When should Volkswagens have their oil changed?
The suggested interval for getting an oil change is once per year or once every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first, according to the official Volkswagen website.

A popular motor oil for light-duty gasoline and diesel engines is 5w30. 5w30 is a multi-grade oil, like the majority of modern motor oils, ranging from a lower viscosity grade of 5 to a higher viscosity grade of 30.
The “W” stands for “winter; the number before it denotes the thickness or viscosity of the oil at low temperatures (thus the “W”); the number following it denotes the thickness or viscosity of the oil at higher temperatures, when the engine is operating.
How long does Volkswagen synthetic oil last?
Drivers need to be aware of whether their car uses synthetic or conventional oil. The majority of automobiles use conventional oil, which is the usual kind of oil. You should expect to have your oil changed conventionally every three months or 3,000 miles. The recommended mileage is 5,000 miles, however if your automobile is modern, you can go up to 5,000 miles and still be good.
What about artificial? In a lab, synthetic oil was developed with the goals of having a longer lifespan and being cleaner than regular oil. It is advised to change your oil with synthetic after 5,000 to 7,000 miles, or roughly every six months.
Signs that You Need an Oil Change
Let’s say you don’t remember the last time you had your oil changed. Perhaps you are on a tight budget and want to drive as far as you can without getting an oil change. Whatever your circumstance, you should be aware of the different indications that your vehicle need an oil change. What to look out for includes:
- oil with a murky color. The new oil has an amber tint.
- the engine is making noises. The metal components of the engine are kept lubricated with oil. Without good oil, metal will rub against metal, causing sounds and eventually damage.
- Exhaust smoke or an oily odor. Both of these are bad signs and could point to an oil leak.
- a Check Engine light illuminates. Even if it appears clear, being worried and panicked may prevent you from seeing it. If any of your lights come on, make an appointment for service right away.
