Volkswagen’s modern turbo engines can run long intervals with the correct full-synthetic oil, but severe duty—high heat, dust, short trips, or heavy stop-and-go—warrants shorter intervals. This protects turbo bearings and timing components.

• Normal service: ~10,000 miles
• Severe service (heat/dust/short trips): 5,000–7,500 miles
• Track your interval by mileage or 12 months, whichever comes first
