It’s no secret that changing your oil and filter is the key to long-lasting performance. Not only does motor oil lubricate your engine, but it also helps remove moisture and other dangerous particles.
If you’re a light driver, you might be able to extend the time between oil changes up to 10,000 miles. Our VW technicians can provide proper guidance after each oil change. During this time, you should also have our team complete the following:
At 20,000 miles or about every two years, you’ll want to bring your VW Tiguan in for a full brake inspection. This involves taking a closer look at the brake pads, rotors, and calipers. The technician should also inspect the alignment to make sure each tire is properly set.
Additionally, you might need to replace your VW Tiguan’s windshield wipers and inspect the exterior bulbs for any burnouts.
At this stage, the engine and cabin filters will most likely need to be replaced. This also is a good time to start paying closer attention to both your tires and the SUV’s braking system.
Our techs and service professionals can give you a timeline as to when each item should be replaced. If you notice your brakes starting to weaken or it becomes harder to steer, immediately schedule a service appointment.
Once your VW Tiguan reaches the 60,000-mile mark, it’s time to start replacing each tire as well as the brake pads. Keep in mind that their lifespan may fluctuate and will depend on your personal driving habits.
During this important stage, you’ll also want to fully inspect the suspension system and replace any leaky hoses.
As your VW Tiguan begins to enter its veteran status, you should think about having your vehicle’s transmission flushed and replaced with clean fluid. You’ll also want to start paying attention to the finer details, including:
Once you surpass the 100,000-mile mark, you should make a point to bring your VW Tiguan in for a full tune-up. If you keep with each mile marker, you can expect many more years of happy travel.
