What Does the Light on My Dash Mean?

An indicator light activates on the dashboard of Volkswagen models when various types of vehicle service are required.

When Should I Have My Oil Changed?

Your oil and oil filter should be changed every three months or after roughly every 3,000 miles of travel. Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle and changing it regularly is the single most important piece of regular vehicle service to seek out. Most VW models have an indicator light that shines when you’re due for an oil change. There is also typically a sticker in the top left of the windshield indicating when you’re next due.
