Conventional Oil Change

What is Conventional Oil?

When discussing engine oils, conventional oil has been the traditional recommendation for most newer-model vehicles with lower-mileage engines. It is also called regular, basic, and standard oil because it represents the staging point for the alternatives that contain a higher volume of man-made synthetic chemicals that mimic petroleum’s lubricative properties. If your Volkswagen recommends conventional oil for your model, it will also come with an oil change schedule for knowing when to get the oil changed. If your Volkswagen is equipped with an oil change monitoring system, this makes it easy to know when your conventional oil needs to be changed.

Oil Change Schedule

Every Volkswagen engine has been through the rigors of engine oil testing before its release to the market for sale. Volkswagen generally understands how long conventional oil will lubricate the engine’s interval components under favorable to severe conditions. From this research, Volkswagen recommends when to change the oil according to mileage. Volkswagen’s with the high-tech oil monitoring system will signal the driver when the oil begins breaking down and exactly when a change is needed. Here are a few reminders regarding when to change the oil:

• When the oil change monitoring system signals
• According to the oil change maintenance interval found in the owner’s booklet
• In response to the warning signs of broken-down engine oil

Broken-Down Engine Oil can cause…

• Engine runs hotter than normal
