We offer our customers a dedicated Volkswagen Parts & Gear boutique at the service center. One of the most popular services at our service center is an oil change. We offer gasoline and diesel oil change service. Our technicians are familiar with all types of engines in Volkswagen vehicles including the VW TDI engine.
The process of an oil change for a diesel engine is similar to gasoline engines, however, the type of motor oil used is different. Diesel engine motor oil is designed to withstand the higher temperatures of a diesel engine. The motor oil for diesel engines tends to have a higher concentration of additives, which can easily be handled by the catalytic convertor of a diesel engine. However, a gasoline engine is going to struggle with such a high concentration of additives. The wrong type of motor oil can cause severe damage to the engine. It is best to take your Volkswagen to certified technicians who are familiar with Volkswagen vehicles.
Over time the motor oil can get contaminated or thicken due to internal breakdown. The purpose of an oil change is to provide fresh motor oil to the engine. If you ignore oil change service and continue to drive the vehicle with deteriorated motor oil, it can cause several problems. The vehicle’s fuel efficiency is going to decrease and there is going to be an increase in the wear and tear on the engine parts. As motor oil is not going to provide adequate lubrication, there will be an increase in friction between the moving parts of this engine. This will increase the temperature of the engine.
To book an appointment with us, you can simply go to our online service scheduling web page or give us a call and one of the team members will be glad to guide on auto services and parts. We like to keep our processes simple and quick to provide efficient service to our customers. If you have to wait, you can do so at our customer waiting area, equipped with several amenities.
