Should I check my Volkswagen Quantum 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 eventually lead to Volkswagen Quantum engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Volkswagen oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Volkswagen Quantum spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
