Build it yourself and save on the VW DSG

is perfect for the VW DSG gearbox. Save on a kit compared to the dealer, but you have to remove the battery, then loosen the air intake to access the torch body that houses this filter (requires a 15/16 socket), then the bottom plug with a open large hex key. , 14 mm, as far as I remember. Inside is an 8mm oil tube that keeps you from overfilling the sump. GENTLY remove it CAREFULLY with an 8mm allen key. This beat is fragile, be careful then pour the pain into your CLEAN EMPTY bucket. CAREFULLY CAREFULLY install the oil line, main connector and drain the old oil into a neatly graduated jug. I used a gallon window cleaner jug calibrated with a 1 liter lab cylinder (marine biologist's wife). When 4200ml comes out pour 4200ml into upper filter chamber slowly, VERY slowly, after all it is 75 watts of oil. Then replace the torch (new gasket with o-ring included) and you're good to go. Had to get oil to VW, $25 per litre, needed 4.2 of that left over 800ml for next job, buy 5 bottles, better return one unopened than not enough, I spent about $125 and 2.5 hours ( mostly slow oil inflation) VW wanted $400
