Volkswagen Passat Engine Oil

One of the most important parts of your Volkswagen Passat is the engine oil, which helps keep the engine at a cool temperature while limiting wear and tear caused by friction between parts. To get the most out of your car's motor oil, you need to perform an oil change as part of regular maintenance, so that you're not relying on old oil. You can find everything you need for a Volkswagen Passat oil change at AutoZone.

How to Replace Your Motor Oil

Replacing the motor oil in a Volkswagen Passat is a quick and relatively easy task. Once you've lifted and secured the front of the car off the ground, unscrew the oil drain plug and release all of the oil into a bucket or an oil catch pan. Then screw the plug back in, remove the dirty oil filter, and replace it with a new one. After lowering the car back to the ground, pour in enough oil that it reaches the fill line on the dipstick.

Best Engine Oil For Volkswagen Passat

Figuring out the type of oil for your Volkswagen Passat is even easier than changing the oil. Oil type is determined by the year, make, model, and engine size, so simply consult the owner's manual, or look at the number on the oil cap. Conventional is a fine engine oil for a Volkswagen Passat in most cases, though synthetic offers greater protection.
