When changing your oil, it is also important to replace the oil filter. Volkswagen recommends using an oil filter that meets the following specifications:
* VW part number 06A115562B
This oil filter will help to remove dirt and debris from your oil, keeping your engine clean and running properly.
You should change your oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. If you drive in severe conditions, such as dusty or muddy roads, you may need to change your oil more frequently.
Changing your oil and oil filter is a relatively simple task that you can do yourself in about 30 minutes. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you can take your car to a qualified mechanic.
