Why Does My VW Need Oil Change Service?

Your Volkswagen model's engine is a stunning example of precision German engineering, and it includes several moving metal components that help it perform well. Engine oil keeps these parts lubricated so that they are not damaged by friction; however, oil breaks down as time goes by, making it less effective at lubricating your engine. Going too long between oil changes can lead to your engine having a shortened lifespan or even being damaged or destroyed.

Oil Change Services at Colonial Volkswagen of Medford, Serving Cambridge, MA

Synthetic Oil Change: If you drive a Volkswagen model made after 2004, your vehicle requires a synthetic oil change. Synthetic oil is much better for your engine than conventional oil. It has been synthesized to have a more even molecular structure, making it flow better and providing superior lubrication. Synthetic oil performs better in extreme heat and extreme cold, and it also contains detergent additives that can help keep your engine cleaner. Thanks to its improved longevity, you will only have to have synthetic oil changed once a year or every 10,000 miles -- whichever comes first. We proudly carry genuine VW synthetic oil at Colonial Volkswagen of Medford.
Conventional or Semi-Synthetic Oil Changes: If you drive an older VW model, it may not require synthetic oil. In that case, you can use conventional or semi-synthetic oil, available at Colonial Volkswagen of Medford.
Diesel Oil Change: Vehicles with diesel engines require special oil with different viscosity and additional anti-wear additives. We carry diesel oil at Colonial Volkswagen of Medford.
