The amount of oil used by a 1.4 TFSI
- Sump guard bolts, nine, 13mm socket.
- Sump plug, 19mm socket or spanner.
- 4 threaded T30 Torx head screws at the front secure the sump guard.
- 7 self-tappers on the sump guard with a T25 Torx head.
- a tool for removing oil filters or apply force.
- oil in 4.5 liters. Since we live in Scotland and it rarely gets hot, I used 5w-30. I would have used 5W-40 if we were still on the south coast. Castrol Magnatec is what I used.
- a little funnel (optional)
- substitute oil filter 6.28 as of the writing date from Euro Car Parts.

- a bowl-shaped container for used oil
- a jack, and I utilized axle stands, a means of supporting the automobile while you are underneath. Never depend on your jack!
