Volkswagen Oil Change Intervals: When to Service Your VW in Myrtle Beach, SC

How Often Should You Change Your Volkswagen's Oil?

Every driver is a little different, but most modern Volkswagen models fall into a general pattern:

• Normal commuting & mixed driving: follow the interval in your owner's manual

• Frequent short trips, stop-and-go traffic, or high heat/humidity: you may benefit from more frequent changes

• Towing, beach trips with heavy loads, or lots of idling: bump your oil change schedule sooner rather than later

If you're not sure where you fall, our advisors can look at your driving habits and mileage and recommend a realistic interval for your specific VW.

Signs Your VW Is Due for an Oil Change

Even if you've lost track of the last service date, your vehicle may be telling you it's time to visit the shop:

• Oil change reminder or maintenance light on the dash

• Engine sounds louder or "rougher" than normal

• Oil on the dipstick looks very dark or dirty

• You've driven a lot more than usual since your last visit

If one or more of these sound familiar, it's a good time to get your oil change on the books.
