In case you hadn't noticed, this is a money saving site, and changing your oil filter at 6,000 miles rather than the recommended 12,000 miles without good reason is money wasting.0 -
Always do them hand tight, unfortunately they're never hand tight when it comes to taking them off again.
Last change involved hand, chain, hand again, screwdriver, skint knuckles, oil up to my shoulder/neck and finally some more chain.0 -

Sounds like a rough night in Amsterdam.0 -
I bent a good screwdriver trying to get a filter off an old car of mine once. Doing it late at night with no possible way of getting a socket wrench had me worried...
Does the oil really have to be changed every 6k miles? I thought Golfs went for at least 12k before any servicing needed to be done.
