Volkswagen Oil Change Services Offered in Greenland, NH
For your Volkwagen to function properly, your engine’s various components need to be properly lubricated, which is accomplished using motor oil. Fresh oil is optimal, because over time oil degrades and becomes contaminated. When this happens it can create a sludge-like material that is ineffective at lubricating your engine. To prevent this, keep up with a routine oil change schedule, and you’ll avoid costly damage and repairs to your VW’s engine. One of the most difficult parts about an oil change is navigating the various types and determining which is appropriate for your vehicle. Can you use a cheaper option that is not listed in your owner’s manual? Can you use a higher-rated motor oil than yours requires? Our certified technicians at Seacoast Volkswagen can help you identify an appropriate motor oil that will suit your particular needs. Schedule an appointment today, and be sure to check our service specials!
Seacoast Volkswagen Offers Different Types of Motor Oil
Our certified technicians at Seacoast Volkswagen have the expertise needed to efficiently change your motor oil the correct way. First, we will drain the contaminated oil and remove the filter, then we will inspect the reservoir for any leaks. After replacing the filter, we will then add fresh oil to the reservoir that is appropriate for your model. With our oil change services you can’t go wrong! We offer the following types:
- Full Synthetic - Full synthetic engine oil lasts considerably longer than conventional oil; it also keeps your engine cleaner and flows better in both hot and cold conditions.
- Conventional - Made from refined crude oil, conventional engine oil keeps your engine's moving metal components lubricated so that they will not be damaged by friction.
- Semi-Synthetic - This special blend of conventional and synthetic oil can provide some of the benefits of both: it's less expensive than full synthetic oil, but keeps your engine cleaner than conventional.
- Diesel - If your vehicle has a diesel engine, it will require a special oil that has a different viscosity than oil meant for gas engines, as well as additional anti-wear additives.
