No car or truck can last for its expected lifetime without regular care and maintenance, and there is nothing more essential to the longevity of your vehicle than regular oil changes. When it comes to what kind of oil change you want, you have options. However, not all oil changes are created equal. Some types of oil changes will last longer and provide superior protection for your engine from heat, friction, and debris. Here at Alexandria Volkswagen, our trained and certified Volkswagen technicians will help you to get the best oil change for your make and model.
There are two basic types of engine oil and a range of mixtures of the two. They are synthetic and regular oil. Regular oil is made from 100% petroleum-based materials. Regular oil has been around for almost as long as combustion-powered vehicles. It is a time-tested and proven remedy for heat, friction, and debris which can damage your engine. But there is a superior alternative, a Volkswagen synthetic oil change.
Synthetic oil was invented to protect high-performance aeronautic machines, such as jet engines, to protect against extremes of temperature and friction. Soon after this advanced lubricant was tried and proven it was applied to the automotive industry. Most cars and trucks can perform adequately using traditional oil, but synthetic oil provides greater protection for longer periods of time.
A standard oil change will last for between 3,000 to 5,000 miles. A semi-synthetic will change will last longer, and a full synthetic oil change will last even longer, up to 7,000 miles – and will provide the best available protection for your engine.
Most commercially available vehicles are designed to work well with regular, petroleum-based oil. However, synthetic oil may save you money in the long term by providing longer-lasting and more robust protection than conventional oil. Consult the manufacturer and a qualified automotive technician to find out whether or not a fully synthetic oil is right for your VW.
