Apologies for the daft question which maybe simple to many however as a non petrol/diesel head it does get confusing when getting many different answers. I own a 2010 Diesel Skoda Octavia VRs - a true beauty in the making. I do around 12000-15000 mileage annually. My question is how often should i get the oil change/ oil filter changer and the other filters changed ( air and pollen?). I am hoping to keep the car a while and I want to get into a routine of regular maintenance without over spending unnecessarily. I suggested an annual oil/oil filter change but not sure if I need to combine it with the air/pollen filter or even changing coolant/brake fluid? I always get confused by the experts when i ask with these interim Vs Full services are due.....I just don't want to get ripped off. I am not keen relying on the on board computer to remind as they are never fool proof.

Please help as the more I look online for advice the more confused I get

Stick to variable and let the car tell you.

Up to 18k or 2 years.

The car will warn you about a month or 1_000 miles before an oil change is due (fixed or variable schedule).

Air and pollen filter every other oil change; brake fluid every 2 years, and aircon regas with the brake fluid change.

Should al be covered in the service book.

You will also require a fuel filter change, which I believe is every 40K.

If you have DSG 6 speed with a wet clutch, the oil and filter on that needs to be changed every 40K miles as well.
