What Maintenance Does My Volkswagen Passat Need?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Passat and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. What specific maintenance tasks should I be doing and how often?

Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your Passat running smoothly. Aim to have one every 5,000 to 7,500 miles depending on your driving habits and the type of oil you use.

In addition to oil changes, it's also important to regularly check and maintain your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated and have them rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to ensure even wear.

Keep an eye on your brakes as well. If you notice any unusual noises or difficulty stopping, it's time to have them checked and possibly replaced.

To keep your Passat's engine running smoothly, make sure to have regular tune-ups and follow the recommended maintenance schedule from the manufacturer.
