Most modern Volkswagens use extended-drain synthetic oil and can go longer between changes than older vehicles-often 10,000 miles or more. Your exact interval depends on your model year, engine type, and driving conditions, so always check your owner's manual or your dashboard service indicator.

Castle Volkswagen of Schaumburg's Service team uses genuine OEM oil and filters to keep your engine running smoothly. Regular oil changes protect your engine, improve fuel economy, and help maintain your warranty. We'll let you know when you're due and make scheduling easy.
