Synthetic Oil Change

Engine Lubrication & Synthetic Oil

Every Volkswagen model engineered with an internal combustion engine is also equipped with an oil system responsible for keeping the engine lubricated and operating at the factory-specified temperature. Synthetic engine oil represents the pinnacle of modern oil development as it outperforms the alternatives by resisting thermal breakdown for longer. Synthetic oil is completely man-made and does not require any crude petroleum for production. It provides benefits, such as extended oil changes, protecting older engines with significant miles, and reducing overall operational expenses. We recommend changing synthetic oil according to Volkswagen’s recommendation for your model. If your vehicle has oil monitoring, schedule service as the oil life approaches 0%. Lastly, we recommend changing the oil if any warning signs of inadequate engine lubrication occur.

Be Proactive When Scheduling Oil Changes

There are few maintenance services as critical as oil changes. The best way to manage oil change service is proactively due to the importance of keeping the engine lubricated well. If you experience any of the following warning signs of inadequate engine lubrication, it is time to schedule corrective maintenance regardless of the maintenance schedule and the vehicle’s mileage:

• Engine’s average operational temperature increases
• Engine overheats
• Noisier engine operation often described as a knocking sound
• Exhaust fumes are darker than usual
• Dashboard warning light
• Observably leaking oil
• Oil is low and requires repeated topping off
• Smelling oil inside the cabin
