How often should I change my Volkswagen Passat's oil?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Passat and I'm not sure how often I should change the oil. Can you offer any advice on the recommended oil change frequency for this make and model?

It is recommended to change your Volkswagen Passat's oil every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. This ensures that your engine is properly lubricated and running smoothly.

I suggest checking your owner's manual for specific recommendations on oil change frequency for your Volkswagen Passat. Different driving habits and conditions may affect when you should change the oil.

If you frequently drive in severe conditions such as stop-and-go traffic or extreme hot or cold temperatures, it is recommended to change your Passat's oil more frequently, such as every 5,000 miles.
