Four Wheel Drive Oil Change

Why does it need to be replaced?

Four wheel drive oil operates in a pretty tough environment, the multi-plate clutch wears the oil over time and so it needs replacing to maintain its effi ciency. Clean oil ensures that the components within the four wheel drive system are always ready to operate when needed.

What happens if it’s not replaced?

Four wheel drive oil works very hard at maintaining the lubrication of the multi-plate clutch within the Haldex® system. If this oil is left un-changed it becomes dirty and worn out, which means it can’t lubricate the clutch correctly – eventually leading to system failure.

How often should it be replaced?

It is important that the oil in 4 Motion four wheel drive Volkswagens is replaced every 40,000 miles, as this is the maximum mileage limit
recommended by Volkswagen.

What do we do?

We remove the oil from the system and replace it with fresh oil of the correct grade to the correct level.

Benefits
