How often do you need an oil change for the diesel engine?

Volkswagen has a recommendation for oil change service for each type of vehicle. You can check the owner’s manual of your Volkswagen for the service interval recommendation. For most types of vehicles that use conventional oil, the service interval is between 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, you can go as far as 10,000 miles without an oil change when you use synthetic oil.

Diesel vs. Gasoline oil change service

Diesel engines require a different type of motor oil to gasoline engines. Using the wrong type of motor oil for your engine can severely damage the engine. You should check with a certified technician to make sure the right type of motor oil is being used. Diesel engine motor oil has a higher convention of additives, which can be handled by the catalytic convertor of diesel engines, but gasoline engines might not be able to do so.
