2018 Volkswagen Jetta Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Volkswagen Jetta motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Volkswagen Jetta engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Volkswagen Jetta oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Volkswagen exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Volkswagen Jetta oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Volkswagen Jetta oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Volkswagen Jetta oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Volkswagen Jetta could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Jetta's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Volkswagen Jetta during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
