Maintenance 5
Recommendations for consumables
off ("consumed"), but the temperature stress
and the fuel combustion products that enter
the oil lead to "wear", affecting especially the
chemical "additives" in the oil. For this reason,
the entire filling of engine oil must be renewed
at specified intervals.
Since this "oil wear" depends on the operating
conditions, the fuel quality and the oil quality
(the performance characteristics of the oil), oil
change intervals vary.
The longest time a filling of l
ubricating oil
may remain in the engine is 12
months.
Irrespective of the change i
ntervals, the
lubricating oil must be chan
ged at intervals
no less than every 12 months
.
Engine oils that are approved for the pump
injection engine must comply with:
• VW standard 505 01,
• VW standard 506 01 with vis
cosity
SAE 0W-30
• VW standard 507 00 with viscosity SAE
5W-30 (factory filling).
Depending on the oil quality, oil change
intervals may vary.
Engine oil according to
VW standard 506 01
or 507 00
• Oil change every 1000 operating hours.
Engine oil according to VW standard 505 01
• Oil change every 500 op
erating hours.
NOTE
Please note that the engine oil change inter-
vals must be reduced if diesel fuel with an
increased sulphur content is used.
NOTE
API or ACEA oils are only permit
ted if they fulfil
the VW standards (referred to a
bove) for the
pump injection engine.
For trucks with particulate filter systems, use
only low-ash oil. The residues of combustion
of oil additives (ash) cannot be regenerated.
¾ When topping up, the various oils may be
mixed with each other, however the oil
change interval is then determined by the
oil of the lowest quality.
Since a good engine oil is a p
re-requisite for
problem-free operation a
nd a long service life
for the engine, use only go
od quality engine
oil even when topping up an
d also during oil
change. Due to their limit
ed viscosity range,
single-grade oils should
generally not be used
all-year-round. These oi
ls should be used only
in extreme climate zones.
NOTE
No additional lubrican
ts of any sort should be
mixed in with the lubric
ating oils.
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Used oil must be kept away from children
until disposed of according to the regulations.
Under no circumstances should oil be allowed
to penetrate the mains drainage or the ground.
Because of the probl
ems of disposal and the
special tools and kn
owledge required, engine
oil and filter change
s should only be performed
by your authorised d
ealer.
