    ok..general question on maintenance

    I know I could search for hrs on the 10mi Oil change (synthetic)...but:
    1) What are the small things that will get me from a maint. standpoint.

    2) What and when are the big things going to get me (remember....I am trying to get a manual from the dealer...just bought the suv 2 days ago).

    3) Oil at 10k with a turbo....do most recommend (normal driving...U.S.)...5 or 7500?

    4) Also, does the S model (2011) have the tire sensing air pressure warning?

    tks...newbie...I AM A NEWBIE...

    Here's a link to VW maintenance. I realize it only goes to 2010, but the 2011 is the same.
    https://wiki.bentleypublishers.com/d...ance+Schedules


    I would change the oil at 5,000 mile intervals as turbo cars tend to enjoy consuming oil. I change mine at that interval even though I do not have a turbocharged car but most of my driving is in the city.

    I believe the newer Tiguans do not use the TPMS inside the tire but has a system that works in conjunction with the ABS system. I will let someone else confirm that.
