In 2008, the VW Rabbit requires 5w-30 oil for maintenance. It's important to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to ensure the engine stays in good condition. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine problems, so using high-quality oil is crucial for smooth operation. If you encounter an unpleasant burning smell associated with the oil, it's essential to have it checked promptly to prevent any potential car issues, including the risk of an explosion. Poor quality oil can cause the engine to fail, resulting in decreased gas mileage and potentially leading to engine knocking noises.
