Volkswagen recommends changing your 2024 Taos’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Taos in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Taos may need its oil changed ASAP 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.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Volkswagen Taos.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2024 Volkswagen Taos

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Volkswagen Taos? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Taos’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Volkswagen Taos 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Taos spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Volkswagen Taos oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Volkswagen Taos oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Volkswagen Taos oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Volkswagen Taos oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Volkswagen Taos? Every time you change the oil in your Volkswagen Taos, 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.
