Discover the Risks of High-Mileage Oil Changes in Tinton Falls, NJ

Modern Volkswagen models require synthetic oil, which means that you only need to have oil changes performed once a year or every 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). Even so, oil changes can seem too frequent, and you may be tempted to wait a little longer between oil changes. You may have even heard that this won't cause any real harm -- but what is the truth? At Shrewsbury Volkswagen, we want to help you learn more about your vehicle. That's why we've put together this page with information on higher-mileage oil change schedules. Find out more here, and then come to Shrewsbury Volkswagen to see why drivers from West Long Branch, Shrewsbury, and beyond choose us for VW oil changes and other services.

Why Does My Vehicle Need Oil Changes?

Your vehicle's internal combustion engine has a number of fast-moving metal components. Without proper lubrication, these parts would become damaged by friction; engine oil provides this lubrication. However, the engine oil that lubricates your engine will eventually start to degrade, losing its ability to serve as an effective lubricant.

Downsides of Higher-Mileage Oil Changes

If you go a little extra time or distance between oil changes, you may be pleased when you don't notice any immediate adverse effects. However, this doesn't mean that there aren't any adverse effects; they're just hard to see. As your oil continues to lose its lubricating capabilities, your engine will be subjected to extra friction. While this may not do immediately noticeable damage, it can start to wear down your engine, shortening its overall lifespan.

If you continue to drive without an oil change, you will likely start to notice issues. Eventually, a lack of lubrication will cause your engine to become irreparably damaged, and you will need to replace your engine or get a new vehicle.
