Back yard mechanics with google are the shit im just a dipshit. So today I decided to change oil on my super duty being the dumbass I am figured I should ask the experts if I did it ok. I did it in my shop at home sure hope I didnt mess it up.

Sorry, not really jealous of you. VWs and I dont really get along.

New meaning for service position. I dislike vws even more than dodge.

I have been fighting my 2007 Audi B7 2.0..Burnt exhaust valves..pulled head and sent to shop. Got it back...and running today. Now just got to put it all back together. New injectors, valves, timing chain, timing belt, water pump and a new battery! What a PITA...

Respect for your plight. My kids B8 has been a pita.

I'm a working mechanic for about 35 years now, and I use google/youtube all the time,because I'm constantly reminding myself how little I actually know . The trick is in figuring out what's useful, and what's blatant bullshit. The signal to noise ratio on most forums is pretty low.

Very well said however I am not a mechanic im a technician kinda like the difference between a nurse and a doctor im a doctor. we all have are place nurses are awesome but they are not doctors. Mechanics are not technicians my expertise far exceeds that level just like a doctors expertise far exceeds that of a nurse.

it has a timing belt and a chain you sir have one in a million vehicle.

I guess technically it is a cam chain...and timing belt. However when I ordered the parts they are listed under timing chain and timing belt...

As long as you drained all the oil, not just a quart or two, and hand threaded the oil plug back in before you blasted it on with the 1/2" drive air gun, you probably did okay. Don't over tighten the oil filter.
