Checking and relling levels
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend nding an
engine oil that conforms to the correspond-
ing VW specications and recommend keep-
ing it in the vehicle. This way, the correct en-
gine oil will always be available for a top-up if
needed.
Engine oil change
We recommend that you have the engine oil
changed by a Technical Service.
WARNING
Only change the engine oil yourself if you
have the specialist knowledge required!
●
Before opening the bonnet, read and ob-
serve the warnings ›››page285.
●
Wait for the engine to cool down. Hot oil
may cause burn injuries.
●
Wear eye protection to avoid injuries, such
as acid burns, caused by splashes of oil.
●
When removing the oil drain plug with your
ngers, keep your arm horizontal to help
prevent oil from running down your arm.
●
Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
●
Engine oil is poisonous! Used oil must be
stored in a safe place out of the reach of chil-
dren.
NOTICE
No additives should be used with engine
oil. This could result in engine damage. Any
damage caused by the use of such additives
would not be covered by the factory war-
ranty.
For the sake of the environment
●
We recommend that you change the en-
gine oil and the lter at a technical service
centre.
●
Never pour oil down drains or into the
ground.

Use a suitable container when draining the
used oil. It must be large enough to hold all
the engine oil.
