Volkswagen recommends having your 2015 Volkswagen Golf R’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Volkswagen Golf R. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
