To Preface, I haven't done a nifty google search because I don't know exactly what I need to search for. Which is why I turn to the amazing wealth of information here.

My Car:
2003
Volkswagen Jetta GLI
V6 (same as the VR6)
3500 Miles

Oil Change (I drive it like I stole it, not race, just hard)
Went to the local place i've always gone with my other car, they say "Oops, we cannot do this, the canister has a plastic piece, you need a special piece."

Lots of information, no, that is not lame mans terms, that is what they told me, obviously because they felt I could not remember.

My first action, call around!
I called Jiffy Lube - couldn't do it
I called Pep Boys - Didn't have it
I called Dealership Parts (Dealers can do the oil change, they gotta know where the tool is) - "Call a mechanics part store or have us do it"
heh

In summary:

Oil Change
Oil Canister of sorts, 2003+ VW's and Chevy's appear to have this part
Need some special tool to remove it

Anyone have a name of this tool or any off hand thoughts on where I can find said part?
