How often should I change the oil in my Volkswagen Polo?

I just bought a Volkswagen Polo and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil. I've heard different opinions and I'm not sure who to trust. Can you provide some guidance?

It is recommended to change the oil in your Volkswagen Polo every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

Some people choose to change the oil every 5,000 miles, which can help keep the engine running smoothly. However, it is not necessary unless you frequently drive in extreme conditions.

If you want to be extra cautious, you can change the oil every 3,000 miles. This may be beneficial for older models or if you frequently drive in harsh weather.

In the end, it really depends on your driving habits and the condition of your vehicle. If you're unsure, follow the manufacturer's recommended guidelines or consult with a trusted mechanic.
