Why Is an Oil Change Important?

Local Volkswagen oil changes in San Antonio are among the simplest automotive services but also the most important. A modern engine has many moving parts that generate friction and heat, and motor oil is necessary to lubricate those parts to mitigate that friction and absorb the heat that is created. Modern oil also has additives that help combat corrosion and sludge accumulation. Over time, the oil breaks down and becomes less effective. At that point, the engine works harder than it should and creates more friction, heat, and pressure. A regular oil change is required in order to replenish the lubrication and additives before those qualities are no longer present.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

How often you should schedule oil changes depends on a number of factors, including the manufacturer’s recommendation for your particular model and how you use the vehicle. If a vehicle is driven hard, then a more frequent schedule may be warranted. When it comes to modern Volkswagen models, the general rule is to schedule local Volkswagen oil changes every 10,000 miles. You should also change your oil at least once a year, so if you have a Volkswagen vehicle that you only drive on the weekends, for instance, go ahead and change the oil annually even if it hasn’t been 10,000 miles.

Is It Better to Use Conventional or Synthetic Oil?

It’s never the wrong choice for drivers in San Antonio to choose synthetic oil as it is superior to conventional oil in terms of performance and longevity. The question is whether the additional cost of the synthetic oil is worth it, and this depends on a range of factors, including the make, model, and mileage. Synthetic oil is recommended for all local Volkswagen oil changes for modern Volkswagen vehicles. If you have an older VW, conventional oil may be appropriate unless it has more than 100,000 miles, which will likely benefit from the synthetic oil. It’s best to make this determination with a trusted VW technician.

What Is a Certified Volkswagen Oil Change?

All of the oil changes we perform here at the Ancira Volkswagen of San Antonio service center are certified.

What Should You Do When an Oil Warning Light Comes On?

If you’re driving in San Antonio and your oil warning light comes on, pull off the road as soon as it’s safe to do so and turn off the vehicle. Then, call us or roadside assistance. The oil warning light generally indicates an issue with the oil level or pressure; continuing to drive the car in that state can cause irreparable damage to the engine.
