At Heritage Volkswagen Parkville, we pride ourselves on putting customers in new Volkswagen models. However, we don't stop thinking of you once you drive off our lot in your new 2018 Volkswagen Jetta or Volkswagen Tiguan. Routine maintenance is an important aspect of car ownership, and regular oil changes are perhaps the most common maintenance you'll need. But why are oil changes necessary? And how often should you get them?

Yes, Regular Oil Changes ARE Necessary

You might be thinking to yourself, "Do I really need to find a service center near me every 3,000 miles to get an oil change?" The short answer is, yes. Manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, and for good reason. Engine oil lubricates and cools your engine's parts, which prevents them from rubbing together, causing friction, and causing your engine to overheat. Dirty oil is not able to cool and lubricate effectively as new oil, which can lead to costly repairs down the road. Overheated engine parts may become warped or need to be replaced. You could end up spending thousands of dollars on replacement and repair instead of around $30-$40 to get your oil changed. At the very least, you may see your bill at the pump increase, since old oil makes your engine use more gas. Fresh oil also effectively cleans your engine by removing dirt or sludge that may get trapped when you're driving your 2018 Volkswagen Passat.
