How often should I get my Volkswagen Passat serviced?

I just purchased a pre-owned Volkswagen Passat and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. Can you advise on the recommended service intervals and any tips for extending the vehicle's lifespan?

It is recommended to follow the Volkswagen Passat maintenance schedule which typically recommends a service every 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. This ensures that your vehicle stays in top condition and helps prevent any major issues from arising.

In addition to following the recommended service intervals, it's important to pay attention to your vehicle's warning lights and address any issues as soon as they arise. This will help prevent any further damage and extend the overall lifespan of your Volkswagen Passat.

Regularly checking and changing your oil is also crucial for maintaining your Volkswagen Passat. It is recommended to have an oil change every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
