Volkswagen Atlas Service Intervals

What is the Volkswagen Atlas Maintenance Schedule?

While the Volkswagen Atlas is a capable vehicle that will take you effortlessly all the places you need to go, you will need to keep up with its routine maintenance to ensure it remains a reliable ride. Volkswagen Atlas service intervals typically start around 15,000 miles. Your car will generally need upkeep from 15,000 miles up to 90,000 miles. After that, a mechanic can provide more details on your car's custom recommended service schedule.

15,000-Mile Service

Aside from an oil change and tire rotation, the first major Volkswagen Atlas maintenance schedule begins at 15,000 miles. Your car may be due for an oil change at this point. It may have the engine fuel filter replaced as well to ensure top-notch performance and engine health. A mechanic will also visually check the car's major parts for signs of damage.

30,000-Mile Service

When your Atlas reaches 30,000 miles, it will once again get an oil change and a fuel filter replacement. The tires will be rotated as well. A Volkswagen mechanic will evaluate the condition of the brakes and the battery to make sure they are still in prime working condition. The suspension system will also get checked. A mechanic will perform an exterior inspection to look at the condition of the lighting elements and wipers.

60,000-Mile Service

Your VW Atlas will need some additional mechanical attention when it hits the 60,000-mile mark. As with the previous mileage milestones, the Volkswagen will have the oil changed, and its engine will get a clean fuel filter. The cabin air filter will be swapped out or cleaned at this mileage mark as well to ensure the AC system in your car is working at its best. The battery power will get checked, and the battery will be replaced with a new one if it is running low on power. The car's suspension system gets a checkup at this point too, and a certified mechanic will also look at the VW's coolant system.

90,000-Mile Service

When your Volkswagen Atlas reaches 90,000 miles, it will be due for another service checkup. When the car reaches 90,000 miles, it has the oil changed again, and a mechanic may use a different high-mileage oil at this point. The tires are checked for excessive wear and replaced if they don't have enough tread left. The transmission and power steering fluids are checked, and the spark plugs may also be replaced.
