2020 Volkswagen Passat Maintenance Schedule

You want your Volkswagen Passat to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Passat. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Passat maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2020 Volkswagen Passat!

Volkswagen knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Passat running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2020 Volkswagen Passat problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2020 Volkswagen Passat and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Passat’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2020 Volkswagen Passat. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Volkswagen Passat battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Passat stranded. Your Volkswagen Passat won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2020 Volkswagen Passat's engine run smoother. See Volkswagen's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2020 Passat in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2020 Volkswagen Passat.
