Should I check my Volkswagen Golf R motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Golf R’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Volkswagen Golf R oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Volkswagen Golf R spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2024 Volkswagen Golf R? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine.

Your 2024 Golf R’s oil should be changed according to Volkswagen’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Golf R may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Volkswagen Golf R. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
