Volkswagen EOS Oil Maintenance

An oil change is one of the most basic maintenance tasks for any vehicle, and Volkswagen CC owners should check their manual or talk to their dealer to learn how often to change their oil. Maintaining the engine’s efficiency and longevity depends on using the correct oil. High-quality multi-grade oil, suitable for most of the year, was used to fill your engine when it left the manufacturer.

The standards for engine oil quality are determined not only by engine and exhaust treatment system specifications but also by fuel standards. Engine oil in any internal combustion engine will eventually become stale and lose its lubricating properties owing to its constant exposure to gasoline and fuel residue.

The engine oil’s primary purpose is to help prevent heat buildup. Heat builds up when the components of an internal combustion engine rub against each other. The oil carries this heat to cooler parts, which protects your VW CC engine. In addition to keeping your car engine clean, oil also picks up dust and debris as it travels through the engine. It also carries dust particles to the oil filter, which traps the dirt and reduces the chances of dirt and debris accumulating in your car’s engine.
