Your 2013 GTI’s oil should be changed according to Volkswagen’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your GTI in the above table. No matter the mileage, your GTI may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Volkswagen recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Volkswagen GTI. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
