The measure-refill method should also include a note that when measuring the oil coming out, it should be same temp as oil going in. Im not sure how much oil expands when hot but if vw takes this into account maybe this should too to minimize measurement errors.

I did the DSG service yesterday. Was really easy and everything went like in the diy's. I used top fill method and planned to measure the oil temp with vag-com and set the level as done with factory instructions. I lifted all 4 corners so car was level. However, after I dropped exactly 4.5l of oil (+filter), I decided to just measure 4.6l and be done with it. Worked out well, dsg shifts better and the fluid coming out was certainly black when compared to fresh oil. I used Febi dsg oil and vw parts for filter and seals. It took about 40 minutes to fill through the filter hole.  :drinking:

For reference I had my DSG oil and filter changed, along with the filter housing (which was leaking) for £108 with genuine parts at my local indy.
