The Tayron comes with a whole vehicle warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. The first oil and oil filter change is required at 5,000 kilometers, followed by regular maintenance intervals of every 10,000 kilometers for subsequent oil and oil filter changes. Below is an introduction to the Tayron: Exterior: The Tayron adopts the latest design language of the Volkswagen SUV family, featuring a T-shaped front fascia with a continuous design between the front grille and headlight assembly. The standard version incorporates circular LED light strips in the fog light area, similar to the T-Roc, along with a trapezoidal lower air intake. The R-line version features a continuous design in the fog light area with straight light strips for a more sporty appearance. Features: The Tayron is equipped with a large central control screen that supports functions such as CarPlay, Baidu CarLife, gesture control, and panoramic imaging. Performance: The Tayron offers three engine options: a 1.4T, a 2.0T high-power version, and a 2.0T low-power version. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW (150 horsepower) and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The 2.0T high and low-power engines produce 162 kW (220 horsepower) and 137 kW (186 horsepower) respectively, with peak torques of 350 N·m and 320 N·m.

I've been driving the Tayron SUV for a few years and think oil changes depend on how you drive. Like me, mainly commuting in congested city traffic with frequent starts and stops, the engine wears out more. The manufacturer's manual recommends changing every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, but I feel the oil gets pretty black and the power seems sluggish around 7,000 kilometers. If you often drive on highways, you might stretch it to 12,000 kilometers, but pay attention to the oil quality—it's best to use full synthetic. On weekends, I always pop the hood to check the dipstick. If the level is normal, I keep driving; if not, I schedule maintenance early. Don’t just listen to others—keep a driving log and watch for signs like increased noise to know when it’s time to change. Safety first, right?

The timing for oil changes really requires careful consideration. I tend to follow the vehicle manual's recommendations – for SUVs like the Volkswagen Tayron, it's typically advised to change every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. But this isn't set in stone. For instance, the type of oil you use matters: full synthetic oil can last longer, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires more frequent changes, around every 7,500 kilometers. Also, consider your car's condition – cold starts in winter cause more wear and can accelerate oil degradation. During maintenance, check if the oil filter needs replacing too; this can extend the overall lifespan. Remember, regular oil changes actually protect the engine and prolong the vehicle's life – don't skimp on this to save a few bucks.

I just learned to drive not long ago and bought a Tiguan. I asked a mechanic how often I should change the engine oil. He said the general rule is every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. New drivers sometimes step on the accelerator too hard, putting more load on the engine and causing the oil quality to degrade faster. I also learned to check the oil level regularly by myself using the dipstick to see if it's below the mark, and add some if necessary. Don't delay too long, otherwise the engine may overheat and wear out, leading to more expensive and troublesome repairs.
