, top up as necessary.
Drive car normally.
Next day check oil level and for leaks.
Job done.

A 5lltre pack is enough as you never are able to completely drain all the oil.
No universal one. You need one for a 1,2 engine for obvious reasons.

Bit OOT surely. Never done this/seen it done
Removing the rubber seal from the filter tho?
Just rub oil around the seal, no need to remove it.

I've done a few mate, but never removed the ring from the filter and oiled the back of it. Obviously do the front. Maybe i'm not as picky
Golf GTD Mk7
Lol fair play. Any reason for it? Or just for the same reason you wet the front of it?
Correct. Never, Never had a leaking oil filter seal doing it this way.

Nobody else even mentioned it so good on ya! :rasp:
Should surely leave it after running before checking it again though, otherwise too much will be put in...

I've never replaced the copper washer and none of mine have ever leaked. I always oil the front and back of the rubber washer on the filter though. I'd get a new dipstick from Renault, bought one for my van, was sub £20
Yeah probably about 10-20min to let it all drain to the sump.
ps. we're not usually this picky on here btw Scoot1e
Scoot1e? Na, it's Soot!e on account of this, Check out the Black Fabia in these photos,

Does anyone else find getting to the filter an absolute nightmare?
I've got fat hands and can never get to it, so I usually end up taking the front bumper off to give me more room
Yeah it's a b**ch to remove imo. I used one of those chain grippy things and it was hard work. I'm hoping that when I put my oil cooler sandwich plate on it might make it a bit easier to get to.

Don't you reckon one of these would be better to remove the oil filter?
