What Does the Oil in My Engine Do?
Your engine is a glorious symphony of intricately moving parts, and all that movement causes plenty of friction. To keep everything moving in there and to prevent the premature erosion of your engine components, we use oil to lubricate these moving parts and to absorb excess heat created through the friction. This keeps everything running smoothly and helps to prevent your engine from overheating!
Why Are Oil Changes Important?
As with all things, time and use eventually cause the oil in your engine to begin to break down and wear out. It can get thick and goopy, eventually losing its ability to effectively absorb heat. This spells trouble for your engine, so changing the old oil out for fresh, clean oil at regular intervals is recommended.
When Does My Volkswagen Car, Crossover, or SUV Need Its Oil Changed?
Without seeing your car in the shop or at least having all its specs in one place, it’s impossible to determine when you should bring your vehicle in for an oil change. If you want to know what your VW model’s recommended oil change interval is, you can consult your owner’s manual. Can’t find the manual? No worries, we’ve got your back. You can always come in to see us to ask about our oil change options, the types of oil we have available, and when you should have yours changed.
What Type of Oil is Best for My Vehicle?
Your car, like all the members of the VW lineup, has oil requirements that are unique to the particular model, year, and even engine option, so it’s hard for us to say what type of oil you should choose here in this blog post. We can, however, let you know which oil is optimal for your vehicle when you come to see us for your oil change. You can also consult your owner’s manual for the recommended type of oil.
