036103601AM Volkswagen ENGINE OIL

Engine oil has a bunch of jobs, actually. It primarily lubricates all those moving parts inside your engine – pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, everything. That lubrication cuts down on friction, which reduces wear and tear. But it’s not just about slickness. It also cools the engine by carrying heat away from those hot moving parts. It cleans things up too, picking up dirt, metal shavings, and combustion byproducts. And importantly, it seals the gaps between the piston rings and cylinder walls, which helps maintain compression. Think of it as the lifeblood of your engine. It circulates throughout the entire engine, and every single part relies on it to function properly. The oil sump is basically the reservoir, the holding tank for all that oil. It sits at the bottom of the engine and makes sure there’s always a supply of oil ready to be pumped around. The oil pump grabs oil from the sump and sends it wherever it’s needed. You’ll notice if your oil system isn’t working right, typically through a warning light on your dashboard, and potentially with engine noises, or a loss of power. It’s hugely important. Without good oil, things wear out fast. Friction is a killer for engine parts. The oil acts like a shield, protecting everything from grinding against each other. Over time, oil breaks down, gets dirty, and loses its ability to protect. That’s why regular oil changes are critical. Using the right type of oil – the correct viscosity and specification for your vehicle – makes a big difference. You can find what your car needs usually in the owner's manual. We carry a good range of oils here, and Fixparts Online has a handy lookup tool if you want to check compatibility yourself. Ignoring oil changes or using the wrong oil can lead to expensive repairs down the line – things like needing a whole engine rebuild. It really is an investment in keeping your car running smoothly.
