oil change

Is there a tool that screws into the oil filter drain plug that drains the filter cartridge?

Don't believe so.  Fram made a kit that screwed into the crankcase drain plug that would allow you to open/close the crankcase drain plug during oil changes without removing the drain plug...But I don't know if they still make these kits.  They seem problematic to me -- I would rather remove the plug than have the chance of my plug opening itself.  Only other thing might be an aftermarket VW accessory you could find through the dealer.

Is this post helpful?
