VW Models From 2009 – Present = Synthetic Oil w/ 10,000 Mile Changes

Volkswagen car and SUV models manufactured after 2008 are equipped with newer technologies that demand full-synthetic motor oil with an extended change interval every 10,000 miles or annually. Newer models are often equipped with an oil monitoring system that constantly monitors driving factors and signals the driver exactly when to change the oil.

For Volkswagen Model-Years 2008 and Prior = Conventional Oil w/ 5,000 Mile Changes

If your Volkswagen was manufactured before 2009, it is considered to be an older-model with unique design and service requirements compared to newer models. These models generally require conventional motor oil and need more-frequent oil changes as well as regular tune-ups. Older-model Volkswagens from Richfield running on conventional oil need an oil change every six months or 5,000 miles.

Synthetic

Oil tech taking the industry by storm, full-synthetic motor oil represents the peak of modern motor oil technology. Full-synthetic oil comes with enhanced viscosity and resistance of thermal breakdown that causes it to have a slightly higher price due to the enhanced refinement, but this oil also requires less frequent changes to qualify the price premium as an investment that creates more value.

Conventional

The traditional recommendation for new engines with low miles, conventional oil has been the industry’s tried-and-true engine oil for decades. Volkswagens manufactured before 2009 run on conventional oil.

Synthetic Blend

Often explained as a blend of conventional oil made from crude petroleum and manmade synthetics entirely produced in a lab, synthetic blends offer a performance and price point between conventional and full-synthetic engine oils. Synthetic blends are not recommended but can offer attractive benefits to higher-mileage engines that started life with conventional oil.
