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.

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.
