Types of Oil Changes for Your Volkswagen
New development in motor oil technology has produced synthetic oils that perform better in heavy work conditions or severe climates. While full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil is not recommended for all vehicles, newer models use them. Many vehicles still require a conventional oil change every three months. If synthetic or semi-synthetic oils are recommended for your vehicle, it won’t have to be changed as often. It’s advisable to follow the recommendations from Volkswagen. Regardless of the type of oil change you need, our team will take care of it. We also provide a diesel vehicle oil change.

- Full Synthetic - Full synthetic engine oil lasts considerably longer than conventional oil; it also keeps your engine cleaner and flows better in both hot and cold conditions.

- Semi-Synthetic - This special blend of conventional and synthetic oil can provide some of the benefits of both: it's less expensive than full synthetic oil, but keeps your engine cleaner than conventional.

Volkswagen Motor Oil Changes
When a vehicle is on the road, the engine picks up contaminants like dirt. These get into the motor oil and cause it to degrade and lose viscosity. When this happens, it lowers fuel efficiency and performance. The newer oils have to be changed every 5,000-10,000 miles. Volkswagen will specify the frequency in the owner’s manual. Don’t use synthetic oil unless it is recommended. It can cause significant damage to the motor and void the vehicle’s warranty.
Regular Oil Changes
Following Volkswagen’s guidelines on the type of oil change and how often will keep your vehicle in great shape. Delaying an oil change will eventually lead to engine damage.
