How many kilometers should the Jetta VS5 be serviced?
2 Answers
Generally every 5,000-7,500 kilometers, the manual also emphasizes every six months or one month. After that, the service interval can be considered based on usage conditions combined with time. Jetta VS5 minor maintenance content: Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance after the car has traveled a certain distance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. Minor maintenance interval: The interval for minor maintenance depends on the effective time or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil vary among different brand grades. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Oil filters are generally divided into conventional and long-life types. Conventional oil filters are replaced together with the oil, while long-life oil filters have a longer service life.
The maintenance interval for the Jetta VS5 is generally every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, depending on your driving habits. As an old-timer who has been driving for over a decade, I can tell you that this car needs regular maintenance to stay durable. For example, if you frequently drive on highways, stretching it to 7,500 kilometers might be acceptable, but if you often deal with city traffic jams where oil consumption is faster, it's best not to exceed 5,000 kilometers. I have a friend who neglected maintenance, and the engine noise increased while fuel consumption rose—costing more to repair in the end. The first maintenance is especially crucial; after buying a new car, you should return to the dealership for an oil and filter check within the first 5,000 kilometers. Get into the habit of recording mileage and setting a phone reminder—it’s hassle-free and safer. In short, don’t slack off; timely maintenance can keep your car running for years longer.
