How often should you change the oil in your Volkswagen?

Are you looking for an oil change for your Volkswagen in Ann Arbor? Cars have come a long way since the 3,000 mile oil change recommendation. Today's Volkswagen models have a specific maintenance schedule that can be found in your owner's manual.

If you are still unsure, speak with one of our knowledgeable Volkswagen Service Consultants who know your VW vehicle better than anyone else.

Why is it important to change the oil in your Volkswagen?

Engine oil is responsible for lubricating the components of your engine, preventing friction and overheating as you drive. Over time, oil breaks down and gets dirty from everyday driving, lessening its ability to protect your engine. Additional factors that impact oil life include high-speed driving, stop-and-go driving, carrying heavy loads frequently, and driving off-road may contribute to your vehicle needing more frequent oil changes, which is why regularly changing the oil in your VW vehicle is essential to the life of your engine.
