Getting regular oil changes is a necessary part of vehicle ownership. While heading to the dealership for routine oil changes can sometimes be a hassle if you鈥檙e busy at home or work, putting it off can have serious and expensive consequences on your engine and overall vehicle performance. Learn more about the recommended VW oil change service intervals below. Each Volkswagen model has slightly different needs. For a clear understanding of your specific Volkswagen model鈥檚 oil change needs, check your owner鈥檚 manual. With that being said, Volkswagen recommends that most of their vehicles have regular oil changes every 10,000 miles or at least once every calendar year if you don鈥檛 drive that often. If you aren鈥檛 sure when your last oil change was, it鈥檚 probably best to head to a dealership and get a fresh one. Then you can start tracking to be sure you don鈥檛 miss any necessary oil change intervals.

Like many hybrid sedans, a portion of the trunk is occupied by the hybrid system鈥檚 high-voltage battery pack; a ledge in the forward portion of the trunk takes up about half of the cargo area鈥檚 vertical space. Despite the intrusion, the gas-electric hybrid Jetta retains the regular sedan鈥檚 60/40-split folding rear seat. With the backseat folded, there鈥檚 a narrow horizontal slot between the passenger and cargo areas. Volkswagen offers a variety of powertrains for the Jetta and, generally speaking, more efficient versions come with higher price tags. We looked at four Jetta drivetrains with automatic transmissions. There鈥檚 some inevitable variation where features are concerned, but overall equipment levels are relatively similar. The Jetta Hybrid received an overall rating of four stars (out of five) for its performance in crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Standard safety features include antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, traction control, side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows. A backup camera is optional. For a full list of safety features, check out the Features & Specs page. The hybrid market has been defined by quirky-looking cars like the original Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius. Their distinctive appearance lets drivers communicate to the world that they鈥檙e driving something different without saying anything at all. The trend is repeating itself in the electric-car segment with models like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. The Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid, though, speaks to the future, and the idea that hybrids will be just another powertrain technology we鈥檒l see in more regular cars. It鈥檚 a good effort overall, but VW needs to address the car鈥檚 brake and accelerator quirks or it risks alienating potential buyers.
WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Volkswagen AG's U.S. Friday resolved a lawsuit brought by a North Carolina man whose diesel emissions case was set to be the first go to trial on Monday. White approved the case's dismissal on Friday. Virginia Lawyer Mike Melkersen, who represents David Doar, the North Carolina man along with more than 300 other U.S. VW diesel owners, said the case had been dismissed by agreement but he declined to disclose the terms. A Volkswagen spokeswoman declined to comment. The first U.S. trial could have resulted in testimony by current and former VW executives and additional negative publicity stemming from the emissions scandal.

725,000 plus attorneys fees in legal filings. The next trial is set for June 4 involving another diesel owner. Volkswagen said in early February publicity from a Netflix documentary that disclosed the company had jointly sponsored tests exposing monkeys in 2014 to toxic diesel fumes could prejudice its chances of receiving a fair trial. The German carmaker is being sued by some consumers after it admitted in September 2015 to cheating on diesel emissions tests, sparking the biggest business crisis in its history. 25 billion settlement in 2016 in the United States that addressed claims from them, environmental regulators, U.S. About 2,000 owners, however, opted out and most are pursuing court claims seeking additional compensation. Volkswagen of America had sought a six-month delay after Melkersen was interviewed in the Netlfix documentary about the company testing diesel fumes on monkeys. Volkswagen lawyers said in legal papers that "pretrial publicity has connected (the company) directly with Hitler and the Holocaust," which they said was not relevant to a trial about claims of consumer fraud. Judge Bruce White had ruled that a fair jury could be seated. White said Tuesday of high-profile cases.
