Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Checking Engine Oil Level
Engine oil level should be checked when the vehicle is on level ground with the engine at operating temperature. Turn off the engine and wait at least 5 minutes before checking the dipstick to allow oil to drain back into the oil pan.
Oil Change Best Practices
Always use engine oil that meets the specific VW oil quality specifications for your model year. For 2008-2017 models with supercharged or naturally aspirated engines, use VW 502 00 specification oil. For 2018-2025 turbocharged models, use VW 504 00/507 00 specification oil.
Severe Driving Conditions
If the vehicle is operated under severe conditions such as frequent short trips, extensive idling, dusty environments, or track use, consider reducing oil change intervals to 5,000 miles. These conditions accelerate oil degradation and increase engine wear.
Oil Filter Replacement
The oil filter must be replaced at every oil change. Always replace the filter housing O-rings when servicing the filter. Torque the oil filter housing to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) to prevent leaks.
