How often do I change the oil in my 2010 Volkswagen Beetle?

Asked by Ernie2010 Jun 01, 2012 at 10:39 AM about the 2010 Volkswagen Beetle 2.5L

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I purchased from Carmax.  They stated you don't have to use synthenic oil, but I was recommended to go to Volkswagen and have them to do it.

Thanks!! My father actually told me to go vw for the oil change. Thanks again, I appreciate the honesty!

In canada it is once every 8,000 kilometers, which would be about every 5,000 miles. But yeah listen to Tom and check the manual and VW dealeer.

Tom rocks again. Dubs love their Synthetic. I, personally, on the "big 5s" on my odometer. So, increments of 5K (20K, 25K, etc.). Find it easier to remember when to change it then. I do use 5w-40 for my bug and I have always used Mobil 1 in all my vehicles. Its a great product and I have nothing but the best to say about it.

I work at a VW dealer and the factory recommends every 10,000 miles and to use Synthetic oil always.
