How often should fully synthetic oil be changed in a Volkswagen?
1 Answers
Fully synthetic oil in Volkswagen vehicles can typically be changed every 10,000-12,000 kilometers or every six months. If the driving environment is dusty, temperatures are relatively low, or the vehicle is frequently used for short trips, it is recommended to shorten the oil change interval to ensure smooth engine operation. Method for changing the oil: Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate and loosen the oil drain bolt to drain the oil; unscrew the oil filter and place a container beneath it; replace with a new oil filter and add fresh oil. Meaning of oil viscosity grades: The "w" stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. The number after the "w" indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance, with higher numbers signifying better protection under high temperatures. Types of engine oil: Conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oil is a commonly used lubricant on the market, derived from useful substances separated during petroleum refining. Semi-synthetic oil is made from semi-synthetic base oil, a product of mineral oil purified through hydrocracking technology. Fully synthetic oil is the highest grade of engine oil.
