What is the best way to maintain the longevity of my Volkswagen Passat's engine?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Passat and I want to make sure that the engine lasts as long as possible. What are some tips and advice for maintaining the engine?

Changing the oil and oil filter regularly is essential for keeping your engine in good shape. Aim for every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

Keeping an eye on your coolant levels and making sure to top it off when needed can prevent your engine from overheating and causing damage.

Regularly checking and replacing worn out spark plugs and wires can improve engine performance and prevent misfires.

Avoid idling for extended periods of time, as it can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your engine.
