Time for an oil change? The service interval display in the main display will remind you

A VW service employee is conducting an oil change on a VW car, as part of either the flexible or fixed service – VW oil change

Your owner’s manual will inform you when it’s time for an oil change. There are two types of interval when it comes to changing the engine oil:

  • Flexible service:
    According to the service interval display, but at the latest after two years or 30,000 km.
  • Fixed service:
    Every 10.000 km, but at least once a year.

Important: A high number of short distances and cold starts may reduce the time between the intervals. You can inform yourself on our pages about maintenance and inspection intervals.
