Conventional Oil Change
Conventional motor oil is crude petroleum refined to thin viscosity and given additives to improve composition retention when lubricating within the engine’s harsh environment characterized by intense friction and heat. Although a larger percentage of Volkswagen models on the road today have engines lubricated by synthetic oils, we continue to stock and provide conventional oil changes for those that need it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
Synthetic Oil Change
Full-synthetic is a significantly refined oil produced using petroleum-based resources. It has a composition very different from conventional oil, with a thinner viscosity due to smaller molecules. Synthetic oil’s composition includes additives that offer extended resistance to sludge formation, explaining why it has a 10,000-mile change schedule in normal conditions.
Semi-Synthetic Oil Change
Semi-synthetic oil, often labeled synthetic blend, contains features of conventional and synthetic oils. The advanced synthetic oil thins the viscosity and extends compositional retention longer than conventional oil. Volkswagen drivers whose engines are lubricated with semi-synthetic motor oil have a 5,000 to 7,500-mile change interval.
Diesel Oil Change
Many Volkswagen drivers choose a diesel engine model for better fuel efficiency, greater torque using less fuel, and lower maintenance costs. Diesel engines require oil changes at the recommended miles to achieve the longest-lasting reliability. Visit us when you want diesel oil changes completed to certified Volkswagen standards.

It’s recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 3-6 months. The frequency of needing oil changes depends on various factors, including your vehicle's make and model, driving conditions, and the type of oil used. But always check your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

The best type of oil for your vehicle is specified in your owner's manual. Typically, you'll have the option of conventional, high-mileage, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oil.
