We are proud to have all our technicians certified and trained to perform auto services. They can guide our customers on oil change service intervals and types of motor oil.
An oil change procedure for a diesel engine or gasoline engine is similar; however, the motor oil used is different. The catalytic convertor of a diesel engine can handle the higher concentration of additives in diesel engine motor oil. Typically, diesel engines’ motor oil has a higher viscosity, designed specifically to be used in diesel engines. Using the wrong type of motor oil can severely damage the engine. At Nemer Volkswagen of Latham, our qualified technicians are familiar with all types of Volkswagen engines, including the VW TDI engine. They will use only the most compatible motor oil for the engine type.
For most types of vehicles, we recommend that you use synthetic oil. It offers some key advantages of conventional motor oil. With synthetic oil, you get a man-made motor oil designed to provide superior performance. With synthetic oil, you get better lubrication for the engine components. This means the engine parts can move more efficiently, and they also get better protection from friction. The heat generated by the engine is also minimized with synthetic oil. For oil change service intervals, synthetic oil can last longer as has better chemical stability. The fuel efficiency of the engine will also improve with synthetic motor oil.
To book an oil change, you can simply go to our online service scheduling portal, or you can give us a call. Apart from genuine OEM parts and certified technicians at Nemer Volkswagen of Latham, we offer you a hassle-free and pleasant customer experience.
