Volkswagen recommends having your 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Cabriolet in the above table. Outside of Volkswagen-recommended oil change intervals, your Cabriolet may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Volkswagen recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Volkswagen Cabriolet. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
