Dealership SCREWED Him On His New Audi R8... Now I Have To FIX It

On today's episode of WatchJRGO, we are here at German Motorworks, as you guys can see, to rescue an RA. He's rescuing a fellow YouTuber as well, who doesn't know how to change his own oil. We have to. Well, I guess you're changing your own oil, actually. I didn't tell you, it's your job. You know what? I'm down. I need to learn at some point. What is going on, guys? I am WatchJRGO, and today, like I said, here with Tanner Brongart. You guys might know him. He's not an automotive YouTuber, but he definitely does automotive YouTube things like buying R8s and throwing superchargers on them. I'm an automotive poser. I love it. I love it. Today, we have his new R8 here that we did a PPI on. I didn't really talk about it about three months ago when you bought this or something like that. The dealership that he bought it from was supposed to take care of a bunch of problems, and they've taken care of zero of them, right? Yeah, they're doing a great job. Wow. They promised him. The blend door was broken on the AC, and all of the underbody trays had been taken off. At some point when this got wrapped, people took a bunch of stuff off, and they didn't put it back. The dealership promised to make all this right and just take care of him, and they've done literally none of that. Please put a date clause if you ever have a contract when buying a car, so that they can't just wiggle their way out. Yeah, this needs to be done in one month. Yeah. If they're not done by the time this video is up, maybe we'll be naming them. I'm not going to say anything just because... I'll name you. So this is the Sea Raider right there. A V10 dual clutch R8, and it's time for an oil change. Tanner has to go on a road trip in two days or something like that? Yeah. Two days, three days, and nobody could get this thing in, so we have to rescue it. It's no big deal. We've done R8 oil changes before, but it's a bunch of drain plugs, and I didn't want to send them to Jiffy Lube. It just doesn't seem like the ideal place to service an R8. I want the knowledge, and I'll take it from JR himself. I'd be honored. Let's throw it in the air. That's really all there is to do today. We're going to lift this thing up, and drain all the oil out, and throw in some fresh oil. Before we throw this thing all the way up in the air, I'm going to have you get up in there. I threw the ratchet on the oil filter, and basically just back it off. Okay. Don't lean up in here? Yeah. You pretty much just have to lean over the back. You don't even have buttons, so it's the setup. I'm just doing this? Yep. Guys, I'm doing it. You're doing it. Just keep going? Yeah, just keep going until it's completely loose, and then we'll change the filter after we drain the oil down. That's actually probably fine. Grab the ratchet, and we'll run this thing up. The benefit of not having any under trays on this car is the oil change is super easy. Otherwise, you have to remove 30 bolts. With no under trays, it's literally just oil drains. Wow, me getting scammed is a convenience. So now we're under the R8, guys. We're going to pull all the oil drain plugs. We've got one there. Look, somebody even marked it. One there that looks like somebody marked, and we got a little bit of a weep, which was probably that shaft drive oil pump right in that range there. So that's unfortunate, but obviously not a big leak or anything like that. We also, I don't know how we're going to pull this off. We need a shallow pan. We have to drain the oil cooler itself, and then we have oil lines back to the dry sump that need drained too, which you pull somewhere up in here. Right there. Even has a paint pen on it where somebody marked that they tightened it back down. So we have quite a few oil drains to get done here, and we'll steal the big oil drain and get everything done except for that one that's directly over the lift. There's quite a few that you're going to pull. Okay. So let's start with this one because we've got the drain pan here. All right. And we're going to get close to it and no pressure, but normally you can just drop the plug and this will catch it. But if you drop it on this, it'll go all the way down and we'll have a terrible time getting that back. Oh, good. So should I be trying to catch the metal piece on here? You got to catch it. Okay. So good luck. You might get covered in oil. Five millimeter to pull these guys. It was in reverse. Good call on the sleeves. Yeah. Let me get them a little further. I like this jacket. You will be covered in oil. I should have told you to come ready for work. Yeah. Well, it happens. You're a bad boss. What can I say? Wow. Somebody really tightened that. Okay. So now that we're here, now that it's loose, I'm going to go ahead and pull the ratchet off. I might just do this for you so you don't have to get wrecked. But basically you hold up on it as tight as you can and then do that maneuver there. So that's it draining. That well looks pretty good. Let's see if I can get a little, it's still clear. You can see through it. Oh man. Totally in the chocolate factory up in here. That's right. As you guys can see, I'm doing all the work by myself. John's nowhere to be found. I'm actually the one teaching him. Oh, Hey, what's up? Is this, uh, this is what you needed, right? The right socket? Uh, yes. Okay. That's what I needed. Perfect. I ordered this. I'll come back when you're finished. Thank you. All right. This one should have all the oil in it because it's the oil line to the sump from the sump. So here in a moment I get my hand out of there. Oh, so this has like nine quarts in it. It'll probably drain for a while. He might be the one actually doing the work. Yeah. I will. My only job is just finding the washers that fit. I'll just do a POV like this. They'll never know whose hands are whose. Hey Tanner, you're doing a great job on this oil change. I'm glad that you came to get all this work done on your own car. All right guys, we've got the tech angle all set up at 10 newton meters, a bunch of the plugs. Let's see. There's six drain plugs on the V10, this V10 and it changes based on some of the cars. Uh, so there's one here, one here and one here. These three are going to get torqued to 10 newton meters, which is the smallest torque setting, but they're the smallest plugs and it's basically no torque at all. I'm not even sure I trust it. That was probably 12. And then there's another one we have to get to. Yeah, you barely barely have to touch it. Then we have to change our setup completely over to triple square and tighten the next one to 12. Shout out to this thing for having newton meters on it so we don't have to convert it with math. Oh, did I, I might need to turn that up a little bit. There we go. Perfect. 17. We're five newton meters over. I'm cool with that just because I trust it to not back off with a little extra hit on it. And there's one more, this front one, we're going to tighten that one back down. I got to go get another socket again. Did we drain the front one already? Yeah. Let's this one's got a heck of a crush washer on it. I'll tell you that these are like round crush washers and they actually do get crushed down. I feel like 22 is a lot, but this is a huge bolt. Okay, I'm stopping there on that one. Let's wipe this down. I'm going to spray everything down real quick and then we'll get back to finishing this up. I'm going to screen record this footage so I know what to do next time. That's right. You can just use this video next time if you want. It's if you change the oil on your R8, I'm probably just going to annoy you again. Perfect. Well, good job getting this filter off Tanner. You were ready to rock and roll. Let's go. Now we've got all your drain plugs back in. The one thing I actually did. Yes, sir. So we'll grab your filter real quick and drain all that excess oil out of there. And that's all that's left. We'll just fill this thing up. Heck yeah. This one's fighting dude. It's usually no big deal to pop these out of here. I don't know why it wants to be a pain today. I just need to wedge my hand in there. So I have to give up running the old filter. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Oh my God. It really is rough. Come on. New filters. And it is a, uh, Molly O X three, five, zero debt slash four slash four D to be exact. And do our rings obviously. And we're tightening that down right now. It should be right at the bottom of it. It seems tight enough for me. You don't really need Newton meters too, or what? You don't really need to bury these because the O-ring does all the magic. So I just lubed up the O-ring and sent it in. Now we're ready to fill it up. I think nine quarts is the spec and you'll be back on the road. I didn't say, but Tyler's coming. I'm going, Jake's going, the entire Wichita YouTube crew is going to Arkansas. All right, man, you should be ready to rock on your road trip. We filled it up almost to the top and then started it, let it run for about 30 seconds, filled it all the way up. So it's completely ready to rock. You should have, it was actually like nine quarts on the dot, which is surprising. So new filter oil, and we're going to reset the surface indicator, check all your tire pressures. And this thing should be ready to go do Hoonigan stuff on a road trip, because you guys know, you don't want to go out in the engine issues. So that's what we're trying to prevent here. Now, you know how to do the RE oil change and hopefully this thing's ready to rock for another, what's the interval? 6,000 miles? Yeah, I think so. About 6,000. Right at that. Cool. One of my friends bought his R8 and then we were out doing pig trail, which I'm sure we'll do this weekend. And he swapped ends with an R8, which is impressive because it's all wheel drive. Also, I shut your lights off. So it stopped dinging. There you go. Um, so don't do that. Basically don't, don't do the old end swap. It was wet. Yeah. So I understand why it happened to him, but I went off a road into a fence once. And so I'm prepared. I'm a little bit more, uh, reserved nowadays. Yeah. He was full sending it up and these turns on pig trail, have you driven it before? Well, they're like switchbacks where you come straight up and then you do like a perfect 180 and you're planning the other way. And it's uphill the whole time, right? So it's on grade and he comes around one of them and the rear end just kept spinning and it went all the way around and it's, there is no room to mess up on pig trail. So it was pretty crazy. Yeah. My days of acting like I'm a professional driver are over. My track record proved that I am not. Hey, it can't be that bad. All right, man. All right. Well, we'll see you in Arkansas and you can take it anytime you want. Cool. Thanks. All right. That is it for today, guys. Thank you so much for watching. Huge shout out to Johnny here at German Motorworks for letting us use the lip for a bit. And don't forget to head on over to shop, watch Jericho.com for cool shirts, not like this. And please like, share, subscribe, do whatever you want to do. And I will talk to you next time. I love doing these exotic oil changes that are like, you know, you have to pull six drain plugs and all this crazy stuff because it's fun. It's like relaxing and time-consuming and a lot better than just dry sumps. They're really cool. All right. Oil change is priced like a diesel oil change. Just the material for that is about one hundred and twenty dollars. Pretty crazy. That's what this thing costs. And it uses even more oil. When I do this diesel, I buy five gallons, two of those two point fives. And that also adds up to somewhere in that ballpark, one hundred and twenty plus dollars. It's crazy what oil changes cost these days, even without labor. I would assume at the dealership that's a five hundred dollar plus oil change. It's got to be expensive. Now, this will probably become an official garage update tomorrow. But today I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of an update. Daniel's been over here all day adding the square accent lights and getting all the other lighting ready to rock and roll in the shop. So the dream garage bill keeps rocking. You can see the little accent lights right there. Now there's a triple game box where it belongs because Eric and I are going to build stairs right there. So you'll be able to come out onto a platform and then step down. And when you're on the platform, the switches are at the correct height. These switches here are still getting ripped out. And Daniel from Knockout Electric is here finishing up the rest of literally the last seconds. I'm excited. So I've got the Control 4 software rocket over here. We've got Composer going. And of course, every switch will be Control 4. So this is an adaptive phase dimmer. This one will be the exterior lights that don't need to dim. And this will be zero to ten volt dimming for the main lights. Nothing tripped and the lights came on. So we'll wait and that'll take a couple seconds to boot up here. And then it may just be ready. Green green might be unprogrammed. So let me go set this to identify. Then we'll make it send out its Zigbee address. One, two, three, four. Hey, they came on. That's so sick. All right. And the address popped up over here. I showed you guys that from 100 feet away because I don't need you seeing the Zigbee addresses. I don't think it matters, but just in case it might matter. The dream garage is moving right along. We can now push accent lights on the garage remote, turn them on and off, dim them, whatever we want to do. And today I'm going to get that amplifier finished so we have music back in the garage. One button. You'll just walk in and this place will be ready to rock and roll. Daniel's finishing up the panel cover there. It's the last piece. And then we're just waiting on the other switches to come in. They'll be here later this week and this place will be done. It has been a day, but as you can see progress on the shop, insane. I need to go up there and change the color temperature on that light. And that one is only a part because we have to hook up the zero to 10 volt dimming. And I'm waiting on that very special dimmer, the same one we bought for the shop, but it'll be here soon. A key pad's going in and the electrical in the garage, other than the mini split. Because why wouldn't the garage have its own HVAC system? That is the last piece that's left. We got to run one more 220 circuit from there over to there. Hang the mini split up and I guess the outlets have to go in for the garage door. But I went ahead and finished wiring the lights just so we could have this done. And it looks amazing in here. It's so bright. I can't wait till this fixture is put together. So it'll probably take a few more minutes to finish up that switch. Get the keypad dimmer that's going to run the outside light and wire that in. It'll also control everything in the garage with one button that's in the wall, or you can switch to the remotes. Whatever you want to do, it'll all work. But we've got accent lighting, we've got big area lighting, nice and bright in here, and all the shadows will disappear when these garage door rails move all the way up to the ceiling. So there you go. Things are moving fast.
