Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Maintenance Schedule

Every 5,000 Miles

When your odometer reads 5,000 miles, it's time to schedule your first round of maintenance for your VW Atlas Cross Sport. At this initial service appointment, trained VW technicians will rotate your vehicle's tires from front to back. Additionally, the technicians will provide an oil and filter change.

Although this is a minimal checkup, changing your oil equates to having a cleaner engine. Oil changes help reduce and remove any excess grime that can build up on your engine from use-by removing this dirt, your engine can run smoother.

Every 10,000 Miles

Your next service appointment should take place when your VW Atlas Cross Sport reaches 10,000 miles. In addition to a typical 5,000-mile appointment, the technicians will examine your brake pads. They check the brake pads' thickness and condition-this is essential in maintaining your brakes' health so you can continue to drive safely.

Every 20,000 Miles

Once your VW Atlas Cross Sport reaches 20,000 miles, technicians will perform an inspection on multiple parts of your vehicle to ensure they're in healthy condition. Your technicians will check these items below:

• Battery
• Brake fluid
• Brake system and shock absorbers
• Cooling system
• Engine and engine compartment components
• Exterior lighting
• Horn
• Windshield wiper blades and washer system
• Removable trailer hitch
• Sunroof

To keep you driving longer, the technicians also test drive your car to check for any handling malfunctions, and they inspect your tires for aging and tread depth.

Every 40,000 Miles

Every 40,000 miles, your SUV will have everything checked from the 20,000-mile service appointment. In addition, the technicians will inspect these items:

• Dust and pollen filter
• Body interior and exterior
• Coil springs and rubber buffer
• Exhaust system
• Ribbed belt
• Suspension and steering
• Underbody

At this interval, you may need to replace your tires. However, your tires may last longer with routinely scheduled maintenance.

Every 60,000 Miles

The 60,000-mile maintenance plan includes many of the services from the 40,000-mile checkup. For this interval, technicians will also replace the air filter in your VW Atlas Cross Sport and clean out the element. A clean air filter allows for proper airflow within your vehicle. Similarly, a clean air filter reduces your SUV's emissions.

Every 80,000 Miles

At your 80,000-mile routine maintenance, your VW Atlas Cross Sport will have all systems checked from the 20,000- and 40,000-mile service appointments. Additionally, your SUV's spark plugs will be replaced, and the transmission fluid will be changed. Spark plugs allow your vehicle to start, so replacing them is crucial to efficient operation.
