You are probably very familiar with the oil change schedule for your current vehicle, but the maintenance needs do vary based on oil type. Conventional oil vehicles have the shortest change schedule with a recommended switch between 3,000 and 5,000 miles. Semi-synthetic oil changes are approximately 5,000 to 7,000 miles and synthetic changes receive the maximum mileage with between 7,000 and 10,000 for most changes. We always change your oil filter when you visit for an oil service to ensure your engine keeps operating efficiently.
When you pump gas, there is always the possibility of random debris entering the fuel lines. Mistakes, such as a fuel door left open, can also impact the fuel system. Your fuel filter serves as a barrier between the fuel in the tank and your fuel lines and larger system. It can trap contaminants and keep them from causing damage elsewhere. This filter’s change schedule varies greatly based on your model, so always defer to your maintenance manual for the recommended replacement schedule. You can also ask about the fuel filter when utilizing our complimentary multi-point inspections.
When you rely on having clean, allergen-free air in your vehicle, regular cabin air filter replacement is a necessity. Filter service is recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles with the same stipulations as the engine filter — certain environments may require more frequent changes. For convenience, you can book this appointment in conjunction with oil changes, tire rotations and other regular services.
Your engine air filter is responsible for removing potentially harmful objects from the outside air before the air pulls through into the engine area. Most Volkswagen models require a change of this filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but your results can vary based on your driving habits. For example, rural drivers on gravel roads or city drivers in vehicle-dense areas may filter out more contaminants on a daily basis and need attention on the low end of the schedule. This filter needs changed regularly in order to keep maximum airflow through to the motor and keep it functioning properly.
When you need Volkswagen service, we are here to help you navigate your options and establish a routine maintenance schedule. We make booking easy with online appointment scheduling, and we employ certified technicians who are ready to follow established Volkswagen procedures for top service. OEM parts are used at our service center, and we offer express service for certain jobs.
