I'm looking at other vehicles.
An alternative is the Jetta 1.4T or 1.8T models. I'm looking into nitty gritty of oil changes.
Do these models have the oil filter on top like the TDI does?
I kind of got spoiled the last 32 years of doing oil changes on our 240D and the Jetta TDI. Both could be done "up top" with an oil extractor. The 240D was the easiest simply because the filter cap is right there and easy to get to. Not too bad on the TDI, slightly more difficult.
Haven't been able to find a good video, etc. online for this, as I did for the TDI.
Was looking at the Mazda3, but its oil filter has to be removed from underneath through an access panel.
