VW Recommended Maintenance

Keep Up to Date with Your Volkswagen Recommended Maintenance

The best way to keep your Volkswagen model running at its best and retain the highest value is by following your Volkswagen model's recommended maintenance. At Volkswagen of Salem, we provide the information and certified service needed to keep your Volkswagen in exceptional mechanical condition. We provide everything from competitive pricing to certified technicians to provide a streamlined service experience.

Each Volkswagen model includes a recommended service schedule based on mileage and time. By scheduling maintenance at recommended intervals, you can avoid preventable issues and maximize the longevity of your vehicle. Consider the common maintenance intervals to determine what services and replacements your Volkswagen model may need.

15,000-Mile Service

At around 15,000 miles, your Volkswagen vehicle will only require minor to standard maintenance. You will need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Getting a tire rotation at the same time will help you maximize the longevity of your tires. Our service team can reset the service interval display so that you will be alerted to your next service interval.

This time frame is also an excellent time to inspect, check, and test various components and aspects of your Volkswagen model. Some of the recommended aspects and components we recommended inspecting during this time include:

• Braking system and shock absorbers
• Cooling system
• Headlamps
• Windshield wipers
• Road performance

30,000-Mile Service

We recommend, in addition to the regular maintenance of an oil change and tire rotation, that you schedule a multipoint inspection as well. Our multipoint inspections can catch any developing issues and help you plan for what maintenance is coming up. At around this point, you may also need to replace the brake pads and fluid. Most Volkswagen models need a brake replacement at three years and every two years after.

60,000-Mile Service

When you have traveled 60,000 miles, you will need the services and inspections required at 30,000 miles and additional services and possible replacements. The extended maintenance includes battery, hoses, belts, and brake rotor inspections to determine the condition of your Volkswagen.

This interval may also be the time to replace your dust and pollen filter, air filter, spark plugs, or sunroof drains. We recommend changing your dust and pollen filter every 40,000 miles or every two years. Spark plugs often need replacing every 40,000 miles or every two years. Air filters need to be replaced every 60,000 miles or every six years.

90,000-Mile Service

With your vehicle at the 90,000-mile mark, Volkswagen recommends a comprehensive inspection in addition to the maintenance you received at 60,000 miles. Our service team uses specialized equipment to inspect the technology and safety of your vehicle. With our diagnostic tools, we can check and recalibrate sensors and features to keep your Volkswagen model driving at its best.

Some of the extended maintenance services we provide around the 90,000 miles milestone include:

• Exhaust system inspection
