Your 2004 R32’s oil should be changed according to Volkswagen’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your R32 in the above table. Outside of Volkswagen-recommended oil change intervals, your R32 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.
