 a) Have a big pan to catch the oil
 b) Have a few containers (old 2 liter soda bottles or big OJ containers) to
 put the spent oil in for recycling
 c) a funnel for pouring the old oil into your recycling container and for
 putting in the new oil
 d) A new oil filter (BTW a large screw driver puncturing the old oil filter
 works well to unscrew the old oil filter if you don't have a fancy oil
 filter wrench). Most important if you are changing the oil.
 e) rags for cleanup
 f) Cold Fosters (or O'Doul's.. we're all so damned sensitive here as of
 late ;}}) to celebrate afterwards!!

 Also use 15w - 40w , weight oil, like Castrol or Valvoline. Mobil 1 synthetic
would be a great choice too. Use factory VW oil filters only, if possible.
