    What is the oil change process for a VW Golf at mycar?

    When you book an oil change with mycar, we follow a step-by-step process:

    • Turn the car on to warm up the oil
    • Lift the VW Golf for easy access
    • Drain the oil and check the plug and washer
    • Perform a VW Golf oil filter change using a premium filter
    • Refill with high-quality oil, tailored to your Golf
    • Turn off the vehicle and check the dipstick

    If the warning light is still on, our technicians will fix it with a VW Golf oil change reset. Don’t worry—it doesn’t mean there’s still a problem, it just needs to be reset each time a service is performed. We can also perform a VW Golf automatic gearbox oil change if required, but we’ll let you know if you need to book it in.

    When should I change the oil in my VW Golf?

    The ideal VW Golf golf oil change interval is around 6 months, or every 10-15,000 km (whichever comes first). A service is also recommended twice a year—so it makes sense to get the oil changed and the car checked over at the same time.

    If you do notice any changes to your Golf such as strange noises or exhaust fumes, you should get the oil checked sooner.

    What oil does a VW Golf take?

    The newest VW Golfs use a fully synthetic 5W30 oil. This is the same whether it’s a petrol or diesel-powered model, and is recommended by Volkswagen for all models after 2004. Synthetic oil has different properties to regular mineral oil, and is better at protecting your Golf’s complex modern engine.

    However, the best oil for your VW will depend on the year of the vehicle, and you can find the answer in your user manual, or ask the friendly mechanics at mycar to point you in the right direction.
