How can I increase the lifespan of my Volkswagen Passat's engine?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Passat and I want to make sure I take proper care of the engine. What maintenance should I follow to ensure the longest possible lifespan?

Regularly check and change the oil according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. This will help keep the engine running smoothly and prevent any potential damage.

Make sure to also regularly check and replace the air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and decrease engine performance.

Avoid accelerating and braking aggressively. This can put extra strain on the engine and decrease its lifespan.
