    An oil change VW drivers can count on

    Booking in for an oil change will give you peace of mind (and can even save you money in the long run!). Keeping your oil clean and topped up will ensure your engine’s running smoothly, as there’s no extra stress on your parts from lack of lubrication, and you’re not burning excess fuel or emissions. But your VW also needs oil to run safely. So if your oil is running low or is looking dirty, it’s time to book in a change.

    How much does a VW oil change cost?

    The average VW oil change price at mycar is between $150 to $200, depending on the model and year of your Volkswagen. It includes your oil change, as well as replacement of your oil filter too.

    How do I know if my VW oil change service is due?

    If you have an oil change service due, VW cars have plenty of ways to let you know! Here’s a few signs and symptoms to look out for:

    • Your VW oil change light is on
    • Your engine oil is dirty or low when checked with the dipstick
    • There is a grinding or clunking sound coming from your engine
    • There is dark smoke coming from your exhaust
    • You can smell oil inside your car

    If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to book in for an oil change!

    How long does a VW oil change take?

    For an oil change service, VW drivers can expect their car to be with their mycar mechanic for at least an hour. Your mechanic will let you know at the time of booking how long your oil change will take and when you can collect your car, so you’ll never be left waiting and wondering. Depending on the amount of work your VW needs, you may be in and out in well under an hour.

    How long can a VW go without an oil change?

    You shouldn’t go more than 12 months in a VW without an oil change. The ideal VW oil change interval is typically every 12 months or 10,000km, but it does depend on how you drive. If you drive longer distances, in the city where you’re stopping and starting a lot, carry heavy loads, etc. you’ll find you go through more oil faster.

    Does VW need full synthetic oil?

    Whether your VW needs full synthetic oil depends on the age of your car. Typically Volkswagens made after 2004 will use synthetic oil, as their design dictates that they need a high level of purity in their oil for proper engine performance and protection. As conventional oil is less refined than synthetic oil, it doesn’t work as well to protect your engine, and sludge can build up over time resulting in clogged parts.

    To make sure you get the right oil for your VW, it’s best to read your owner's manual or check with your mycar mechanic if you aren’t confident what oil you need.
