Oil Changes at Volkswagen Cypress

What Is Involved In An Oil Change?

When you have your oil changed, there are several things that the mechanic will do. First, they will check the level and condition of your oil. Next, they will drain the old oil out into an oil pan. Over time, your oil filter can become coated with oil, and it won’t be able to do its job of removing impurities from the oil. During the oil change, your mechanic will remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one. Finally, the mechanic will refill the engine with fresh oil.

How Often Should I Have My Oil Changed?

The frequency of your oil changes would depend on the age of your vehicle and the type of oil that you use. If you drive an older car or SUV, you should have your oil changed every 3,000 miles. If you have a newer vehicle, you can go 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing to have your oil changed. Finally, if you use synthetic oil, you can go as far as 15,000 miles before needing to have your oil changed.
