We remove the oil plug and oil filter and scavenge all the old oil from inside your engine. Our technicians ensure the plug is in good shape and inspect the oil filter to see if there are any telltale signs of internal engine damage. Any signs of excessive metal flakes and deposits would suggest you have friction caused by a mechanical problem with your engine. When the filter looks good, we replace it with a new one, apply the drain plug, and then top off your motor with the proper amount of oil of the type and viscosity that you choose. Many owners prefer higher viscosities for hotter summertime temperatures and then switch to lower viscosity in the fall.
Regular oil change service is the best way to ensure your Volkswagen will have a strong motor that provides excellent power and service for many more years. All types of motor oil break down and lose their viscosity as more miles accrue. After about 3,000 miles or so of in-town and highway travels, the oil just does not lubricate and protect as well as it did when brand new. The oil filter also collects deposits that can inhibit oil flow if you ignore it for too long. A regular oil change service is your best bet for protecting your engine and getting the best power, fuel economy, and return on your transportation investment.
