Volkswagen recommends having your 2020 Volkswagen Passat’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Passat may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2020 Volkswagen Passat Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Volkswagen Passat? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Volkswagen Passat engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Volkswagen Passat oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Passat exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Volkswagen Passat? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Volkswagen Passat oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Volkswagen Passat oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Volkswagen Passat 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Volkswagen Passat? Every time you change the oil in your Volkswagen Passat, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
