Oil Changes to Spark Plugs and Beyond: Your Complete 2015 GTI Maintenance Schedule

This is a 2015 VW MK7 GTI Maintenance Check list. An accountability post for me also. (Updated: 8/9/21, 9/19/21, 10/18/23, 12/02/23, 10/05/24)

Usually, as a guideline I try to follow DAP/ VW recommended schedule. Which is a little tighter than the maintenance recommended by Volkswagen.

I have divided the list in Wants and Needs. Wants, are obviously things I want to do to the car but not crucial for the car performance. The Needs are actual items that the car should use to run as intended.
