How Often Should Your Volkswagen Get an Oil Change?

Nov 24, 2023

As a Volkswagen owner, you know your car is reliable, fuel-efficient, and safe. A regular oil change at your VW dealer will keep it that way. The certified technicians offer quick VW Service Xpress oil replacements using the best quality oil and OEM Volkswagen filters to keep your Volkswagen engine clean and protected.

Volkswagen Oil Replacement Schedule

The factory recommends that an oil replacement be performed at a 10,000-mile mark or every six months for new Volkswagen models to protect the engine. How often you replace the oil will also depend on your driving conditions.

Your Volkswagen will need an oil replacement more often if you drive under severe conditions, such as towing heavy loads, allowing your vehicle to idle for long periods, driving in stop-and-go traffic, or on uneven and dusty roads. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for information on the oil replacements for your specific model, or speak to your Volkswagen technician.

The Proper Oil and Filters

It’s essential to use high-quality oil to reduce friction and wear and an OEM VW oil filter to keep the oil clean for longer, preventing harmful contaminants from reaching your engine. If you drive a Volkswagen with a gas engine, use oil that complies with VW 502 00. VW 505 00 or 507 00 compliant oil is best for diesel engines. We highly recommend using full synthetic 5W-30, 5W-40, or 0W-40 oil for optimal engine performance.
